"Just reviewed Tesla’s service locations in North America & realized we have major gaps in geographic coverage! Sorry for this foolish oversight. Tesla will aim to cover all regions of NA (not just big cities) within 3 to 6 months." - Elon Musk, October 2018.
"It is a clear slow play strategy from Tesla and for good reason. Expanding service centers and thereby enabling the handling of more (non-profit) warranty claims would be a pure liability and crush Tesla' bottom line. Almost all Tesla's on the road are under warranty with no legacy vehicles to drive the profitable end of the service space. I would expect to see Tesla continue to slow play it as long as they can then expand about the time the initial mass of Model 3's are due to come off warranty.
More Elon 4D chess LOL. Build a disaster then make bank on after warranty service. "
