Can Elon Musk apply first principles of physics and magically increase density and velocity of his distribution network? Sure, he can try, but what we have seen so far is not encouraging. We already covered how inefficient the average Tesla store is compared to the U.S. average. (Note: Because Tesla does not break out national sales numbers, I had to take the global number divided by the global dealer count. I will be happy to recalculate when a national break-down of sales is provided – not that it would matter in the grand scheme of things.)
