- Tesla’s Model Y, the company’s highly anticipated crossover version of the Model 3, may start shipping to early reservation holders as soon as this week.
- Tesla has a bad history of releasing news cars months, if not years, behind schedule. The Model Y, therefore, may represent the first car Tesla has ever shipped on time.
- As Tesla sales reached new heights in 2019 thanks to the popularity of the Model 3, the Model Y may very well see Tesla set new records for sales and revenue in 2020.

What’s always been fascinating about Tesla is that a lot of the company’s problems haven’t stemmed from a lack of demand, but rather a lack of supply. Whereas most automotive companies work diligently to boost sales and overall interest, Tesla has always struggled with boosting production to a sufficient level to meet overwhelming demand.
What’s more, every car Tesla has ever released has been subject to significant delays. From the original Roadster to the Model 3, Tesla has a bad habit of announcing production deadlines and release dates that it simply can’t meet. Model X deliveries, for example, were initially expected to begin in early 2014. A myriad of production issues, however, pushed that date all the way back to September of 2014, representing a nearly two-year delay.
