I show off my car about once a week. Could be at a supercharger, could be some relative or neighbor has a friend that wants to check it out.
I love showing off what Tesla has. It is like opening a window on the future. Most people have never noticed the window, and when they look through, it is "WOW", every time.
These people are not interested so much in buying a Tesla right now. They have heard rumors, but don't know really what it is. Sure, it's electric, but what's this about amazing speed, no maintenance, free power?
They didn't know it's the safest car made. They didn't know how gorgeous is it. And all controlled by a huge central screen! But it must be very expensive, and so it's a non idea. They only think in terms of used Toyotas or Volvos. So they just want to see, like looking at a Lamborghini. Until they hear more.
You can see the light go on in their eyes. Then you know, somewhere down the road, they will get one. They have to check out the web site, talk to other owners, think out loud to their wives or husbands. It may be a month, or a year, but it will happen.
But I don't sell the car.
I just open the window.
There's no referral for that, but it's priceless.
