I can't help thinking that Tesla as successful as it is for a young company would be more successful in European countries where short driving distances and high fuel prices are common. Canada and the US are lumped into one vehicle market but distances tend to be so much greater compared to Europe and fuel is a bit cheaper. That was mentioned in the article but there's more to it than that. Weather is another problem Europe tends to have milder weather compared to the northern half of the continental US and all Canada. Half the year where I am it's below 0C , snow and snow tires (more aggressive grip) really affects milage my vehicle get practically half the milage I do in summer. Tesla needs to build a vehicle with good ground clearance, a range of at least 400km, rapid charging and cost around $30,000. If not there's no way I would even think of buying one.
