Our model Y order has shifted from February to April and now they just removed the expected delivery date. Meh. It’ll get here. Still, seven month waiting list and no matter how much they keep ramping up production the waiting lines keep getting longer. Good problems to have for them...I suppose. Right now they are building at a rate of a little under 3000 cars per day. Speculation by some that to stop the waiting lists from getting any longer they need to build closer to 5000 a day and 7000 to get the lusts down to a reasonable amount. And that’s without going into any new major markets. Two new factories coming on line in the next 6 months will help.
Normally people would switch to another brand with wait times like that, but right now the options are slim. That is changing though. GM, Ford and VW will all be ramping up production of middle class affordable EV’s in the next year. Things might look a lot different in a year.
Tesla’s biggest mote is still the Supercharger network. Tesla May open the Supercharger network to some limited extent to other brands but right now it defines the brands. In our province the Supercharger network has doubled in a year (20 to over 40 by the new year). They are literally popping up in every little town on a variety of minor routes. Road trips for us have changed drastically in the last couple years.
Anyway, all above JMHO.
