Musk said that the problem Tesla currently has isn't demand, because there's plenty of that – the problem is producing enough cars to meet the demand.
"Demand is exceeding production to a ridiculous degree," said Musk. "We’re actually probably gonna...just stop taking orders for anything beyond some period of time because some of the timing is like a year away."

Tesla has also been steadily increasing the prices of its cars. Despite that, the company had a record quarter, having delivered 310,048 vehicles in Q1 2022, while struggling with supply chain issues and factory shutdowns.
Musk, however, said that the demand exceeded production before the supply chain issues came along. “I’m confident that we can sell all the cars we can make,” he said.
