The US maker of electric cars is replacing its high-end showrooms with the internet in a bid to make its cheapest vehicle financially viable.

However, Mr Musk pointed out in the email that 78 per cent of all Model 3 orders were placed online and 82 per cent of customers bought such models without ever taking a test drive.

"Given its seeming abruptness, it does not appear that yesterday's announcement was made from a position of strength," Berstein financial analyst Toni Sacconaghi Jr wrote in a research paper.

Good. The salespeople that they used at Chatswood in the shopping centre where erm fucking useless and $380,000 for their car was a stupid price

Showrooms. They never had dealerships.

Probably would have been a better idea to have dropped the price of the cars. Make them less exclusive and more family orientated. Biggest hit with battery cars is if you ever have to replace the darn battery

Virtual Test Drive too I assume 🤷‍♂️

It was done to reduce the cost of the cars and the showrooms employed very few people, you might have seen pricedrops for model S and X and the new model 3 coming later this year

If you live inner city with no off street parking, how do you charge it? Do people run a extension lead out to the street. TeslaModel3

Bad move for buyers. Not to mention a further loss of jobs. 👎

i hope he didn't make this decision whilst dragging on pipe

is it delivered by a FEDEX driver?

What happens when they break down or self delete all firmware ? Tesla TeslaDealers

It would be a pleasure to avoid the routine visit to the car dealer. For me thankfully only every 4-6 yrs or so.

Can`t give them away lol. How`s that car on it`s way to Mars going ?

Looks like their business model is collapsing. I hope not.

Who gives a fizzle. We love analog! oilandgas
