That will require different headlights, different onboard charging, different software etc. Shipping some cars, north of the border is much, much easier.

- greglindahl 8y agoDifferent onboard charging, what? So far only China gets a different onboard charging interface from Tesla.
- martin_bech 8y agoIn Europe type 2 is the standard EV connector, and the cars can charge on 3 phases, when charging from AC. Fun Fact, first and second generation European Model S, dont have autoclosing charge ports, because the cargeport is bigger.
- greglindahl 8y agoOIC. So just like China, Europe forced Tesla to not ship an external adapter, but to build it into the car. BTW, the initial US Model S didn't have an auto-closing port. That was only added after the "snake" video was published.
- martin_bech 8y agoYes i know.. i have a euro spec 85D which is missing the auto-closing port. While its a feature on the US cars.
