They have not made any RHD cars yet for customers. They wont until June at the earliest, I expect July deliveries to be unlikely.
I had a deposit placed that I’ve since had refunded after realising I’m not ready to go fully electric. The configurator said June delivery which I found hilarious, my mustang took about 6 weeks from leaving the factory to my driveway so I didn’t see how it was even remotely plausible.They've (AFIK) only registered 300 RHD vins so far and that was mid May.
And yes it takes several weeks to ship.
Tesla are focused on producing and selling LHD 3's this quarter, they have enough orders n to worry about RHD, they just need to get the delivery process streamlined and cut costs there, realistically UK/RHD is a distraction they dont need right now.

We don't actually know for sure how many RHD Model 3s might have been made so far.
Some UK deliveries may still be made in June.
The carrier Grand Phoenix left SF Port 80 on the 15th and is due into Zeebrugge on June 4th.
That's 20 days transit time, so it's perfectly reasonable to expect some RHD cars to arrive in June.
Grand Mark is currently docked at Port 80, so could load up in the coming days and be here last week of June with a lot of cars destined for the UK.
Might be wrong, but I'm hopeful.

Port 80 I doubt if it will ever make it through the Firewall Some UK deliveries may still be made in June.

The UK order page was updated last night with delivery back to June. A bit odd. They just have one AWD + option now too! I guess deliveries might happen in June after all?
Price changes before the first car arrives...
Its really odd - I suspect this may be a case of "we've shipped lots of performance cars so that's all we're offering to sell so we actually sell everything we ship before quarter end"Price changes before the first car arrives...

And all with black premium interior, I can see some good inventory discounts coming for these cars. £60K with FSD option, £50K post discount? Heres Johnny said:

They don't instil a lot of confidence do they?
Or they've seen what the UK has now ordered and will be shipping those this/next week then rationalised ordering and production ready for the orders from all the other RHD markets which have just opened.
It may be some UK LR customers will now have to change spec. but the changes all seem to be for the better. My P3D is now £3760 less than it was yesterday.

Its all the downside of the way they work
If you walked into a BMW dealer a week before the end of a quarter they'd cut you a deal on unsold stock to get shot, only the list price wouldn't change and you'd have little idea if you got a better deal compared to the person that bought a car 10 mins before you. With Tesla its all in public for all to see
What it does look like though is that Tesla haven't sold everything they've made for the UK market

Do they have a choice without a proper dealer network and the salesmen with authority to do deals? It does appear off-putting, though.If you walked into a BMW dealer a week before the end of a quarter they'd cut you a deal on unsold stock to get shot, only the list price wouldn't change and you'd have little idea if you got a better deal compared to the person that bought a car 10 mins before you.
