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

The issue was also heavily lobbied by Mercedes. It wasn't about profit loss, it was about people importing base and utilitarian Mercedes vehicles. Think cloth seat sedans and offroad unimogs. Mercedes fought this imports in order to uphold their prestige as a luxury manufactuer. They refused to import those things

Ah, that's interesting — and makes a lot of sense.
