When I put down a deposit on my Model S, I think there were dates for the USA and Canada and possibly for Europe , but rest of the world was far less clear. I’m not sure there was a guarantee that Tesla would come to Australia at all!
Part of the reason for putting down a deposit was to convince Tesla that there was demand here. what I am certain about is that no one expected that Tesla would roll out Superchargers in Australia in 2012.
Almost seems like a lifetime ago.

Fair Dinkum Tesla
And to you and the handful of diehards that made the effort to encourage Tesla all those years ago I will always be grateful.
In my OPINION, Tesla will not manufacture cars in UK, the combine worldwide RHD market is not big enough for that and they seem to able to retool between LHD/RHD manufacturing pretty quickly.
Again, in my opinion, the land scouting that Tesla are doing in UK is for their energy business. In the last few weeks, Tesla have received the "permissions" to be an energy supplier in the UK. I think the land scouting is for a "Hornsdale" type battery farm.
Read another article that it was a private import by a German rental company
Tend to agree.
Thailand seems to be becoming the RHD country of choice for many manufacturers - closer to Japan, HK and India, not too far from Oceania

If you want a S3XY finish you need to buy an S, 3 and X (like we have) and then it makes the Y all more rewarding
Model Y price drop
Tesla reduces Model Y prices, now starts below $50,000 - Electrek
Suggests lack of demand in North America

Throughout Tesla's history they have always priced their cars in line with the cost of production.
This is in line with their stated Mission to "Accelerate the advent of sustainable transport."
Whilst Tesla is a profit making business that is only part of the companies focus which differs from many others where profitability or Shareholder value outweighs almost any other objective.
This is what Tesla short sellers always fail to grasp at their great and increasing risk and loss.
I don't know if part of the price reduction is derived from a desire to increase demand, it may well be, but we can be confident that it is not the sole motivation of the move.

All of those things could also suggest that tesla can now manufacture the car faster and more efficiently than planned

Which means if supply is meeting demand in North America, they will supply to overseas markets sooner
