The 2022 Tesla Model Y was available to order briefly, as the company tested its online configurator ahead of the electric car’s local launch.

Just one person successfully ordered their Model Y, according to The Driven, before a representative from Tesla called to let them know their order would be cancelled and fully refunded.

While pricing has yet to be confirmed for the new crossover, the configurator showed the Model Y was priced from $65,500 before on-road costs for the single-motor variant, or $90,900 plus on-roads for the dual-motor Performance variant.

However, given the Model Y was expected to launch in Australia in late 2021, it’s likely these were early prices, set prior to when worldwide increases were implemented in March 2022.

Last week, Chasing Cars reported Australian pricing for the Model Y would start from $67,990 plus on-road costs, while the Model Y Performance would cost $98,172 before on-road costs. This has, however, not been officially confirmed by the manufacturer.

With Tesla’s Shanghai plant facing prolonged shutdowns, it’s unclear how long Australian customers will have to wait for the Model Y to go on sale.
