Yes. Moving completely to on-line ordering only. Which is how most of the US had to order anyway - TWuG Feb 28, 15:26 8
- Where do you service them? -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 15:34 2
  - A lot of "service" is done via wifi. Physical service centers are around. (We have one here.) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:46
  - For most issues they will send service techs to meet you at your home, your work, or some mutually agreed on place. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:37
- Yeah, I'm extremely annoyed because we were supposed to get a Tesla store here soon. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:28 4
  - Hmm, $49,650 is getting close to our parameters. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:36
  - You may get a service center still. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:33 2
    - The plan was to put an anchor store in West Town Mall in the spot Sears will cede. That's obviously not going to happen now. -- (edited) - David Feb 28, 15:37 1
      - If you really want a test drive, jump on a Tesla community group through the Tesla forums, or on Facebook, or through Twitter. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:40
*googles* Good God, that's some spectacular PR to bury a lede that negative. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:22 10
- I'm pretty sure you must have missed how Tesla has operated from the beginning. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:30 3
  - No, I've definitely noticed the misleading PR. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:32 2
    - What's misleading? -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 15:34 1
      - See below re: MOST STORES CLOSING!!! -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:36
- It's a FEATURE -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 15:25
- Yeah, that was my biggest takeaway from that. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 15:24 4
  - I just love how casually those three words get dropped in. It should be like alarm sirens, "MOST STORES CLOSING!!!" -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:27 3
    - There's only like 80 stores. Updates are done OTA, or they come pick up the car. - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:45
    - Why? The vast majority of their sales never happen in the stores. There are/were only 80 or so in the US total. Another 120 in the rest of the world. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:44 1
      - There are (currently) 79 Service Centers, too. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:51
