According to the information on Tesla's US official website, Tesla's delivery in North America is as long as several months and a year. Take the Model Y model as an example, its expected delivery time is from January to April 2023. Model X is expected to be delivered from May to June 2023, with delivery time of up to one year.

Officials have not yet responded to the reasons for the price increase. Or it is related to the rising cost of raw materials for electric vehicles. Tesla CEO Musk had previously tweeted that Tesla and SapceX were facing huge inflationary pressures in raw materials and logistics, saying that the situation in Russia and Ukraine had caused commodity prices to soar to their highest level since 2008.

It is worth noting that: today, the topic of the price increase of the whole department of Tesla rushed into the hot search of Weibo. According to foreign media reports, Tesla may raise prices across the line. However, at present, according to the information on Tesla's Chinese official website, the price of Tesla model has not yet been adjusted. Although it is not known whether Tesla's Chinese market will raise the price this time, but judging from the delivery time of Tesla's Chinese market, the current delivery cycle of each version of Model Y ranges from 10 weeks to 20 weeks, and the delivery cycle of each version of Model 3 ranges from 16 weeks to 24 weeks, of which the delivery cycle of Model 3 rear wheel drive version is as long as 20 to 24 weeks. Tesla Musk has made it clear that the Tesla factory has been undercapacity for several consecutive quarters amid a shortage of components and semiconductor chips, and this is expected to last for another year. "if consumers order cars now, they may need to be prepared to wait a year."

Earlier, due to the epidemic in Shanghai, Tesla's Shanghai factory stopped production many times. Although Tesla's Shanghai factory resumed work and production on April 19th, Tesla also needs to go through a production climbing period in the short term, and there is also a certain lag in production. According to relevant data, Tesla sold only 1512 vehicles in April, down 94.15% from the same period last year and 97.70% from the previous month. Tesla sold 32165 vehicles wholesale in China in May, including 22340 for export and 9825 for domestic retail. In addition, Tesla sold a total of 215851 vehicles in China from January to May 2022.

At present, the global automobile industry is suffering from the impact of the epidemic and the supply chain crisis, but Tesla's financial data have not been affected. According to Tesla's recent financial report for the first quarter of 2022, Tesla's total revenue in the first quarter was $18.756 billion (120.2 billion yuan), up 81 percent from a year earlier. The net profit attributable to shareholders was $3.318 billion (about 21.28 billion yuan), an increase of 658% over the same period last year, with a gross profit margin of 32.9%.

Tesla's total car production in the first quarter was 305407, up 69 percent from 180338 in the same period last year, and total car delivery was 310048, up 68 percent from 184877 in the same period last year. In terms of automobile production, Tesla has said that he plans to expand its manufacturing capacity as soon as possible. It is expected that in the next few years, car delivery will achieve an average annual growth rate of 50%, and the growth rate will depend on equipment capacity, operational efficiency, and the capacity and stability of the supply chain. However, under the background of the current shortage of the supply chain, Tesla will also face great challenges.
