The estimated Tesla global electric car order backlog is a key indicator of the current market situation and Tesla’s price changes. According to Troy Teslike, an invaluable source for Tesla stats and forecasts, the estimated global order backlog as of March 16, 2023, was roughly 103,000, which is about 3,000 units less than two weeks ago. This number corresponds to about 29 days of manufacturing capacity (down one day).
However, the most important thing to note is that the situation changes quite noticeably in some markets. In the United States, the estimated order backlog has decreased from 68,748 (worth some 42 days of waiting) to 53,731 (and 36 days) in two weeks. This could be the reason why Tesla recently reduced its electric car prices in the United States.
In Europe, the estimated order backlog increased from just over 14,000 units to almost 28,000. This is after the queue became very short. It will be a very interesting (and challenging) time both for Tesla and other manufacturers, as well as customers, who are finally seeing some good news – lower prices.
In Canada, the estimated order backlog decreased from 2,266 (29 days) to 1,955 (25 days) in two weeks. In China, the estimated order backlog decreased from 10,715 (16 days) to 10,541 (15 days) in two weeks. In other markets, the estimated order backlog decreased from 8,245 (44 days) to 7,813 (41 days) in two weeks.
Overall, the estimated global order backlog decreased by 1 day in two weeks to 29 days. This could be a potential trigger for Tesla to reduce its electric car prices in order to attract more orders and have some healthy buffer. It will be interesting to see how this affects the market and Tesla’s price changes in the future.
