Yeah it’s a bit of an insulting ‘joke’ on folks that have been patiently waiting for two years or more for RHD variants. There’s lots of very disgruntled Tesla people. They could have handled this far better - but then again Tesla customer services is a law unto itself.

When I had my Lancia Integrale- only ever built in LHD form- my other treasured possession was a grabbing stick that had a pink flamingo head, essential for presenting my pass to automatic barriers in secure car parks. Without it, my only alternative was to reverse in.

They can't be serious

Think that’s quite insulting to those who were ‘duped’ with Tesla marketing. After nearly 3yrs with Tesla I will not be sad to say goodbye, it was an experience which I can say I had but quite happy to move on. Am REALLY glad I was not one of those caught up on the wrong side of the retail price drop or the shenanigans of only LHD being sold.

They might have just recorded record sales, but I firmly agree with you.

Its like being in a decent restaurant where you have booked a nice table, then being told you are being moved to a worse table and that the menu has been changed.

You may finish that meal.....but you won't go back and you will tell family and friends not to visit.

I seriously thought this was a joke. I mean IT IS a joke but… REALLY? Pretty laughable move from Tesla IMO
