Maybe this is part of why tesla doesn't like the dealer model.
Yes - I thought of that as well, but could not find a way (by the minds of the Dealers) of executing that and maintaining their margins.
a Test Mule Leaf would be great, and the actual cars for sale kept in Climate controlled shop/garage would eliminate the need for labor to install fresh battery at point of sale.
Real-estate & building costs of course.
BUT, its the Auto Industry - and they want to put YOU in the CAR you LIKE on the LOT so you fall in love with it & have to have it- better sales tactics for them. If they said drive his one, and if you like it, we have the ones in the back ready to sell - they looses the the edge.
Best bet I believe to take your OBD2 & Leaf Stat/Spy & plug it into the car you want. Dont like the numbers, move on. Wish I had Leaf Stat earlier!
