Another once confirmed that he saw the sudden delivery date change, which is now around Dec. 2022 to April 2023.
At this point I think it is common knowledge that if you are ordering a Tesla your delivery date is not something you can count on. Maybe time to try a different brand that treats their customers better?

If you are one of them, it is suggested that you purchase the Tesla Model X Plaid since this EV is expected to be delivered before 2022 ends (around Aug. to Oct. 2022 to be exact).
Why Tesla Model X Delivery is Delayed?
Elon Musk recently confirmed that one of the major reasons why the Tesla Model X delay is happening is because of supplier-related issues.
Aside from this, another problem involves stopping the production of old Tesla Model X units to manufacture the refreshed versions.
The billionaire explained that it is a bad move to halt the production of the original Model X units for around eight months, especially since the demand is still high, as reported by Electrek.
But, it seems like the delayed Model X delivery time is not expected to affect the business in a serious manner. In 2021, the giant EV maker was able to deliver almost one million Tesla Model 3 and Model Y units.
Compared to these two EV models, Model S and Model X units only reached around 25,000 deliveries. If you want to see further details about the issues causing the Model X delivery time delay, you can visit this link.
Meanwhile, the giant automaker confirmed that the Tesla Semi electric trucks are now open for pre-orders and reservations.
On the other hand, the Tesla overheating CPU issue led to a massive EV recall as experts warned it can put drivers in danger.
