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

Different onboard charging, what? So far only China gets a different onboard charging interface from Tesla.

In 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.

OIC. 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.
