Tesla stops taking Model S/X orders in Europe

9 months ago

Tesla has stopped taking new orders for Model S and Model X in Europe.
This follows a similar pause after the 2021 refresh, which lasted until August 2022.
The latest minor refresh was unveiled in June, but orders stopped just over a month later.
Possible reasons include supply issues, reduced production capacity, and declining demand.
Tesla currently quotes a 2-month wait time for Model S orders in California.
Low registration numbers in Europe (e.g., 58 Model S and 59 Model X in Germany in H1) may make homologation unviable.
Tesla might prioritize North American demand before reopening European orders.
Price uncertainty due to new US tariffs on Japanese battery cells could also be a factor.
