I'm not saying it's ideal. But there's a population of folks for whom Tesla is definitely on their radar, regardless of their retail presence. I live in Hawaii, and I've been following Tesla since the original Roadster. If I could have purchased one with a money-back guarantee, I would have. The real stumbling block for me was that there was no service center on Hawaii at the time. I still wouldn't recommend buying a Tesla if there isn't a service center nearby.
