Tesla recently released new Model Y stock in the US, mere days after beginning pre-orders for its highly anticipated flagship vehicle.
Tesla’s efforts to boost sales reveal a struggling market, highlighting the industry’s overall sluggishness.
On Friday, Tesla unveiled its latest iteration, the non-Long Range Model Y, to the North American market.
Prior to its launch, the fully loaded $60,000 Launch Edition Model Y became available for ordering in January, with deliveries commencing in early March.
North American consumers now have the opportunity to acquire a more affordable variant of the newly launched Model Y from Tesla, priced at just $49,000.
Although the Solely the Mannequin Y Lengthy Vary AWD is currently the only option available, it’s worth noting that this model has been Tesla’s best-seller in North America to date.
At the time, attention was focused on Tesla’s impressive performance in the US market, driven by key model releases under the guidance of CEO Elon Musk.
We exclusively rely on several key performance indicators to track the demand for our newly launched Model Y in the US market.
- Supply timelines on new orders
- Obtainable stock
- Reductions/incentives
When examining various US zip codes alongside distinct Mannequin Y configurations featuring diverse wheels and paint colors, Tesla typically quotes delivery times within a 1-3 week window.
Notably, we also uncovered several zip codes on both the West Coast and East Coast where Tesla claims it can deliver the new vehicle “right away”:
Despite being on the market for just four days, Tesla has already stocked up on Autopilot-equipped vehicles.
But Tesla’s stock prices remain shrouded in mystery?
With Tesla’s latest stock offerings, chances are you’ll struggle to find Mannequin Y in the US market as of this writing.
Tesla is now showcasing select options for customers building their own Model Y configurations.
Some investors claim to have received notifications from Tesla about a link directing them to explore new stocks, reportedly shared by Troy Teslike on Patreon.
Confirming reports, Tesla now has a fresh inventory of its non-Launch Edition Model Y available in the US market, suggesting a lack of backlog for this new vehicle.
Electrek’s Take
I have to agree with you – that’s truly dreadful writing. It appears that my assumption about Tesla building a backlog of demand for the Model Y was short-lived, as the vehicle’s popularity proved fleeting, with reservations dwindling to almost zero within just four days.
It’s largely attributed to Tesla’s innovative technology and Elon Musk’s visionary leadership, which has contributed to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, leading to a significant shift away from traditional gas-guzzlers.
Recent stock market fluctuations have left numerous investors reeling, with many unfortunate souls facing significant financial losses. Interestingly, this demographic also happens to coincide with a key group that typically purchases new vehicles.
Now, the sole remaining factor is for Tesla to introduce reduced pricing and offer subsidies or financing options – the latter likely to arrive first, given that it’s already a reality for new Model 3 orders in the US.
As the market teeters on uncertainty, a potential silver lining emerges for Tesla: if Trump’s trade policies lead to a prolonged downturn in the inventory market, the Federal Reserve may be compelled to reduce interest rates, thereby rendering Tesla’s 0% financing even more attractive and further incentivizing buyers to subsidize their purchases.
That’s a enjoyable balancing act.
It’s possible that Tesla will offer incentives on the Model Y in the US within the next two weeks, potentially ahead of schedule.
