I'm scheduled to pick up my Model S in mid June, the folks at the service center have been amazing, I've been on 3 test drives and many many visits to the service center just to look at the car and decide what I wanted as far as options.
I was thinking of bringing a bottle of champagne for them when I pick up the car, is that something that's accepted in today's society?
Also while I'm asking, any recommendations on which champagne is good?
Im not a drinker so I don't know
My two Australian cents,
they are worth less than US cents:
1. Most employers here do not allow employees gifting by third parties, for various reasons. Employees that receive gift offers must report these offers. Employees likely to be offered gifts must go through ethics training which includes a section on gifts, acceptable and unacceptable gifts. There are very few acceptable gifts, but all gifts are reportable. In summary, offering gifts might place employees in an awkward, undesirable situation of having to deal with uninvited gift offer.
2. Most employers here do not allow alcohol on premises regardless of the alcohol origin, gift or no gift. Alcohol on employers premise, especially if consumed, creates a liability situation for an employer.
That is the situation here, might be different in US.
We are called downunder for a reason, we are upside down to the rest of the world
If you really wish to express your gratitude and satisfaction, there are many great ways to do it 21st century way:
1. Express it to Tesla people face to face. If you put some thought and effort into composing a short sincere speech and outline what you appreciate about their service you may have a chance of really touching them and making their day. Most people are thrilled to hear a sincere praise of their work, especially from customers. Hearing customers satisfaction is priceless and trumps a whole carton of alcohol in my world.
2. Write a card or personal note that they can display somewhere in store.
3. Leave positive feedback on Tesla's website - does Tesla have a customer feedback facility customized for each store, similar to Apple? Most businesses do seek feedback from customers after interacting with customers. My BMW service center texts me after service asking for feedback. My broker sends me an email after any contact with customer service. Apple sends email after any store visit, etc, etc.
Put yourself in Tesla technician's shoes. If you were Tesla's employee in that Service Center, what would you choose as the best way for customers to express their satisfaction to you?
