Re: Mitsubishi to Sell Electric Vehicle in US
IMO Tesla will wait and see how the real world tests pan out, in the hands of a diverse group of clients. See how driving habits and normal everyday use affect their technology. The Tesla is still somewhat of an experiment and they really have no choice but to limit it's distribution to a few key locations. It would be pretty bad if they start dealerships all over the world only to discover that some major design flaw warrants the recall of most cars.
I'm thinking this is their reasoning because it does seem frustrating at first that they don't expand to more areas and only offer the car in the US. Especially seeing how Google purchased youtube for 1.6 billion, you would think they would invest a little more than 60 million into Tesla to build factories, dealerships and certify the Roadster for Europe and Asia.
Everything always seems 2-3 years away.... :-[
