Tesla got a massive number of orders for both the RWD and Performance versions on "launch day" (10 June 2022) as people had been waiting for many years to place their order - myself included.The number of posters that have been posting about their MYP orders have been unbelievable. I am only new here, but the MYP to RWD order ratio is easily 10:1
Most of those day 1 RWD orders have already been delivered in the last 6 months, but the first Performance VIN allocations only started a month ago, so right now the Perfs coming to Australia outnumber the RWDs.
Just as an example, there's a shipment of Model Ys coming to WA right now with 85x Performance and only 15x RWD.
But the Performance are all from 10th of June orders, the RWDs would be from September/October.
Once they catch up on the initial rush most of the discussion you see will go back to being about the (more popular overall) RWD variant.
There was a spreadsheet tracking Model Y orders for the first few days, and RWDs were 86% of the orders on that sheet. 803 out of 931 orders.
I don't know if that's a big enough sample to be statistically significant vs the ~10,000 RWDs delivered in Australia so far, but I imagine it's close enough.
