Theoretically, if people are not time constrained to get their Tesla, they can order it online and wait for it. However, I don’t know regular non EV enthusiast consumers who are ready to order and wait for more than 3 months for a 50k+ product over so if the delivery waiting list goes higher, it might push some other EV/ICE indifferent customer to another brand even if they were originally interested by a Tesla.I can't believe you need that many reasons why more people don't own a Tesla. Let me fix it for you: Tesla doesn't make enough of them. They sell everyone they make as soon as they can make it. More people wanting to own a Tesla does not equal more Tesla owners. Not even one more.
I agree with the previous contribution that suggested the PR can become a priority once production volume is high enough to require Tesla to have to actively promote their products. That day is likely a long way off because the cars keep getting better and more affordable.
one of my colleague was back from a big week end of work, just stopped at the Audi dealership and bought a RS3, not asking any question. When I gave him a lift in my Model 3 6 months later, he said he finally regretted his choice for the first time. What an impulsive buyer!
