I know we have a thread on Service Centers, but service centers seems to be less and less about service centers for Tesla going forward which is why I created this thread. With the exponential growth the more affordable Model 3 creates and the Model Y will continue, Tesla has come to a tipping point with service. I believe Elon Musk is well aware of this which is why he has stated that Service is his number 1 priority. Right now the Tesla brand is loved by many as customer satisfaction polls show. To keep this positive image and become a successful company in transition to mass production, Tesla must solve the problem of service.
I am curious what people think. Is Tesla on the right track with a ranger type model to service 90% of Tesla's service needs? Or will they need to expand service centers significantly as well? Elon Musk has stated service will never be a profit center for Tesla. But, right now in a time of financial discipline for the company, service centers lose money. How do you think service centers could break even without negatively impacting customer satisfaction? These are some of the basic yet essential questions I would like explore in this thread.
