The last few years programs have been created to "get the best deal" on a car. Yes you can order online but the way the system is set up makes more financial sense to do the face to face at a dealership. I actually had gotten pretty good at haggling. Really, all it takes is the balls to ask for a better deal, more options,better rate etc.....Having said that , I loved the Tesla buying experience. The ease of ordering and excitement of emails and progress of my build. Tesla has a long way to go in the communication department though. TMC has plenty of posts regarding "NO communication" I am still curious about this free SC move by Tesla. Is it because the system is not set up right yet?All the negativity about the traditional dealership sales experience is kind overblown. My last 6 new car purchases were fine. I emailed and texted with the sales guy, outlining exactly the specs i wanted, the price i was willing to pay. Yes, or no. I emailed several places, there was always one or two that accepted my offer, then it was a matter of choosing which place was closer to me. I never stepped foot in the dealership until the day of signing the paperwork. Of course, Tesla direct sales is great, too.
