Tesla Model Y demand skyrockets, nearly sold out through Q3

[F-22Raptor]

The demand for the Tesla Model Y Long Range variant is skyrocketing as the company now outlines the soonest possible date to take delivery in September, meaning the vehicle is nearly sold out in Q3, even though it is still Q2.

After releasing the all-electric crossover last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted that the Model Y would overtake the Model 3 in terms of popularity. In several markets, like China and more locally in California, the Model Y has already established itself as the overachieving little brother because people are tending to buy the all-electric crossover more than the all-electric sedan.


As Tesla continues to ramp up its manufacturing efforts for all of its vehicles, the Model Y is the main focus of the automaker as it expands into new regions. In Austin at Giga Texas, the Model Y and the Cybertruck will take center stage when the facility begins manufacturing the vehicles by the end of 2021. This plan is reflected with the Model Y in Europe, where Tesla’s first Gigafactory on the continent in Germany will manufacture the Model Y straight out of the gate later this year.


However, demand is becoming a bit overwhelming for Tesla as it aims to complete two new factories by the end of 2021. The company’s cars are becoming so popular in so many regions that delivery dates are becoming more prolonged, meaning the need for additional production facilities is becoming more apparent as the transition to sustainable energy continues to leap forward.

It was hinted in early May that Tesla had already sold out of Q2 production volume because of increasing demand. While that is still an amazing accomplishment, Tesla is already starting to sell out for the next quarter with at least one of its cars. The Model Y Long Range is proving to be Tesla’s biggest seller, it appears, as the company is estimating the earliest delivery date will be September, the final month of 2021’s Q3.

The demand has led to Tesla increasing the prices of the Model Y by $3,500 so far this year, after cutting the cost of the car significantly in February. Tesla has avoided encountering severe problems due to the global chip shortage. Still, demand and some parts shortages have resulted in Tesla hiking the prices of its two mass-market vehicles in 2021.


Tesla has made several changes to the Model Y this year, including removing a lumbar-support option in the passenger’s seat. One of the biggest changes, however, is Tesla’s removal of radar equipment in the Y and the 3, a move that Tesla has long considered in its quest for Full Self-Driving.
Nevertheless, the demand for the Model Y is skyrocketing based on recent registration figures. The Model Y overtook the Model 3 in April, according to the EV Sales Blog’s Global sales figures. It sold 16,232 units compared to the Model 3’s 14,980. The Model 3 retained the title of most popular EV in 2021, but the Model Y sits in third, just behind the Wuling HongGuang Mini EV from the GM-SAIC-Wuling venture in China.
CEO Elon Musk predicted earlier this year that the Model Y would be the best-selling vehicle globally in 2022. “When it comes to Model Y, we think Model Y will be the best-selling car or vehicle of any kind in the world and probably next year,” he said during the Q1 2021 Earnings Call. “So I’m not 100% certain next year, but I think it’s quite likely. I’d say more likely than not that in 2022, Model Y is the best-selling car or truck of any kind in the world.”
The Model Y was the first vehicle in Tesla history to be profitable in its first quarter of production. The demand for the Model Y and its evident growth through sales figures from various outlets bodes well for Tesla’s financials. The company will aim for its eighth-consecutive profitable quarter when it reports its earnings sometime next month.

All it takes is a prolonged spike in gasoline prices and people are just going to jump on the EV bandwagon in droves as a protest.

All it takes is a prolonged spike in gasoline prices and people are just going to jump on the EV bandwagon in droves as a protest.

I plan to purchase a Dual Motor Model 3 before the end of the year. Just wait until Berlin and Austin ramp with 4680 cells and Cybertruck ramps. Tesla will hit another level.

Many Tesla models are now sold out until 2023 in the US even after price increase

Tesla updated its delivery timelines on new vehicle orders and it showed that many models, especially the Model Y, are sold out for the year in the US – even after the price increase.

There’s currently a rush to order electric vehicles as the technology gains in momentum naturally and through the gas price increase.

For Tesla, we previously reported that it has resulted in a significant increase in its order rate in several regions of the US.

The best way we have to track the backlog of orders is to look at Tesla’s delivery timelines on new orders on its online configurator.

Today, Tesla updated all of the delivery timelines across the lineup and it is showing a strong backlog of orders, especially for the Model Y.

The base version of the Model Y, which now sells for $63,000 after recent price increases, is now being delivered between January 2023 and April 2023, according to the online configurator:

As we previously reported, Tesla enables faster delivery if you order more options, like bigger wheels, the Full Self-Driving (FSD) Package, or the Performance Version.

But a new order with any of those options will still push the order to the second half of the year.

The Model 3 also got delivery timeline updates, but it is actually a lot more reasonable than the Model Y.

The base version of the Model 3, which is Tesla’s cheapest vehicle starting at $47,000, is still getting a delivery in 2022 for new orders: July–September 2022.

You can get the Model 3 one month faster by adding the 19″ wheels, which are $1,500 more expensive.

You can also gain a month if you want to upgrade to the Model 3 Long Range: June–August 2022.

The Performance version is listed as being delivered in June–July 2023.

The Model S also got an update and Tesla also has a significant backlog of orders on its flagship sedan – though that’s not necessarily because of a surge in order but the fact that Tesla is still catching up to a backlog after the vehicle was out of production for half of last year.

New orders for the base version, which now starts at $100,000 after a recent price increase, are now being delivered in “November 2022–January 2023”:

You can get the car a bit faster by adding options, like with the other models, but don’t expect the car until later in the second half of the year.

The situation is even worse for the Model X, which was out of production for even longer than Model S last year.

The very base version of the Model X with a five-seat configuration is not getting delivered until the second quarter of 2023:

If you choose a six or seven-seat configuration, you can get it sooner, but you are still going to have to wait until at least December 2022.

Model X Plaid has a quicker delivery timeline of “Aug – Oct 2022,” but it is only available in a six-seat configuration.

Adding the $12,000 FSD package doesn’t affect the timeline of the Model S or Model X like it does for Model 3 and Model Y.

2nd half of '22 production and delivery numbers are going to be insane.

Giga Berlin now open and Giga Texas soon to follow
