No haggling, fixed prices (although they can fluctuate from time to time - supply/demand).

If ordered for a new build, Tesla keeps you updated re status on line. Tesla cars are built in the USA. Fremont CA or Texas. USA! The car is delivered to Clermont for pickup. Or if it is stock, just go to pick up. This is all confirmed via the Sales folks at the Center.

NO haggling, no commission, no stress.

NO dealers. NO markup. No worry.

The 'dealer model' is SO 1990's.

And oh BTW, the car is simply FANTASTIC!
Totally agree with this. Tesla’s model is so simple and so effective. The old “Dealer” model is entrenched with the “old” standards. And those manufacturers which are not moving, or moving too slowly with EV technology are on the path to extinction. It’s already happening in China.
I will Never deal with car dealers again after experiencing Tesla. I always felt “slimy” leaving a car dealership.
