    George B and the Tesla stores

    George B on how to sell a car and not push it down the buyer's throat:



    This is part II of a series of three. I can't find part I (and think part III still has to come out)

    Nice one. I've heard all the bits and pieces before, but it was nice to hear it all in one cohesive interview.

    Great interview but I do think TM will have to do some strategic advertising in order to more of those consumers into the TM stores to meet that 20K units annually.

    I think they will but doesn't make sense for them to create demand if they can't deliver the cars for a year. They do need to have some sort of backlog though so they don't sit there waiting for orders to come in. I thought they were good interviews as well. GeorgeB always does a good job.

    I allow me to clear the air... I should have said after they move the first 5k units and I do agree with the thought that TM needs to have a pool of res holders. I also agree that George B has been doing a good job of finding out how to make the Model S the best.

    All of the things they do is the reason that I will only buy a Tesla from here on out.

    You know, I'm ready to get in line with you and Bonnie for the kool aid, but I just need to first know that I'll fully enjoy the S. I'm fairly sure I will, but only an extended period with the car can prove if I've been fully weened off my Audis

    Once you've driven an EV (or, in my case, an EVer) for an extended period you'll never want to get back to an ICE. This morning I had this sudden feeling of pity for the people in front of me driving ICE-cars and braking constantly for turns and traffic lights, wearing their brakes and wasting energy, whereas I could simply use regenerative braking. And that's just one of dozens of things that tell me ICE's are so obsolete.
