Australian Tesla Dealers Reviewed and Ranked

More About Tesla Dealers

Thanks to surging interest in electric vehicles, Tesla has been growing its footprint across the nation, with Sydney and Melbourne the focal point for the brand thus far. Unlike the traditional franchise model, Tesla does away with the middleman and sells its vehicles directly to customers. Instead of your local showroom being referred to as a dealership, you might hear it referred to as a Tesla Store instead. You can find these stores in a variety of different settings, including urbanised locations like shopping centres. It hasn’t always been this way for the high-flying brand, as new car buyers previously just had the option of buying a Tesla online. The digital channel still plays a vital role for the brand, but its growing shopfront presence is a positive for local motorists. It is also running its own service operations, which means more transparency in terms of your end-to-end ownership. Tesla’s business model pre-dates moves by Honda and Mercedes-Benz to fixed-price agency models, so in this respect, the brand is one of the pioneers of fixed car prices.
