> Does the 7 day return policy not alleviate those fears?
Not at all, it's ridiculous to pretend that's a reasonable replacement. Cars are subjective things, luxury or higher end cars even more so. I've gotten pretty excited about the prospect of buying this or that only to drive it and realize I have zero interest.
In fact, I always thought I might want a Tesla until I actually rode in one and realized they feel profoundly cheap, the fit and finish is embarrassing, not even remotely in the ballpark of a standard German luxury sedan.
Maybe that'll change for the newer models. I'll likely never know though, instead I'd just go to a BMW or Audi or Mercedes dealer and be treated like a functional adult and a consumer looking to make a major purchase.
And once those guys get real, competitive electric options in stock, with functional dealerships and repair departments and so on, how exactly is Tesla planning on retaining market share?
