Hmmm ... Now I am confused by UK evdl members comments. Whenever I have perused the Tesla forum, the UK discussions have been quite lively, meaning interest is keen. And Tesla does lurk & listen-to that forum. And their have been several newswires in the past of Tesla adventures through Canada.
Using http://www.teslamotors.com/findus selecting Europe, it shows a UK London showroom in Maidenhead (50km west of London) http://www.teslamotors.com/maidenhead ? Is what is showing on the Tesla site not true ? I also found a UK auto sales website that is selling new Tesla S, and used Roadsters http://www.buyacar.co.uk/cars/tesla/tesla_model_s_hatchback/category_14874.jhtml Using again http://www.teslamotors.com/findus and selecting Asia, it shows one in Aoyama, Japan, and one in Hong Kong, China. But selecting North America, it does not show a Canadian showroom. A search on the page for Canada , states: NEAREST TESLA STORE Bellevue, WA ... which is near Seattle, WA but ~230km south of Vancouver, BC, Canada. Seems like Canada is SOL and has to traipse into the U.S. to get their Tesla fix. Tesla drivers will go to great lengths to get what they want/need. Yup, the Tesla supercharger stations are going in, but it is a slow go (and likely a bit slower since losing boat-load of money with the NYTimes attack). There are some Tesla supercharger stations on U.S. east and west coast, but they are not linked/hooked up yet. Its good that there are adapter cables for j1772. I also found a map of where Tesla drivers would 'like' Tesla superchargers put in http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=339139 If that map is an accurate indicator of driver interest, then there is more interest in Canada for stations that in the UK. Wow, there sure are a lot of Norway and Sweden desires for Tesla Superstations. ?
