Tesla cancels all right-hand drive Model S, Model X orders

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/05/tesla-axes-right-hand-drive-models-s-and-x-offers-customers-refunds/

quote:

Tesla is no longer making a right-hand drive version of its Model S and Model X electric vehicles. The decision means that customers in countries that drive on the other side of the road like the UK have had orders cancelled, and potential buyers are being told to buy a different model, a car from inventory, or try a left-hand drive version.

About 30 percent of the world's nations drive on the left side of the road, known confusingly as right-hand drive, as the driver's seat is on the right side of the car. The UK is probably the best-known right-hand drive country, along with most of its former colonies. While most of these are small countries, the list also includes highly populous countries like Japan, Indonesia, and India.

Ars was contacted by a reader from New Zealand who ordered a right-hand drive Model X SUV almost three years ago because Tesla reached out to him yesterday to cancel his order:

"Due to recent changes to the vehicle program, Model X will not be available in Right Hand Drive. Unfortunately this means your order is unable to be fulfilled and will be cancelled. You will receive a full refund for any payments made. We understand that this may be disappointing news to receive and want to apologise for any inconvenience caused."

Tesla offered our reader a NZD$3,200 credit toward a Model 3 or Model Y, although only if they purchase that new Tesla before October.

Although Tesla has no press office with which to confirm this news, the British publication Autocar confirms the cancellation of the right-hand drive versions. Customers with cancelled orders in the UK are being offered a 2,000 pound credit toward a Model 3 or Model Y. It says that "a representative" for Tesla told it that dropping right-hand drive production was done for quality-control reasons.

As we've noted several times in the past, demand for the Models S and X is evaporating as the models are extremely long in the tooth and have been eclipsed by new models from startups like Rivian and Lucid as well as established OEMs like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi.

In 2022 Tesla built 71,777 Models S and X but was only able to sell 66,705. That trend looks to be exacerbated this year; in Q1 2023 it built 19,437 Models S and X, yet almost half of these remain unsold.

There has been rumors for a long time that Tesla's books are absolute bullshit and there is currently a lawsuit about Elon's compensation.

Still no Roadster, Panasonic is having battery production problems, the rug is being pulled out on Tesla in China, competitors are catching up, if the board has say concrete evidence that the Cybertruck and FSD are complete bullshit (lol), because of Elon Tesla has a rapidly aging, poorly built successful car platform and a brand that is now largely toxic because of him.

Yeah, Elon could be forced out.

The problem with Elon is that he just cant shut up, like all other billionaires. And than he bought twitter so he can further amplify his awful opinions

I think he wanted to be a celebrity rich man like Steve Jobs, but Steve didint spend his time on social networks spilling hateful bullshit all day long and trying to offend a large part of his consumer base

edit: vvvvvvvvvv nice, that means catturd and Ian Miles Cheung are still in control of twitter

Yeah, Elon could be forced out.

the problem with forcing out Elon is that Tesla really only has one remotely valuable asset, which is Elons deranged cult. without a horde of overpaid computer touchers willing to radically overpay for Teslas lovely cars - and, much more importantly, its stock - the company is totally worthless.

Elon probably wants to leave though, both to cash out before the inevitable Tesla crash craters his net worth and so that he can escape with his myth intact. its not his fault Tesla failed, it was the lovely CEO that replaced him!

if you're part of an extremely small minority, you probably don't want attention drawn to the fact that you possess more wealth than the entire population of most countries, lest that population figure out the odds.
