Tesla (TSLA, Financial) has hit a snag in its plans to roll out a more affordable version of the Model Y. According to insiders, the automaker's global production timeline is now set back by several months from its original schedule. While Tesla had anticipated commencing production sooner, the updated projections now suggest a start from the third quarter through early next year.
This delay impacts the manufacturing of the lower-cost Model Y, which is planned to start in the United States. The adjust in schedule reflects the challenges and complexities involved in scaling the production of Tesla's budget-friendly electric vehicle.
Investors and industry observers will be closely watching Tesla's next moves as the company navigates this setback while continuing to focus on expanding its market presence with more accessible electric vehicle options.
