Tesla made a mistake in shutting down production of the previous version as the production ramp of the new version is having problems.

[{"selector":"#anim-0ed9e200-a55f-4091-8837-a0897e6d6cf7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0820f3b5-25e5-4e73-bcd1-7feb7fc3d088","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e4be318-d001-423a-a495-8ad024ed0709","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The automaker didn’t produce the Model X for about eight months as it refreshed both the Model S and Model X programs

[{"selector":"#anim-60b027af-8195-4426-bc71-a7cba9fd58e3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e5838a4-c843-4298-91f3-6965603b0bf6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aeb89209-2c05-44ab-867d-5ce483505173","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

During that time companyfocused on Model S production first.

[{"selector":"#anim-ae4ae8b5-5f2f-45ec-9538-d128a591c725 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b86a1ad-b6c6-4ab1-8252-7a0cda977aab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cbf75d08-438a-4ee3-97a8-ea2445856b39","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The automaker kept taking orders for the new Model X, also known as Palladium

[{"selector":"#anim-8ad2e929-89d9-49df-8524-02d734c7eb62 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.240568296631277%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-196a10c9-c13d-47db-8ce5-6a2a931d836a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b827c3ee-0b7a-4b8b-b20d-6470cd766447","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But Tesla already had a backlog of orders for the Model X before the refresh was unveiled.

[{"selector":"#anim-d8864a2a-50c2-4af5-93bd-fc23c4f88f5d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.319962573217424%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae8e6b4e-a2ea-4dba-91db-385ad582aa37","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-68923a2c-6a6b-415b-a95b-fd7841f23776","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The result is many people who placed Model X orders over a year ago are still months away from getting their cars.

Tesla is having issues with the Model X production ramp and that the automaker shouldn’t have stopped production of the old version
