To me this is a bogus argument because with Tesla you don't have the other option. Well, you kind have it but Tesla showrooms/service centers are usually a shitty experience in terms of "a salesman caring for you".
Anyway, I'm from Europe and I guess that the car dealership experience is pretty different (I know the US ones just by movies and Monkey Island)
- elromulous 4y agoSure, you don't have any other option, but it's their product anyway. You're already saying you want something from them. Also, my experience at Tesla dealerships has been the best of any dealership (and keep in mind I'm not a musk apologist (quite the opposite), nor own or plan to own a Tesla). They literally give you the keys and let you drive around by yourself, no questions asked. The experience is lower stress than buying a pair of shoes.
