Discounts/incentives For most US zip codes tested by Electrek with different Model Y configurations (wheels and paint colors), Tesla quotes delivery within “1-3 weeks”. But we also found several zip codes on both the West Coast and the East Coast where Tesla claims it can deliver the new vehicle “today”: This would point to Tesla already having vehicles in inventory despite launching it just 4 days ago. But Tesla is hiding the inventory. If you search for Model Y in Tesla’s new inventory, you can’t find any in the US at the time of writing: However, Tesla is showing some units in inventory to people configuring new Model Ys. Some potential buyers are reporting that Tesla has a tab that pops up and directs them to some new inventory available (via TroyTeslike on Patreon): This confirms that Tesla already has new non-Launch Edition Model Y in inventory available for sale in the US – pointing to Tesla having no backlog of demand for the new vehicle. Electrek’s Take This is much worse than I thought. I thought that Tesla would build a backlog of demand for the new Model Y in the US from people who didn’t want the fully loaded version, but it looks like that backlog lasted 4 days. Of course, it’s all because of Tesla and Elon, and brand destruction. Many people who invested in the stock market lost a lot of money over the last few weeks, and these people often happen to be people who buy new cars. Top comment by igneous
