It's worth noting that Tesla has updated the delivery estimates for new orders:
12 weeks for Performance 3's and Y's
12 weeks for all variants of the S and X
They still list standard delivery for the standard 3/Y so it's tough to guess what might be going on. Maybe some major design updates? Maybe some major line shutdowns due to COVID? Maybe some supplier issues? Maybe deferred winter vacations?
The only technical commonality that I know of is that the standard 3/Y are the highest volume models whereas the others have the highest profit margins. Tesla typically prioritizes the high margin products as do most companies, but it may be that a limited supply of parts or staff has forced them to consolidate their focus down to the 2 main production lines despite the lower margins.
