Tesla announced that it won\u2019t be producing Model S and Model X vehicles in right-hand-drive configuration any longer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many Tesla Model S and Model X buyers in right-hand-drive markets woke up to a bad surprise today.<\/p>\n

Tesla told them that they either canceled their orders or have to switch it to a left-hand-drive version.<\/p>\n

Some of them had been waiting for years since the design refresh in 2021 for their cars, but Tesla has decided to cancel the production of Model S and Model X vehicles in right-hand-drive.<\/p>\n

We recently reported on how Tesla inexplicably stopped taking orders for Model S and Model X<\/a> in several right-hand-drive markets, like Australia, Singapore, and Thailand.<\/p>\n

Now Tesla has informed buyers in those markets that their orders have been canceled. The company wrote in an email:<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In some markets, like in the UK, Tesla is still selling Model S and Model X vehicles, but it is not accepting new orders and instead, the company is making left-hand-drive units available as new inventory vehicles.<\/p>\n

The automaker wrote on its website:<\/p>\n

\n

Available in the United Kingdom as Left-Hand Drive. Take delivery by June 30th, 2023, to receive 3 years of free Supercharging.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Based on Tesla\u2019s website, many units are already in the UK ready for delivery, according to the website.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

This is a surprising move from Tesla. Considering the vehicles hadn\u2019t been available in those markets for years, I would have thought that there would be significant pent-up demand.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was only significant in the UK and Tesla had a lot inventory of LHD Model S and Model X vehicles at the end of last quarter, so it decided to send those to the UK instead.<\/p>\n

This might explain this move.<\/p>\n
