I do agree that Tesla has to do this right, but I fail to see why they have to use the same system as everyone else. You only buy your car once but get it serviced quite a few times if there's nothing wrong with it, and quite a few MORE times if there is. So I agree Tesla needs a decent service network combined with the service rangers. That might include training and equiping regular garages or doing their own people. Regardless for service you need a service bay or two and no fancy location which should lower the price for these service stations drastically.
Regarding trade-ins I don't see why Tesla should do it as that is just the sleazy part of the car salesman industry they don't want to be. If they have to I suppose they could hand out a business card for wholesale auction that will for a bad price take the problem away, but warn about the issues with that.
This might be a cultural thing I suppose. It might be our car salesmen are a lot more genuinely like here in Norway than they are in the US. The fact that they don't have huge lots full of cars removes a lot of the pressure I beleive. And improves margins quite a bit...
