Reducing prices and releasing cheaper versions of Tesla’s cars has always caused a rapid increase in orders. Released this summer, the Tesla Standard Range has received many new orders in China. Currently, the estimated delivery time for Model Y SR is 10-14 weeks. In fact, this means that orders will be completed in early 2022.
