Tesla Model Y, Model 3 Delivery Time SPEEDS Up

As per a news story by Electrek, the website configurator of Tesla has a new update, wherein it shows a faster estimated delivery time for both the Model 3 and Model Y when it comes with the FSD feature.

That said, Tesla decided to make the waiting time of its customers significantly faster when they decided to spend more on it by adding the FSD capability, which costs $12,000.

Tesla Model Y Delivery Time

It is worth noting that the delivery time for the Tesla Model Y significantly speeds up the delivery time as shown in the website configuration of the EV maker.

The estimated delivery time for the Tesla Model Y goes down to two months or in May 2022 from the six months of a waiting period of up to September 2022, if you are going to reserve the EV today.

As such, the Model Y delivery time speeds up by four months by simply adding the FSD feature.

The Model Y Long Range now carries a price tag of $54,940. But to lessen the waiting time from Sept. to May, Tesla customers have to spend around $67,000 in total.

Tesla Model 3 Waiting Time Down to One Month

On the other hand, the Tesla Model 3 also has a faster delivery time when the full self-driving option is added. The waiting time for the EV speeds up to April 2022 when including the FSD Beta from the estimated date of May 2022 without it.

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range currently sells to the tune of $44,940. Thus, to get it a month earlier, it should cost about $59,000 due to the additional FSD option.

Tesla Model X, Model S: How About Them?

Electrek noted in the same report that both the Tesla Model S and the Tesla Model X did not change their delivery time estimates when the FSD capabilities were added on the configuration website.

Therefore, the latest update in delivery estimates exclusively applies to both the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y.
