Tesla thinks a grabbing stick is a good replacement for right-hand drive in the UK. (www.arenaev.com)

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

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.
