During those eight months, the automaker kept taking orders for the new Model X, also known as Palladium, after the refreshed version was unveiled in January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>But Tesla already had a backlog of orders for the Model X before the refresh was unveiled. The result is many people who placed Model X orders over a year ago are still months away from getting their cars and are often facing further delays. <\/p>\n<p>A few months ago, we reported on <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2021\/10\/20\/tesla-expects-more-clarity-on-model-x-next-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tesla giving Model X buyers some more clarity with better delivery windows<\/a>. However, many buyers are now reporting that Tesla has issued a new vague explanation of delays on many of these delivery windows. Several buyers who are a year into their Model X orders told <em>Electrek<\/em> today that Tesla updated delivery windows into Q2 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In a series of tweets this week, CEO Elon Musk admitted that Tesla is having issues with the Model X production ramp and that the automaker shouldn\u2019t have stopped production of the old version:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>We dropped the ball badly regarding new Model X production ramp and still haven\u2019t fully recovered. It was idiotic to stop production of old Model X in Dec 2020 when there was still plenty of demand!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The CEO added that the current bottleneck is with the interior trim:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Model X is an extremely difficult car to build. Most complex passenger car ever. Limiting factor is interior trim.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For new orders being placed now, Tesla expects delivery of the Plaid tri-motor version of the Model X in October 2022 and the dual-motor version in January 2023  \u2014 meaning the electric SUV is basically sold out for the year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCcOIZzJgLCyMPILY7-1Vsdg?sub_confirmation=1\">Subscribe to Electrek on YouTube for exclusive videos<\/a> and subscribe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrek.co\/guides\/electrek-podcast\">podcast<\/a>.<!-- youtube embed --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Recent Videos\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gFC9vek_1Xo?playlist=7xVC2IOWNyo,rmbGsNiGrYo,vYsDQxnnBr4,dtTtANwfvfg,wbu66ENKuqY,5cFTlx68itk,YbtwCUJZUqY,L5W_5Ji05ik,wUMavPh1yFY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla is delaying more Model X orders as Elon Musk admits that Tesla made a mistake in shutting down production of the previous version as the production ramp of the new version is having problems.
