This is an extremely common, routine even, thing that happens in the automotive industry. Every make and model of car has recalls from time to time, for issues just as minor as this. It scales.
- problems 9y agoMost of those manufacturers don't have to ship a car out-of-country to get it serviced though. Which - at least in my country is what Tesla has been doing.
- function_seven 9y agoOk, that wouldn’t scale at all! But I imagine that if sales of that car increase in your country, then Tesla would build a service center there to save money. At this (small) scale, it’s probably cheaper to ship and fix than it is to staff up a service center.
- problems 9y agoAre they planning to build out a full dealership network for their more consumer oriented stuff or are they still sticking with their direct-to-consumer model?
- function_seven 9y agoI don’t know the answer to that. All signs point toward maintaining the direct-to-consumer model. But that doesn’t preclude them building out a service-center network. The sales can be direct, but the service can be local.
