Richard Symons also hypothesising that the reduction in supply for SR Model 3 could be down to imminent Model Y deliveries
speculation and more speculation
That’s left hand drive though isn’t it? Pretty sure RHD isn’t until next year?Not a rumour.
Available in September in Europe.
Very tempted.
Yes. Europe.That’s left hand drive though isn’t it? Pretty sure RHD isn’t until next year?
My friend who has just committed to a BMW iX3 is going to be mightily cheesed off if you’re right.
Sorry, I didn’t look at your flagYes. Europe.
We drive on the correct side.
UK RHD versions aren't confirmed, but assume later in 2022.
I think the change in rumour is being fuelled by RHD model y being manufactured in China.Thought I read somewhere that UK-spec Model Y would be made at Giga Berlin only?
It was the same for all European cars Model Y will not be exported to Europe, only available from German GigafactoryThought I read somewhere that UK-spec Model Y would be made at Giga Berlin only?
Yes you're right! -I thought Tesla were making Model Y in RHD for HK? Thus it makes sense to make more for the UK or other markets if they are doing a production run.

'screwed' how so? We're a much smaller market with a different configurationAvailable in September in Europe but not the UK.
UK gets screwed again...
Think The Who did a song about that.......
Smaller than S.Korea?? HK?'screwed' how so? We're a much smaller market with a different configuration
.......we're last to get the Model Y.'screwed' how so? We're a much smaller market with a different configuration
Hope that's not true, the 4680 cells, structural battery pack, ungraded paint shop (maybe new colours), German-made, possible slightly different European spec, are just a few of the reasons I want a Model Y, take all that away and I'm not so keen.Given the UK is no longer in the EU I would pretty much expect that RHD cars could be made in China and imported to UK at very low import tariff ... as long as they are 'finished' in the UK, e.g. by gluing on a UK flag.
It actually wouldn't make sense to make RHD in Berlin.
Plus didn't UK join (or apply to join) CPTPP which would include several RHD regions and countries like Japan.
I think it will still be pretty competitive with the alternatives that are out there for a while to come. If I was in the market for a hatchback EV right now I’d very happy with a MIC Y.Hope that's not true, the 4680 cells, structural battery pack, ungraded paint shop (maybe new colours), German-made, possible slightly different European spec, are just a few of the reasons I want a Model Y, take all that away and I'm not so keen.
