What the record establishes
Reuters reported on October 15, 2026 that Tesla first showed the prototype in 2017 and originally expected deliveries in 2020. Its report described another unveiling planned for that day. That supports a missed original window; it does not establish a new customer delivery date.
What counts as delivery?
Our test is a production vehicle handed to a customer. A prototype, reservation page, revised specification or demonstration can be meaningful progress, but each answers a different question. Keeping those milestones separate prevents a product reveal from quietly becoming the finish line.
What this tracker does not measure
This is a schedule comparison, not a verdict on whether the car will work or whether buyers should want it. It does not assign a precise number of late days to a year-only target. It also avoids treating every reported specification as independently tested performance.
What would change the status?
A documented customer handover would add a delivery milestone. A new company target would be recorded alongside the old one, not overwrite it. A withdrawal of the program would be a different outcome again. Each change needs a dated source.
Why it matters
The distinction matters for readers trying to interpret the next announcement. Ask which gate was crossed: demonstration, production readiness, first delivery, or sustained output. The story becomes easier to follow when the goalposts stay visible.
