It sounds like business as usual. They always prioritize building non-US vehicles at the beginning of each quarter.
not for Model Y's.

Model Y are not shipped overseas. Only Model S/3/X. Model Y can be shipped to Canada though.I live by the Fremont factory. I'm still seeing daily truckloads of Model 3/Model Y's but with non-US license plate mounts. Looks like they might be prioritizing deliveries outside of the US.
They're being shipped / exported somewhere not US. The past week I saw truck loads of M3/MY's with non US license plates.Model Y are not shipped overseas. Only Model S/3/X. Model Y can be shipped to Canada though.
And first month of each quarter production of Model 3 goes overseas. Then transport, and delivery in last month of quarter.
Mine has been moved up to Apr 14 to May 4.Take this for what it's worth, but I just got off of the phone with my SA and he stated that Tesla has officially issued a production halt on the Model Y. He went on to say that this likely means that NONE will be delivered in April. Has anyone else heard something similar?

Good to know, I thought Asia market is supplied by Giga Shanghai.@Anndybo there was a truckload of Model Ys caught on camera recently being shipped to South Korea: Tesla Model Y's destined for South Korea arrive at Pier 80 in San Francisco - Drive Tesla Canada

you may be right. On the other hand according to the MY tracking spreadsheet it doesn't look like any VINs have been assigned from new builds since about March 18th or so.I’m calling BS. New poster who posts nearly nothing but negative claiming something that doesn’t make sense at all to people who truly understand the company. That’s what I think it’s worth.
There are not a lot of parts in common between S/X and 3/Y. If the issue is a chip shortage, I expect they would make S/X because they have more profit dollars per car. I don't think there is any difference in terms of energy credit value Tesla sells to the ICD folks.Wondering if it's the shortage. Model S and X have been pushed way back too.
What other Brand? Name another ev builder with vehicles in stock that compare with Tesla?Welp, if that really is the case, then I'm moving on to another brand. Their production and distribution paradigm is amateur hour.
My understanding is other OEMs postponed their suppliers last year for the pandemic. Tesla never did. Therefore the shortage is a problem not affecting Tesla.@z335is not sure if you've been following any general automotive or tech sector news lately, but there is a global semiconductor shortage that is affecting virtually every automotive and tech manufacturer in varying degrees over the past few months and for the forseeable future. Telsa is not alone in this issue, and other car markers have had temporary shutdowns recently due to parts shortages; I'm certain there will be more.
My point being: yes their production and distribution has some issues (though remember they're still a relatively young company compared to other car makers) but in this case it's not really their fault, and you're about as likely to experience the same type of delays even if you jump ship.
If he's invested enough to post on forums then I doubt he's going anywhere. I get it though - he's had one delivery go sideways and he really wants his car. I'm also waiting for mine. The forums are a great place to blow off steam while we wait.What other Brand? Name another ev builder with vehicles in stock that compare with Tesla?
I manage Fleet for my company,, and get regular updates about delivery delays on domestic auto manufacturers due to chip shortages. What read a few weeks back about chip shortages:
- only a few global chip fab houses these days.
- domestic auto makers puller orders when pandemic started
- phone manufacturers increased their orders and booked all that capacity.
- auto makers begging/playing catch-up now.
- additionally, auto makers use older chip technology and chip makers have shifted their energy/capacity toward newer technology/markets.
So double whammy blow to car makers.
Aside...just a guess, but I'd be surprised if Tesla was using old technology. So perhaps IF chip shortages are causing Tesla delays, those delays would be a lesser problem than they would be for other auto makers.
