Starting to lose faith

But the S is a much nicer looking car. People always say nice things about mine. The model X, on the other hand is just an ordinary looking car. It doesn't stand out in any way except for the Falcon Wing doors! While the car is in motion, it looks like a KIA Sorento !

A Kia! Those are fighting words around here. LOL

They have no motivation to lower the price on the X. They appear to be selling well.

At some point, they will lower the price as demand is met based on the X, 3, or competition. Then everyone that just purchased one will complain that they were ripped off.

I maybe misremembering, but I think we signed a trade deal with Korea a couple of years ago?

Canada has many trade agreements, but was this a "free" trade agreement similar to NAFTA? Under NAFTA, goods can travel duty-free between the US, Canada and Mexico as long as they have a certain percentage of North American content. The Japanese cells in the Tesla battery are what throws it over the limit and triggers Canadian excise taxes. I just thought the Bolt, with all its Korean content would be subject to the same thing when it enters Canada.

Info on the Canada-Korea trade agreement is available here: Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA) "Upon full implementation of the CKFTA, virtually all bilateral trade will be duty-free."

Thanks... that might be the reason. I didn't read the whole agreement, but the statement on the web page saying "upon full implementation" suggests it isn't in full force yet.

...not to mention the extra interior space of the X.

"What? You're joking right ?
The interior space of the Model X is vastly inferior to that of the Model S"

I think that these people you think are joking are just referring to the vastly more open and roomy feel of the X or its practicality for a family and not the shear length of lumber that can be carried with the rear seat folded down. Cars have their place and Tesla still sells the S and will continue the old body style for a while I'm sure. The non folding flat rear seats in the 6-7 passenger X are for people who don't care about max cargo length but they are offering the 5 seat for people who want the most cargo room in an electric car. By the way what do you do in the S if you want to carry large items and 5 passengers like the 7 seat X can? I guess if a family of 5 wants to travel or just carry stuff it's not that hand down winner in that case.
