Went to a local showroom. Looked at some of the models on the showroom floor, spoke to an employee about colors, features and options. Got a test ride. Sat down in the showroom and had a cup of coffee while ordering a new X on my phone.
They called 3 days later, said they had one in stock for me and I returned to pick it up 2 days after.
Not sure what part of the legacy showroom experience i was denied, except for that rediculous back and forth in an adversarial confrontation with the sales dweeb and his shiny shoe/expensive suit sales manager.
Their showroom is in the same area as other speciality vehicles like Lambo, Ferrari, Rover.
Car was waiting for me on arrival. Signed some paperwork, got a walkaround and was shown the operational details of driving and charging the car. Very pleasant experience. Employees at the gate even clapped and whoo-hooed on my way out. Car was flawless, clean and charged up. Pleased at how much improved the Raven is over my previous 17 X-75. Faster, quieter, better handling, +100 miles of range, better audio, metalflake paint, and the new V3 computer. Amazingly about the same price as my 2017.
They have a service center 2 blocks down the road. Have used them a couple times with great experiences as well. Was given Model S loaners and services done the same day.
Best car ever...
