#3What's with the word "force"? The tweet makes very clear there is no force, there are simply options and the customer can accept them or not.

#6I didn’t realize it was legal to drive left hand drive cars in the UK. Isn’t that generally less safe? I’m really surprised a company this large would end support for the right hand drive configuration.

IMO cars that have no physical buttons for important task should not be approved for public road use as long as any interaction by a driver is required.

#8How is it worth to lose the UK, AU and Japanese market with this move? I'm seeing a lot of Teslas in London, I don't see how eliminating the right-hand configuration is justifiable economically.
Yeah it might be a ball ache to design a car that supports both driving styles, but all brands with global reach have to deal with it.
The grabbing stick is equivalent to being told "fuck you for living in one of those countries, deal with it." Terrible idea.

It's also legal to drive right-hand drive cars across Europe. It's less safe, but not against the law.
