We walked out of a dealership about 10 minutes before we planned to sign on a car because the sales manager started trying to pull all of this slimy crap on us. We had a trade in that we were clear had problems, listing the exact problems. He assured us he wanted the car, but the moment it came to value it - suddenly it had all sorts of different problems. I do a lot of work on my cars, so I knew it was all scare tactics and BS. By contrast, my Tesla experience was the exact opposite. Schedule a test drive, walk into the store, get the car for 30 minutes, then run the numbers. When I told them I wasn't prepared to buy, I felt absolutely no pressure. In fact, the only pressure I felt the entire time was a statement that the federal tax credit is likely going to end and deliveries are mid-December. Even then, it was clear they were telling me for _my benefit_ (to not miss savings) rather than trying to get me to sign immediately. I absolutely want that buying experience.
