Tesla no longer offers adapted cars for the UK and other left-hand traffic countries. The electric vehicle manufacturer now has an interesting solution to the resulting problems.

no time? Blue News sums it up for you

  • Tesla includes “The Reacher” tool in its Model X and S in the UK.
  • This is a clutch that can be used, for example, to operate vending machines at the entrances to car parks.
  • The reason is that Tesla only produces left-hand drive vehicles.

Tesla no longer offers its Model S and X in a right-hand drive variant for use in left-hand traffic countries. Anyone who now buys a left-hand drive Tesla in the UK will get a free tool aimed at making up for car defects that are not adapted to local conditions, such as ‘Carscoops’. mentioned.

Tesla calls this tool “The Reacher” and packs it in a neat box. Basically, it’s a pair of tweezers that cleaning staff or seniors love to use. The purpose of “The Reacher” is that Tesla drivers can press buttons at car park entrances, for example, without having to leave their seats.

This is not unusual in the UK

In May, Tesla announced that it would only produce the luxury Model S and X models in a left-hand drive version. Pre-orders can be canceled or upgraded to the Model Y and Model 3, which Tesla will continue to offer with left-hand drive versions.

But if you still insist on handing over the Model S and X, I combined this with the “Reacher”. However, Tesla drivers won’t exactly stand out in Great Britain. There are also some other luxury cars that only have left steering wheels, and used cars from mainland Europe are also very popular on the island.
