This is a big deal since the giant automaker closed its doors for new electric car orders from European residents.
Consumers were not able to purchase the popular EV models ever since Tesla stopped its production back in January 2021.
The automaker explained that the production halt was needed so that it could update its two flagship electric vehicles.
At first, the EV maker tried taking orders a few months after the production shutdown.
But, because consumers could not get their EVs, the manufacturer decided to take orders in December 2021 completely.
