In Century City this Tesla dealer has been there for at least 4 years. This is just a showroom, it has always been clean, neat and the staff very helpful, friendly and professional. Yesterday there were 3 models on display based on baseline price points: $40k, $80k and $90k add ons are extra.
Was mostly interested in the SUV with the gull wings. Had to arrange an appointment for a test drive later this week, not on the spot.
The representative Esteban was very nice and informative and was eager to take my info to enter into their system, but I was already on their list.
Tesla currently offering very sweet incentives if you lease prior to Dec 30 2018. After that date, all deals are off. So that was yesterday's pitch. Earlier today in the news, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk was asked to step down as CEO for alleged securities, tax, issues producing a ROI statements transparent to investors.
This news was not shocking to me, because Tesla hasn't shown a profit since inception and investors are aware of this. Elon Musk is the genius and key to the viability of this company. With Elon not behind the wheel to guide the company, I wonder about this company's future. Despite the not depend on gasoline, it's green effect, cool tech appeal of these vehicles, these were not enough reasons for me to purchase a Tesla if the company sinks...even the gull wings couldn't help it out of the red. Really like this USA company concept and innovation and want to remain optimistic for its success.
