First off, it's correct that Model Y's are only sold in US/CA and China (which produces their own). There are a handful that are sent/sold to S. Korea from Fremont but none are sold in Europe -- that will be handled by Berlin when it opens.
If you look/filter the master spreadsheet, there were deliveries to California in April (first month of quarter) but there weren't a ton. Maybe one or two a day on average. But two things on this: 1) the spreadsheet only represents a fraction of what's actually sold, however it's probably large enough to be somewhat representative, and 2) Q2 was abnormal for many reasons. With the containment hold they had in late April and early May, there were very few deliveries in the first month nationwide so it was all backloaded to the last 6-8 weeks. This left(leaves) a lot of May and June orders (and even some April orders) without delivery. No one knows what's going to happen in the coming weeks. Historically California gets theirs in the last week or two of the quarter with sporadic deliveries before that. But I'm not sure Q3 will be the same as Q2 and before.
If they indeed already sold out (or nearly so) Q3 production, there's no way that they can batch all of outstanding CA Q2 orders in September. That probably can't work. I am guessing that they are going to have to keep delivering Ys in CA way into July just to keep up. At that pace, ordering in August may not get you a car until 2022. Hopefully, Giga Austin comes on line sometime this year.
