And those letters aren't worth the paper they're printed on (from the car-owner's perspective; they're worth their weight in gold to the dealership for each potential customer they get in the door).
I feel like I came out ahead in the deal....I got a level 3 charge while I talked to the sales rep, AND got a $25 Quick Trip gift card. Oddly, they told me they would mail me the gift card...when I asked them to put it in writing that one was coming, they AMAZINGLY found one for me.
I wish we could buy cars from vending machines....no one should ever have to encounter a car salesman again.
Affordable Tesla is coming, and I think that (and the Supercharger network) are going to be prime reasons why Tesla will dominate everything, even if competition releases a more affordable 200 mile EV.
I don't have a Leaf, but my smart car dealer is a little less crappy, but still mediocre for an EV experience. I have emails coming in about my car, but fortunately they're very specific (i.e., they give me the price I could lease a new smart car for while trading in the lease early and including what I still owe left on the original lease). The EV experience is horrible though, as I had to spend nearly 10 minutes talking to the salesman to even consider ordering a new smart EV for me. And now it's a six month wait until that EV is even delivered, assuming it's not delayed again (not sure if this is the dealer or smart USA).
