    That’s why they sell them online. So you can’t walk up to it in a dealership and see them up close.

      Tesla has showrooms. It’s just they’re fully part of Tesla, instead of being little franchises with wingnut owners and weird regulatory capture.

      Musk is a jack-ass, but the showroom model makes sense.

        Tesla was only able to open these showrooms on American Indian Tribal Land due to car dealerships. Pretty smart workaround and I’m assuming a large money maker for some of the reservations.

          Good god what are you going on about? The majority of showrooms are in malls. The delivery centers and repair centers that aren’t in malls are located in the middle of large cities.
