Would you want to commute in from an outlying suburb
I've commuted in Vancouver, have you?
Speeds are much slower than you might expect from California. Peak congestion has to be experienced. I had a 18km one way commute while I lived and worked there. Took almost an hour. Moved to a different apartment, also 18km away. Took 40 minutes on Skytrain, including walking. Would take over an hour to drive, which I did a few times. I had almost the same distance commute, 10 miles, in Redmond, WA. Took 25 minutes at most. Both were BL (Before Leaf) and I'd expect that Vancouver traffic has only gotten worse. While it is possible to find a commute too long for a Leaf in Vancouver BC, the time and patience needed to drive it would be extreme, unless working very odd hours. Much like a commute too long for a T esla M odel S. Sure, a minority might have one. So? Most people can not or will not sit in a car that long every day.
