In early 2021, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) opened the Model Y order page in China. Tesla has been working to expand Gigafactory Shanghai to mass produce Model Y for sale in China and export to neighboring areas, including Australia and parts of Europe.
Now, an Electrek report shows that Tesla has already received enough orders to deplete its stock of the popular vehicle for the first three months of 2021.
The order page has only been up for six days, but the estimated delivery on the Tesla website shows that orders will not be fulfilled until the second quarter of 2021. The performance version is being quoted as available in the third quarter of the year.
A study covered on Tuesday said Tesla may already be producing 3,000 Model Ys a week at Shanghai’s Gigafactory. If necessary, this would mean that Tesla received more than 36,000 orders for Model Y in six days, or 6,000 orders per day, double the amount of Model Y that the company is capable of producing today.
