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, learn about the technology, and receive assistance from Tesla representatives.

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

Furthermore, Tesla's Supercharger network provides a proprietary charging infrastructure, offering fast and convenient charging options for Tesla owners.
