One more step on the road to lock-in and delivery!
Is the $1,300 high powered wall connector option worth it. What are the power connection requirements ?
I have a 240V 30 A connection for my welder in the garage.
I did not see the spec on the length of charging cables that the Model S come with ?

I would say you probably want to go with a 50 amp circuit, unless you don't use it as your daily driver or if you rarely will drive more than half your capacity in a day. There are several threads in the Model S section of TMC, with good discussion on whether to get the wall charger. I believe Tesla's charging page says the length of the cord, but I'm at work (on break!) so I don't have time to give you a link.
A 30 amp circuit takes 10 hours to put 53kWh in a Roadster. Much longer for an 85kWh pack. A 50A circuit is almost twice as fast, and I think that is entirely sufficient for garage charging. I have an HPC and almost never use it at full power, mainly for the occasional visiting Roadster.

I use my current 3-phase 32A socket to charge my Roadster (overnight 24A) but with my Model S, i can charge with triple speed because of support of 3-phase charging.

No three-phase support for North American cars...

Well, according to George B we'll be getting our finalize emails this week. Are you ready?
Lot's of discussion on the TM forum about Production rates. Even if the CND emails go out, it sounds like the 3 month delivery after finalization quoted by my TM Rep could be more like 4-5 months.
George B. "Canadian reservation holders can now start choosing their options and colours as they prepare to finalize their Model S. Later this week you’ll also be able to finalize your order online. Hint: Canadian Signature reservation holders should be on the lookout for an important email coming this week ☺"
