Tesla has revolutionized the traditional car dealership model in several significant ways.

Firstly, Tesla employs a direct-to-consumer sales approach, bypassing the conventional dealership network.

Customers can order their Tesla vehicles online, customizing options and arranging delivery or pickup directly from the company.

Secondly, Tesla-owned retail stores serve as galleries where customers can view and test-drive the vehicles,

These stores operate differently from traditional dealerships, focusing on education and experience rather than aggressive sales tactics.
