The wait will soon be over! The first Tesla Model 3 Highland, which was initially unveiled for the European and Chinese markets on September 1, 2023, will most likely arrive in Europe soon. Attentive observers could see in recent days how a ship with new Tesla Model 3 "Highland "l was loaded. The ship, named "Christal Ray", left the port of Shanghai on Sunday, September 17. It is now heading for the Suez Canal - a clear sign that the cargo is destined for the European market.
The vehicles are expected to arrive in Europe in mid-to-late October, which coincides perfectly with the start of the fourth quarter. Tesla will do everything it can to push delivery numbers up in the fourth quarter. So it is quite possible that in the near future we will see more ships with Tesla Model 3 Highland in Europe in the near future. Because in the past, several ships often arrived in Europe at short intervals to meet the high demand.
If we take a look at the current delivery windows for new orders, the delivery period for the Standard variant is indicated from October to November, while the Long Range model is expected to be delivered in the period November to December. For orders in China, the delivery period is not yet specified as precisely; Q4 is given as the delivery period there. Interestingly, the new Model 3 is not yet available for order in the USA, contrary to original expectations. This could indicate that Tesla has not yet completed its production changeover at the Gigafactory Freemont.
