I hope Tesla don't make the same mistake as Apple just did with the iPad.
Australia uses a different bandwidth than the US for our 4G network and the new iPad can't use 4G in Australia. Apple just got a rap over the knuckles by the ACCC, our Competition regulator, for false and misleading advertising. (for saying it was 4G compatible. ACCC = Australian Competition and Consumer Commission)

He didn't. It was an off-topic reference .. something to the effect of "... since all cars will have 4G wireless ..."
