Tesla to cease RHD production

[Onshore]

News overnight that Tesla is ceasing RHD production and withdrawing from RHD markets globally.

Lots of questions: Will they retain the super chargers, and for how long? What EV brand will we switch to? Our cars now collectors items? Maybe they will switch to a centre drive setup like the McLaren F1? I know Muskie has one in his collection.

I have to agree this is the right move. It’s just not worth it for Tesla. We are simply not worthy for these cars. It’s a shame, guess Toyota was right about hydrogen filled cars, that’s my next purchase.

 

[Onshore]

Yes hydrogen definitely worth consideration

Yes makes sense. Sweden did this, apparently without too much chaos.

Would give us a wider choice of vehicles, including Teslas.

Was this a Voltswagen press release?

What's next? The US moves to metric?

What? You didn't hear?

Anyway, I understand they're dropping RHD because they are releasing a fully-functional, error free FSD update, so any steering wheel will then be redundant. Retaining LHD is simply to provide a legacy capability - for now.

Mind you if you ordered a Model S or X in January, it's not much of a joke.

The U.S.A. should make a deal with the rest of the world. Make English the official international language, and in exchange the U.S.A. will officially switch to the metric system and encourage any other holdouts to as well. It's past time for the U.S. to switch to metric and past time for an international language to be made official (so we can finally have an international standard for human communication). It's a big ask to convert the entire U.S. to metric and make all the entitled brats here get comfortable with it, and many things like programming languages are already primarily geared towards English, so seems like a reasonable deal to me.

But English isn't even the official language of the USA?

Well it convinced CNBC

Thought it was Spanish?

Its being introduced gradually - just trucks and buses first.

I heard that they are making the Indian model the standard - they drive in the middle so it eliminates the manufacturing issues.
