What I said.
And I really am confident the S Model was not created for Iowa, or deep rural areas with ever changing extreme weather.
Probably the same reason why ya don't see too many Porsche's in Minnesota or rural Ohio...Especially in winter.
Just a wild guess, but I'd say most people purchasing the S Model, will not be located in snow and ice country.
This is not an Oldsmobile nor will it be mass produced like an a typical SUV.
Once again, people who live in snow and ice country would be much better off with a typical SUV.
You keep thinking that the only places that have cold weather are in the northern MidWest.
Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, DC -- the list of places that get cold in the winter is extensive.
You also have greatly reduced range in places that require A/C in the summer, like most of the South.
The natural habitat of the Tesla S is thus mostly restricted to places like Southern California.
