Wait times for new Teslas are as long as 10 months — unless you're willing to splurge for expensive add-ons

You'll have to wait almost a year for Tesla's cheapest model. Spring for a pricier version, and you can get one next month.

Not sure how mainstream $60,000 plus cars will become. Unless there is a $30k EV that can go at least 1000 km and charge under 15 min... It still does not have a mass adoption game changing potential.

I'm not disputing Tesla's popularity... However, for EVs to really become mainstream and a game changer they still need to meet those benchmarks of <$30k & 1000km range & <15 min charge.

Tesla might stop taking vehicle orders beyond a certain period of time due to ridiculous demand, says Elon Musk - Tesla Oracle

During his Financial Times interview, Elon Musk talks about the ridiculous demand of Tesla vehicles the automaker is facing and might stop taking orders.

Tesla might stop taking vehicle orders beyond a certain period of time due to ridiculous demand, says Elon Musk​

Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted during a keynote interview with the Financial Times (FT) that his electric auto manufacturing company may stop taking orders beyond a certain period of time (video below). Because, on certain vehicles and trim levels, the vehicle delivery timeline is almost 1 year now.

The reason behind this delivery timeline stretch is due to the “ridiculous demand (in Musk’s words)” that Tesla is facing right now. If we go through Tesla’s online car configurator, we can see that Tesla Model Y and Model X have the longest delivery waiting periods stamped for new orders.

“We’re actually probably going to limit or just stop taking orders for anything beyond a certain period of time because some of the timing is like a year away,” Musk said during the online interview. “So now, demand is exceeding production to a ridiculous degree,” he added.

Tesla Model Y and Model X delivery date estimates in the Tesla online car configurator as of 12th May 2022. Model Y and Model X base variant delivery dates are showing as Nov 2022 – Feb 2023 and Jan 2023 – Apr 2023 for the United States respectively.


The current production capacity of Tesla is not able to meet the insane demand for its cars, especially the Model Y despite its getting produced at 4 Gigafactories around the world (Fremont, Shanghai, Berlin, and Texas).

In the United States, Model Y Long Range estimated delivery timelines provided by Tesla are between Nov 2022 – Feb 2023. The production of this variant of the Model Y most probably has not yet started at Giga Texas. Tesla factory in Austin, TX opened last month but the vehicles given to employees suggest that a new Model Y Standard Range AWD variant is getting made at this location which has not yet been launched for the public.
