But it also realizes that in a Mall shoppers are in a relaxed state of mind & it is this in this state that Tesla needs to educate them about itself.
Is Tesla being different for the sake of being different?
It does not seem so because the questions that are likely to be asked by a person buying a regular car are going to be different than those aspiring to buy Tesla.
Take a customer who enters a regular car showroom. Here she is unlikely to ask, ‘How will I get my car’s gas tank filled up? Where are filling stations located? Are there enough of them?’
Therefore Tesla showrooms are designed to educate its potential users about all the concerns that they may have about owning Tesla. Customers may find the process of getting educated, dull & boring.
To overcome this problem Tesla has installed interactive screens, which are devoted to 4 major themes:
1. Safety
2. Autopilot
3. Company’s battery charging network
4. Dual motor that powers each axel
But the larger goal of Tesla is to own entire end-to-end experience of a potential buyer’s experience so that at every ‘touch point it delivers a pleasurable experience.
