Tesla is currently hot and that has nothing to do with warm batteries. But, the adult will be as a carmaker also brings challenges. How is Tesla planning to tackle?
Last week post we are some new pictures of the Model 3 on this site. When we look threw the comments, it became rapidly apparent to us that this car is huge and live with the Dutch car enthusiast. Not that everyone is convinced of the looks of the Model 3, but the model makes the reeds in any case, los.
That would be just once could mean that we have the car regularly in our streets going to come across. Although, to a real sales success to be, you have in these parts is still a strong dealer and service network needed. There apron a little bit in the case of Tesla. Tesla currently has four Tesla Stores in the Netherlands, namely in Amsterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven and Arnhem. The brand put like known like in on the online sales of their cars, but they realize that they are also more physical facilities need.
So there, next year, over 100 additional sales and service points, a plus of about thirty percent compared to the current number. But that’s not all! Also the network of Tesla approved reparatieshops is expanded and Tesla is going to reparatieshops establishment of which the owner is.
Perhaps the last move, however, as a result of some negative messages about the work of repairers with Tesla-approval. In march of this year, a man from the cloth that his Model S at that time for eight months at a bodyshop was, after someone at him back popped. Although this is an extreme example of how it can go wrong, also had others wait a long time for their cars because Tesla is having trouble had to get components on time to deliver.
To resolve this problem, the head in store is going to Tesla except extra car repair shops with a fixed location and also bets on mobile service centres for smaller problems. Thus, they are striking two birds in one stone. It creates more capacity for cars to repair, and people no longer have to travel long distances to get to the nearest repairer. According to quarter, there are already 100 of these Tesla Mobile Service trucks running.
In short, now there is a lot more Tesla’s on the road will appear will also get more problems, whether or not outside the warranty period. Tesla realizes that they need to take into account. The expansion of the physical shops with thirty percent sounds fine however, but do not forget that Musk is planning the marketing of Tesla’s to increase by 50 percent next year and then another 250 percent in the next year. How the practice will address, so it remains to be seen.
