Tesla doesn't publish a backlog in weeks or units for the Model Y. What you can measure is the delivery window on its order page, and those windows have been stretching. Reports from the last few weeks put them roughly like this:
- Model Y Premium RWD and AWD, and Performance: October to November 2026, the shortest waits.
- Base Model Y RWD and AWD: December 2026 to January 2027.
- Model Y L (six-seat): January to March 2027 for Launch Series, with some new orders showing into April 2027.
In Tesla's Q3 2026 update, it said it ended the quarter with its largest passenger-vehicle backlog in four years, but gave no number. It also cited battery supply as a limit on car sales. On October 22 it raised Model Y financing to 2.49% APR, its fourth rate increase since August, which fits a backlog that is growing. Delivery windows are estimates and change weekly, so check the order page for your exact configuration. Owners on forums report waits from about three to six months, depending on the trim and country.
