Tesla has inexplicably decided to stop taking orders for the Model S and Model X orders in several of right-hand drive markets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The refreshed Model S and Model X vehicles are just starting to reach markets far from North America and yet, Tesla appears to have decided to stop taking orders in many of them.<\/p>\n

Over the last few days, Tesla has shut down the online configurator for the Model S and Model X in Australia, Thailand, Singapore and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

The automaker has not explained why.<\/p>\n

These markets have in common that they are all right-hand-drive markets and in Asia-Pacific, but it\u2019s not clear why they would be affected.<\/p>\n

Tesla has keep orders opened in the UK, but it still only displays US specs for the two flagship vehicles.<\/p>\n

We recently reported that Tesla is sitting on an abnormally high number of Model X vehicles in inventory <\/a>in the US. However, it wouldn\u2019t have an impact on these markets since these are left-hand-drive Model X vehicles.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t know for a fact why Tesla is stopping orders in those markets, but I might have an idea.<\/p>\n

Tesla has dropped prices in Model S and Model X vehicles significantly in the US and other markets since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

By shutting down the online configurations in those markets, Tesla is removing pricing. <\/p>\n

With long transit times for those models in these Asia-Pacific markets, it could help deliver the vehicles already on order with higher prices that came before the significant price drops in the US.<\/p>\n
