    Just not making them at all anymore. The few countries that are RHD aren’t big enough markets for them to bother making the S and X for them anymore. We here in AUS are stuck with just the 3 and Y now, and any existing S and X models.

    • It just doesn’t make sense not to make them when it literally was the same process to make a RHD as a LHD vehicle. It doesn’t cost extra money or use extra parts. It’s just “oh this part goes on this side instead of this side.”

      If they stopped making them entirely, it’s more than likely out of spite than any other reason.

        I dunno, there’s retooling a factory as well as team training for QC, and surely some parts would differ as it would be mirrored.
