Since I don't see many Tesla's running the hard top, I presume they were not included with the car? If not, what do they cost?
Thanks

Heck, I'm in Canada and I took the top off today! Unbelievable weather. Broke the previous record by 8 degrees C (14F).
Apparently (Tesla says) there's no significant weight difference between CF and painted hard tops; but that's never been confirmed with data AFAIK.
Thank you guys! The cars do come with a soft top, correct? Is it water tight? Any idea how much weight savings there is between the carbon fiber top and the standard steel, aluminum, fiberglass top?

I finally weighed both of my tops today. The hard top is heavier, as I'd expected (I believe I've seen a post in another thread indicate the opposite like quoted below), but obviously both are light.
Hard top: 22 pounds
Soft top: 12 pounds
[soft top included support slats, but not bag, since I never keep the bag in the car and none of this adds significant weight]
[Note: my hard top is a clear coat one. I assume that there might be some significant difference in the production process, but wouldn't think that there would be a significant weight difference from a non-clear-coat one. Someone should weigh a non-clear-coat one and post here if it is significantly different.]
The soft top is waterproof, but in heavy rain there is a tendency to leak around the top of the doors and it will drip down onto the door sill and your pants when you open the door to exit/enter.
