IT Home May 11th news, according to Musk, the delivery time of Tesla has become a problem, and the unsolvable supply chain problems are making delivery time increasingly ridiculous.
Musk warned that Tesla's delivery time has become so bad that Tesla may terminate orders for certain models. It is common for consumers to book a new energy vehicle in advance, but what has happened in the past few years has been affecting the delivery time of new energy vehicles. Moreover, since the COVID-19 pandemic has shown no sign of ending, the delivery of new energy vehicles will become increasingly difficult in the future.
Compared with gasoline vehicles, new energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular today. There are already a considerable number of traditional automakers that will increase their new energy vehicle production in the next few years, which means that the popularity of new energy vehicles will only continue to grow. Moreover, the recent continued rise in gasoline prices has led to increasing interest in savings in new energy vehicles and their "fuel" spending, which are enough to make it easier for many people to turn to new energy vehicles.
Musk recently made a speech at the " Financial Times " Auto Future Summit via video call and provided the latest news about Tesla's current situation. Musk explained that the delivery time for Tesla orders is now ridiculously long due to production issues. He explained that although waiting time has become a problem before supply chain problems occur. But later the demand for consumers exceeded production, so that the problem reached a ridiculous level. In order to temporarily solve this problem, Musk said that Tesla may need to "restrict or stop accepting orders" within a certain period of time.
In a previous interview about whether Ske's acquisition of Twitter will have a commercial impact on Tesla, Musk said he believed that Tesla "will be able to sell all the cars we can build."
Tesla has many different models to choose from, and each car can be equipped with some parts separately. These different options will lead to different waiting times. Musk said in an interview that the delivery time for some vehicles has reached a year later.
IT Home learned that by purchasing on Tesla's website, it can be seen that the delivery time of Model 3 that does not have any optional delivery time is currently set between July and October this year, and pre-order orders for Model S are expected to be delivered between October 2022 and January 2023. The waiting time for other models will be longer, such as the Model Y, currently scheduled to be delivered between November 2022 and February 2023. The current delivery of Model X is estimated to be between January and April 2023.
Of course, this is just that there is no waiting time for any optional default model. If additional optional parts are added to the consumer, the waiting time may be shorter or longer.
