Makes sense then as supporting unpaid large inventory is not good. Better to match sales to demand than over produce.
The local Chevy dealer still has 15 bolts sitting on his lot. We wanted to take one for a drive last year and the salesman told us he could put our name on a list. He said they alloted a few a year and they were all spoken for until 2019. We’ll here we are. 15 on the lot as there now seems to be lots of inventory available. They haven’t sold one in a few weeks. Our sales guy was good enough to call us to let us know they had them so we went to see them. I asked him what kind of deal we could get on a white premium and he said the price was the price. I mentioned the base model 3 was about the same and his only defense was that “yah, but Tesla will be gone in a year so who are you going to see for service”. We thanked him for his time. We may eventually not be buying a Tesla but strictly for charging compatibility reasons. Probably a Leaf E-Plus. But we have driven them all and the Tesla model 3 trumps them all. I have confidence that there are enough people that will see that and Tesla will ok.
