As you've probably noticed, Tesla has little need to push or promote their cars. No media advertising. So far, they are able to sell all they can make with no such expenditures. So, I wouldn't expect Tesla to be trying very hard to sell you a car in the near future. I ordered my S online without having visited a show room or even having seen a car "in the flesh". The first S I saw was mine being unloaded off an 18 wheeler in front of my house. I have absolutely zero regrets. I bought the car strictly for it's range. The performance was a very pleasant surprise. The developing SuperCharger network is an even more pleasant surprise. -- Willie, ONWARD!
