This thing has taken entirely too long to come to market, and there’s no reason to make a separate version just for the US.

I want the longer wheelbase of the NA variant and the bigger battery that goes with it. In fact, I’d like a bit bigger battery than what’s on offer (given the charging topping out in the 170kw range) to be able to legitimately road trip with it. 5hr drives turn into 7 with a smaller battery and lousy charging curve, and the infrastructure in my neck of the woods isn’t great for where we want to go as a family.
