The estimated delivery time of the newly ordered Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus is now January 2022 according to Tesla's online configurator. That's at least over 4.5 months from now and it basically means that all of the entry-level cars were sold out for 2021.
In the case of the Long Range AWD cars, customers have to wait until November, while the Performance versions are available n 4-7 weeks, which is less than before (5-8 weeks).
While we can't evaluate how the changes relate to supply and demand, it's clear that the company is prioritizing the higher-price, higher-margin versions. It's similar with the Model Y.
The new Model S and Model X are also expected to be delivered in 2022, but the flagship models appear to be the most constrained.
