Tesla delayed delivery of some Model S and Model X cars until March 2023.
A look at the automaker’s online configurator reveals that those in the market for the entry-level Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive variant of the Model S with the base 19-inch wheels will need to wait until 2023 to take delivery. Interestingly, Tesla’s configurator pre-loads the Model S with the $4,500 21-inch Arachnid wheels and if customers opt for these wheels, the delivery window is moved forward to November 2022.

ElectrekTesla will prioritize the delivery and delivery of high-spec Model S models, so shoppers may also be able to push their delivery date forward to November 2022. The flagship Model S Plaid can actually be ordered in December 2021.
This is also true of the Tesla Model X Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive. Deliveries have been pushed back from March 2023. With deliveries scheduled for August 2022, the Model X Plaid flagship is still some distance from reaching customers.
While the Model S and Model X were once the only two vehicles being produced by Tesla, they now play a far less important role in the brand’s range with the Model 3 and Model Y now available. For the Model S, Model X, and Model 3 respectively, 238,882 vehicles were produced by Tesla in its third quarter.
