LOL. Definitely not financially based.

Fucking clowns.

They’re not even going sell more than a hundred per year now are they? Guess the same will apply to the Cybertruck and Roadster too.

Depreciation is really bad on our model S and X. What’s can we do?

Hold my beer.

Mechanical complexity? It’s an electric car where everything is on a tv screen. It’s probably the easiest type of car to swap on sale, it’s basically just a steering column, headlight blocks and maybe even some wipers. Or do as Renault do and don’t bother changing them

They’re just facelifts anyway; since they were available in RHD previously, where’s the complexity?

I’m guessing the RHD markets just aren’t worth catering to. Even if you have it engineered its more parts to make and stock and accommodate on the production line, plus keep available as spares. S and X are only made in Fremont now and even in the states it’s in tiny volumes compared to 3/Y.

That’s a lot of cancelled orders!

Who is going to dump £100k on a left hand drive car with well reputed build quality issues, from a company run by a complete fucking bellend?

Especially not when the Taycan exists.

3 years free unlimited charging - maybe an Uber driver can make it work?

I know you're not a fan of Linus Sebastian Beany but he has had battery problems with his Taycan and it's been off the road for a month or something, not great PR for Porsche build quality or service.

So.... iPace anyone?

Hyundia Ioniq 5 (or 6 if you're feeling daring, style wise) surely?

I've driven a 5, they're quite nice. If I didn't have Audi GT money that'd be my pick.

Not to imply that my EV budget is anything more than Tamiya scale!
