According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla is delaying Model Y Performance deliveries for many Canadian customers, pushing timelines from March to late spring or even July (source: Drive Tesla Canada, Jan 19, 2026). This development underscores ongoing supply chain challenges, many of which are tied to the advanced AI-driven production and logistics systems that Tesla relies on.
