Hi. These are my estimated production start dates for different regions:
07 Jul 2017 USA, California
12 Oct 2017 USA, Pacific excluding CA
26 Oct 2017 USA, Mountain Time
08 Nov 2017 USA, Central Time
01 Dec 2017 USA, Eastern Time
06 Jan 2018 Canada
16 Feb 2018 Europe excluding the UK
13 Mar 2018 China or Hong Kong
25 Jul 2018 Australia or New Zealand << Elon said summer 2018
14 Aug 2018 UK
03 Sep 2018 Japan
I use these for calculations in the
Delivery Estimator. I updated them after Elon's production number tweets on July 2nd, 2017. I added a large gap between Canada and Europe to allow for AWD production. I think AWD production will start in early January and Europe production will start a while after that. Deliveries to Europe take 47 days on average. Therefore if Europe production starts on 16 Feb 2018, first deliveries would be on 4 Apr 2018.
As far as I know, the only data we have about this is
this general statement by Tesla and the following tweet by Elon. right-hand-drive should be after Canada, mainland Europe, and China.
Daniel: When will RHD versions be on the road in the UK?
Elon: Should be
summer next year. Sorry, really wish we could get RHD done sooner. We truly are working as fast as we can.
