Having watched people in the Tesla retail store at Westfield here in the UK, it was basically a playground for kids and adults alike. I reckon they sold very few cars if any through that outlet.
I'd buy one off the Internet. I bought my current car, a Citroen, off the Internet unseen. It's pretty low risk if you pay deposit with credit card here in the UK.
- benj111 8y agoYou are with respect, a Hacker News reader, so closer to Tesla fan than the proverbial Mum and Dad. Plus I take it the Citroen was a petrol/diesel, so a known quantity. Did you have a test drive at all?
- setquk 8y agoI’m a proverbial dad as well. No didn’t test drive it. Petrol.
- benj111 8y agoOk fair enough. Personally I wouldn't buy a car without a test drive, checking the boot fits a pram etc. Doubly so for an EV where things like how the accelerator and brake pedals work are still in flux. So from our highly scientific study, we can conclude Tesla are cutting themselves off from 50% of the market!
