Tesla deliveries have been pushed all the way to June 2027 for new Model 3 orders, and the same long wait is hitting Model Y L buyers.
Drive Tesla reported that customers ordering the base Model 3 are now looking at April through June 2027 delivery windows. This Tesla delivery delay 2027 lines up with what I have been seeing across both the US and Canada.
Why the wait is so long
Demand is simply exploding. Gas prices keep people looking for cheaper-to-run cars, full self-driving hype is growing, and the Roadster plus Cybercab excitement is pulling in new buyers. That combination creates Tesla high demand 2026 that shows no sign of slowing. The result is a Model 3 delivery date 2027 and a Model Y L order delay stretching into next year.
What this means for buyers
If you are already in line, your date just got moved. For anyone still thinking about ordering, the timeline is now very clear. I have said for months that I do not expect meaningful price cuts or incentives until at least Q2 or Q3 of next year. The current backlog makes a quick "when to buy Tesla deal" scenario unlikely.
