Maybe we will see a MY soon. Maybe not. I still haven't given up on Tesla, but even if book opens up in May, my good friends stand firm. No delivery until Q3 earliest. They've been right so far. I said this last year in October when everyone was cheering for Giga Berlin. Look how long that took to get sorted.
Keep in mind that China has the same insane zero COVID policy Australia had. The shutdowns in Shanghai are huge. This affects transportation of raw materials and components to Gigafacrory, and finished cars sent to port. The backlog is huge in Shanghai. We haven't even seen the worst yet.
I've configured a Polestar with delivery in September. Tired of holding my breath. Not sure if that will be shipped... but need a second car. Can't wait longer.
If MY sales launches soon and delivery in Q3, I'll forfeit the 500 quid and go for MY. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
Tesla hasn't prioritized Australia and I'm not sure why they would do that now when the backlog will build up...and demand is super strong in Europe. Frankly, I feel disappointed.
All I can say is that Polestar is selling like butter. The cars just disappear. I never thought oil would make 120, but then who thought Putin would pull a monumentally idiotic, insane and brainless move. If anything good comes out of high Oil price, its people going EV. But what is happening in Ukraine is unforgivable.
A direct result of the immense gas shortage looming when Germany will (hopefully from an ethical and moral obligation) refuse to pay for the gas in Russian Rubble Currency, the shortage will cause Giga Berlin to stall. With China trying to purge COVID, even more delays will occur...
What a mess...
