Most 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.
