Tesla Mag reports that Tesla is canceling the delivery of Tesla Model Y Performance vehicles at the Tesla factory in Grünheide at short notice. Tesla Mag refers to postings in the “Forum of Tesla drivers and friends”.
In this forum, a user writes that deliveries of the Model Y Performance have been stopped: “The reason is a safety-related defect, which, according to initial findings, can probably not be remedied with a software update.” Another forum user replied to this posting as follows: “I’m there too included. get call. The vehicle is in the delivery center and cannot be delivered due to a significant defect in the drive unit. Delivery will be postponed indefinitely!”. Other users agree, for whom the delivery date was also canceled.

Tesla apparently informs the affected customers by phone call of the postponement of the delivery date. Some say that the delivery has been postponed indefinitely, some say July 2023, and some of the Tesla app also mentions a delivery date between August and October 2022.
Tesla does not give the exact reason for the delivery stop, but it seems to be a problem with the “Drive Unit”. Tesla Mag suspects that it could be a specific problem with the electric motor installed in the rear. That’s why there had already been a recall in China.
It is currently unclear whether the Model Y Long Range is also affected by the delivery stop. So far, however, there is no evidence of this.
