Tesla pushes multiple trim levels for Model Y, Model X for 2023 deliveries

Tesla has pushed delivery wait times for several trim levels of the Model Y and Model X back to 2023 as demand for the automaker’s vehicles exceeds the company’s production capabilities.

In 2021 and 2022, Tesla saw demand for its cars reach extraordinary levels as it continued to work on expanding its production capacity. Tesla has pushed forward several configurations of its vehicles expected delivery dates into 2022 and 2023, with plans to open soon and extremely preliminary ideas for the Gigafactory Texas for possible expansion of the Fremont factory in Northern California.

first seen Twitter users on Thursday, Tesla’s Model Y has a longer range and longer range with the induction wheel configuration of the all-electric crossover with estimated delivery dates from January 2023 to April 2023 and October 2022 to January 2023. The Model Y Display still has delivery time in 2022, with the range expected within June and July.

The Model X Long Range, the SUV’s “base” trim level, is not expected to be completed by Tesla between December 2022 and March 2023. The Plaid powertrain still has an August to October 2022 delivery time, the online design studio says.

The Model 3 and Model S still have each vehicle trim level available for delivery in 2022. The Model S pushed some configurations back to January earlier this week, but they have been revised for delivery in 2022. The base trim 3 of the model has a delivery date of June to August 2022, long range June to August 2022 and performance from June to July 2022. The Model S Long range is expected to be delivered from July to September 2022, with the Plaid being one. June or July 2022 delivery.

CEO Elon Musk has said in the past that Tesla’s demand is not an issue, but production capacity. When Hertz ordered 100,000 vehicles from Tesla last October, Musk said there is “far more demand for Tesla than there is production” when deciding how the rental company will acquire the vehicles, which now include the Model Y.

Tesla recently increased the prices of all four of its vehicles due to “inflationary pressure”. The hike recently disqualified the Model 3 and Model Y from the California Clean Air Rebate Program, while the Model X Plaid received the biggest price increase of all: $12,500.

Tesla hikes highest average transaction price in 2022, Musk warns of ‘inflationary pressure’

It is unknown whether Tesla is factoring in the ability for Gigafactory Texas to ramp up production in these estimates. While ramping up a facility may take some time, Tesla is actively building some Model Y builds at its Texas facility, so the plant could help ease Tesla’s extended wait times as soon as possible.

Tesla Model Y welcomed by Kansas PD, expected to give cost savings – Elon Musk - Elon Musk

In a recent press release, the Leawood Police Department in Kansas announced that it had acquired a Tesla Model Y Long Range for its fleet. The vehicle would be used as one of the Leawood PD’s patrol cars. The Model Y has already been painted in the Leawood PD’s black and white colors. The department noted that they started looking into the idea of an all-electric patrol car last year after seeing dismal reviews of available hybrid patrol cars. Captain Kirt Yoder, the agency’s project manager, noted that Tesla Kansas had been quite helpful. “I ended up contacting about ten agencies from New York to California. Tesla-Kansas City was great. They were eager to help and answer all our questions,” he said. Apart from being a green vehicle, the Model Y is also expected to give the Leawood Police Department substantial cost savings. Over a year ago, a cost comparison already showed that the department’s Ford Explorer patrol SUV would cost about $4,500 per year to run. That was a time w...

Sen. Joe Manchin blasts EV tax credit expansion, calls for hydrogen development

West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin blasted a potential expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit on Thursday, while also calling for the development of the hydrogen sector to decarbonize the transportation industry. Manchin, who called a Biden administration proposal to broaden the EV tax credit program “ludicrous,” said the waiting period for EVs right now is already so long that there is no point to offering more money to incentivize consumers to buy a battery-powered car. “There is a waiting list for EVs right now, with the fuel prices, but they still want us to throw a $5,000, or $7,000 or $12,000 credit for us to buy electric vehicles,” said during a Thursday Senate budget hearing. Manchin added that production volumes of EVs are far away from fulfilling current demand levels, so it would be ridiculous to offer additional funding to the programs. It is evident that EVs are becoming more popular, and with automakers in nearly all situations relating to EVs still workin...
