They were also in a hurry to get the 11,088 CNY subsidy .
The scale of the consumer backlash is not known, but at least several large cities were mentioned in the reports, including Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Xi'an. This triggered a new wave of buyers, which appears to be big enough to already make a difference. The company's website now indicates a slightly longer delivery time of the two Model Y versions - 2-5 weeks instead of 1-4 weeks previously.
