Order a Model S or Model X in the UK and you'll receive a left-hand drive car and a bonus grabbing stick.

It’s legal. Before brexit it wasn’t uncommon to see French vehicles on British roads - most of Europe drive on the right after all.

Even after Brexit you are of course allowed to travel to the UK with a European car. This is still not uncommon lol

Most of the world too

For sure. I just meant that as we’re part of Europe, had open borders, and are connected to the continent by the Eurostar, is wasn’t at all uncommon to see European cars/number plates on British roads, and the vast majority were right hand drive. I’ve never seen an American number plate however, just as I imagine an American wouldn’t be used to seeing a British or French number plate on a Renault Clio in America, regardless of whether it was LHD or RHD.
