One thing I did wonder is as the sales model isn't through a "dealership", the experience or willingness from different showrooms shouldn't really differ. With that in mind, has anyone managed to obtain a long test drive / hire?
I can understand if the general answer is "no". But as the whole EV thing requires quite a different lifestyle, I'd like the possibility to try one over a few days to see whether I really get along with it. I'd be happy to pay for any hire costs, possibly refunded when placing an order, but I don't know whether that's possible or not.
I know you can have a 24 hour or weekend test drive / hire on a LEAF, but the Tesla is obviously more expensive and less common at the moment...
