Plea to Tesla on 3rd Turkish Tesla Gathering

We just had our 3rd annual Tesla meetup. Attendance was great despite being only one city.
  • We have 200+ Teslas in the country.
  • Model S 75D entry price even with self import is same as BMW 530i
  • Model S P100D costs half of a BMW M6
  • Most expensive gas relative to purchasing power. Very cheap electricity. (0,08€ per kWh incl. tax)
  • Exempt from bi-annual motored vehicle tax.
Yet we have no support what so ever. We are even denied ranger support we are willing to pay for. A 12V battery failure can keep you stranded for 2 months. (has, to one owner)

Whereas Tesla invests in markets like Dubai, South Korea(only 48 cars sold despite supercharger coverage, service, store etc.), Jordan where they see little to no results. I think Turkey is an amazing market to boost up S-X sales while Model 3 ramps up. Would require less effort than trying to convert Model 3 res. holders to keep S-X production busy.

 
I do hope Tesla will come to your country in a more supportive way, I am sure they want to do it, it is just a matter of limited resource and time till it happens. I do commend you guys for going all that length to be the vanguard in your country with the first Teslas there.
