According to the Financial Associated Press (Shanghai editor Zhao Hao), Tesmanian, a website focusing on Tesla and SpaceX, reported that the demand for Model 3 in Europe is amazing, and the delivery time of multiple models has reached a new high.
According to Tesla's official German website, the delivery date of the Rear-Wheel Drive Edition (RWD) with 18-inch power wheels as the base model of the Model 3 is now displayed as "no earlier than November 2022." This means that if residents of the European region now place an order for the model, they will have to wait at least nine months, and the popularity in Europe is self-evident.

If European consumers want a rear-wheel-drive Model 3 with 19-inch sport wheels, they can bring the delivery date up to August, but the corresponding price will be higher than the base model. In addition, if European consumers choose a color other than pearl white (multi-coated), the delivery time can also be shortened by two months.

However, all new orders for the dual-motor all-wheel drive Model 3 high-performance version in different colors will have to wait for shipments after May this year. Overall, Sales of Tesla's Model 3 across the range of Europe are very strong, and the only constraint preventing its faster growth is the company's ability to build vehicles.
On a fourth-quarter 2021 earnings call last month, Musk said the Berlin plant and the U.S. Texas plant are both waiting for approval from government agencies to start production, and the Texas plant appears to be closer to production start-up than the Berlin plant.
