Tesla is facing tightening supplies of its best-selling Model Y on both sides of the Pacific. U.S. dealership listings showed virtually no new inventory within a 200-mile radius of Austin, Texas, and only a single vehicle near Los Angeles, according to third-party checks of the company’s website. The scarcity comes as buyers rush to secure deliveries before a $7,500 federal electric-vehicle tax credit sunsets on Sept. 30, fueling a late-summer order surge. In China, the newly launched six-seat Model Y L has sold out of September production slots, with Tesla’s configurator now quoting October delivery for fresh orders. Industry trackers estimate the variant drew tens of thousands of reservations within days of its August debut, underlining robust demand in the world’s largest EV market. The supply squeeze has prompted speculation that Tesla will lift Model Y prices to protect margins, although the company has not confirmed any adjustment. Tight inventory ahead of the year’s final quarter suggests Tesla may have limited flexibility to satisfy further demand spikes without additional factory output or price changes.
