Deliveries of Tesla Model 3 to Australia are delayed

Are you waiting for Tesla Model 3? You may be waiting a little longer than originally expected.

Delivery tracker VedaPrime reports that Tesla Australia “sales consultants are calling and emailing everyone to wait for deliveries in the second half of the year”.

Customers on social networks claim that they were contacted by Tesla representatives, who confirmed that their orders have been canceled.

It is not clear when the pending orders will appear in the second half.

The waiting time for new Tesla Model 3 orders has been reduced recently: from three weeks in October 2021 to six and nine months in March 2022 and to 12 months earlier in May 2022.

Orders for the Model 3 are still open, and all variants sold in Australia are made in China.

Tesla suffered from a blockage of work in China that forced it to close its Gigafactory in Shanghai.

He now works in closed shifts when employees sleep in the factory to cut traffic, and is not expected to return to full speed for at least another week.

Despite the challenges it faces, the Tesla Model 3 is Australia’s best-selling electric car with some margin so far in 2022. To date, a colossal 4469 have been delivered to the area.

However, Tesla is far from alone in the fight against supplies. Kia and Hyundai have severely limited supplies of their flagship electric vehicles, earlier this year Polestar was forced to turn off the online configurator, and the Volvo XC40 Recharge lineup quickly sold out after orders opened in 2021.
