I hope you're not in marketing, reduce your market by 20% then wonder why you have less demand.If demand is slowing, that would reinforce that the decision to knife those products here was the correct one.

Maybe range and/or rampant acceleration buyers are all mostly taken and tesla need to start looking at what else may interest buyersInteresting specs.
20% less range than the regular Model S, but still 20% more than the base Model 3 in the US.
Still dual motor but not AWD, and 3.7 sec 0-60mi vs 3.1
Unless they are saturation point for the S/X in their current markets and can therefore allocate manufacturing lines to usIf demand is slowing, that would reinforce that the decision to knife those products here was the correct one.
Cannot see those going RHD any time soon. Roadster probably dead until they discover a battery small enough to fit the car that will deliver the range promised.Whatever happened to the cybertruck and the roadster?
You have to actually place the RHD product on the market for sale to see if the demand is slowingIf demand is slowing, that would reinforce that the decision to knife those products here was the correct one.
The promised 1000km range at product launch in 2017 seems kind of stupid now. Based on the plaid, it dosent need a 200kw pack to hit the claimed performance figures and roadster owners dont need such ridiculous range.Cannot see those going RHD any time soon.

And yet Tesla expects everyone to fit into a 3/Y.Price. EV buyers are cost cconscious and some of us just don't fit into the smaller cars. Yes S is small too.
I doubt many S or X owners in australia are living on struggle street or used their last dollar to scrape into the carPrice. EV buyers are cost cconscious and some of us just don't fit into the smaller cars. Yes S is small too.
Interesting specs.

Interesting then.
So if Tesla makes say $15k on the existing car, they only make $5k on this software downgraded model.
Obviously might be other issues at play like keeping the line near full capacity to amortised fixed costs.
Nonsense. Tesla makes probably $40k at the lower price point now, and more at every optimized revision. Remember, Tesla used to sell a more expensive S frame at $50k and now they have optimized manufacturing so everything is cheaper: battery, motors, frame, paint. Tesla is making a Killing on these. At the rate they are going, they are going to scalp the competition by lowering prices even further while remaining profitable.
Why not sell to RHD markets if there is so much profit per car?
Both our S/X orders got cancelled with Tesla's excuse pointing to it not be economically feasible to produce for RHD markets...
This was always complete BS. Tesla proudly announces a manufacturing prowess over the competition at every level (innovation, vertical integration, cost), yet its not economical for RHD S/X.Both our S/X orders got cancelled with Tesla's excuse pointing to it not be economically feasible to produce for RHD markets...

Elon has also forgotten the promise to look after the early adopters.This was always complete BS. Tesla proudly announces a manufacturing prowess over the competition at every level (innovation, vertical integration, cost), yet its not economical for RHD S/X.
My ass.
The body in white has done all the certification and roadworthiness approvals.
Other manufactures don't have this issue for low volume vehicles and how many different manufacturers do we have in this market (was mentioned earlier in the thread)
This is pure Elon chasing the rounding errors and grasping at straws on the balance sheet as to getting the share price up, back to the glory days before the forced Twitter purchase.
