For Tesla there is a "west coast style" thing going as well.
It isn't just what American's want, but Tesla is run by people with upscale west coast tastes.

If you look at what Silicon Valley and Hollywood types have bought for decades you find a high ratio of BMW and Porsche's compared to the rest of the country.

I hope (and expect) that Tesla will want more "European style flair" in their product style just like they have with the Roadster.
