Analysts believe that as electric vehicle technology becomes more and more mature, more users begin to order electric vehicles. Combined with rising gasoline prices and a new law starting to limit EV subsidies, EVs are gaining popularity in the short term.
Although Tesla has repeatedly raised prices for all of its models, rising demand for electric vehicles has led to a significant increase in Tesla’s order numbers in several regions of the United States. In March of this year, Tesla’s official website showed that the delivery time of many Tesla electric vehicles in the US market has been scheduled for 2023.
In May, Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned that Tesla may stop taking orders for certain models as the order backlog grows and delivery times continue to stretch. At present, Tesla’s US official website shows that the Model 3 long-range version is now grayed out, and consumers cannot choose to order. Tesla added that the Model 3 Long Range will be “re-orderable in 2023.” At the same time, Tesla Canada’s official website has also removed the Model 3 long-range version.
The Model 3 Long Range is one of Tesla’s most popular vehicles. According to Musk’s warning, Tesla’s current backlog of orders for the Model 3 long-range version is so large that it doesn’t make sense to accept new orders. Tesla’s US official website also no longer shows the price of the Model 3 long-range version, which was previously priced at $57,990. When Tesla reopens pre-orders, the price of the Model 3 Long Range may be adjusted.
The Model 3 Long Range may be one of the few EVs eligible for the new EV tax credit. But under the new policy, the car must cost less than $55,000 to qualify for the subsidy.
