Indeed. Other than friends' cars, I imagine that Tesla service centers eventually will be the place for test drives. Questions can be answered there,
If a Tesla location offers Test drives and answers questions from potential customers then it is a Retail location. And the people answering questions are salespeople.
The idea that a car can be sold like a vacuum cleaner and Tesla will become the Shark/irobot of the automotive world is patently ridiculous.
Telling people spending $42k-$50k on average to go watch online videos instead being walked through the features and how to use a Model 3 is also ridiculous. This may fly with early adopters but once you get to the heart of the market conquering premium Camry-Accord-Fusion buyers it will be a non-starter.
