Obviously this wouldn’t be my first choice but if having a LH drive CT is the only way to own one then so be it.
The bad news is Tesla has stopped selling RH drive MS & MX here in the U.K. and have cancelled all orders for these models, however the good news is they are officially selling LH Drive MS & MX models here, apparently there’s a boat in Southampton with these models on board and are ready for immediate delivery.
If they are willing to sell these LH drive models here then I can’t see why they couldn’t sell us a LH drive CT If a RH model isn’t going to be available now or in the future.

If all goes according to plan, left or right hand drive won't make much of a difference once FSD is operational and approved.

After all, it is envisaged cars will be delivered without steering wheels at all.

the gating item wouldn’t be only the LH/RH drive distinction

there are several other substantive gating items from compliance and distribution

With Drive by Wire it should be easier than ever to convert from Left to Right Hand Drive.

You'll pulling the steering wheel off and handing it to your kids to play with as you bask in FSD glory.

It will be interesting to see how different these LH drive MS & MX are compared to the original U.K. spec models, hopefully someone will do a back to back comparison.

Not a CYBRTRK :-(
I think demand in Australia alone would be enough to warrant a RHD variant, even without a steer-by-wire system.

It should have had a central driving position which would make it a 6 seater.
