It does seem weird, and the fact that they’re closing stores they opened only months ago is a bad sign I think. The one in Dallas mentioned in the article was only opened in December, now it’s closed. That reeks of desperate cash-flow management at worst, wastefully bad spending at best. Now maybe some younger folks will be happy ordering a car online and relying on a return policy, but that’s not going o be a population to support a company valued at what TSLA is. The Model 3 is more affordable than an S, but it’s still a big chunk of change for most people. Beyond that price range you’re selling a majority to older buyers who can afford it. Look at who is driving th average high end Mercedes, it’s usually someone who’s getting on in years. Are they really going to be Ok without even a test drive? I’m in my 30’s, and no way in hell would I buy a car I’d never seen or driven, anymore than I’d buy a house without a walkthrough (at least). I think they’ve jus undercut their sales in a big way, and if it isn’t a desperation move, what is it?
