Delivery dates for the Model Y were pushed back even further from previous delays to March, with demand for the electric SUV running high even outside of North America.
Some Tesla Model S and Model 3 configurations have also been pushed back as far as June 2022.
In addition, the Model Y’s Long Range variant is actually considered sold out in Canada and the U.S. since August. The Tesla Model 3 Plus variant also sold out in Canada and the U.S. around the same time.
