The manager of a Tesla store talks to his sales team about the Tesla holiday event.
the weeks before Christmas and all across the city, people flock to the malls for gifts that are pretty. From food courts dispensers to kioskalore, the malls where kind shoppers find their favorite store. Some holiday gifts come right from the heart but some cost big money for push button starts. No gas in the tank a car to remember to show your deep love, it's time for a Tesla.
Alright, guys. So we're super excited about the Tesla holiday event. We are giving fifteen hundred dollars off if you buy before the first. Great. So that's really exciting. So I just wanted to go over a couple of things. Obviously, we're selling our selling point here is that we're getting rid of the dealership. Okay? People order their cars online and it gets delivered directly to them. So we're getting rid of the middleman, which is really cool. So Yeah. I don't know if you guys have any questions. I know a couple of you have been with Tesla for a while in different locations, but you recently moved over here. Maybe Jilton. Yes. One of our best salesman. Yeah. Yeah. This is Kirk, He used to be at the Palisades store.
So Yeah. We've heard the stories. We've heard all the stories about that. You know, I'll be on with you, Kirk. I was a little bit upset when I heard you were coming to our store right in time for the holiday event because I was thinking, you know, And and listen, I've I've everybody who's worked here for a while knows that I've always been saying this is the month that things turn around for me. Yeah. I'm gonna start selling cars. I'm gonna I'm gonna get my pitch down paths.

But this guy was saying I wanna get a feel how it'll be.
But there's only one car in the showroom. Right. Right.
He he ended up taking a hard ride through the journey store. Came back with a couple of boots in the car. Well, but we were upset about that.
Boss, I don't mean I
don't mean to talk back.
I don't mean to talk back.
Luckily, Elon, tweeted four twenty sixty nine journey boots

was fine. I don't mean to to to sort of speak in
on Twitter. I'll tell
you this though. That car, I almost sold it. I almost sold it. That guy's almost washed out of here with with the car.
He was very impressed by the self driving technology.

what? Discasa, Nick. You get
too many whats for someone whose whole job. It's me, understood.
And you sell too many cars.
Did you really come from the radio? That's what you
kept saying. Of course, you never do the radio.
That's not a good call out. You sell too many cars.
You sell too many cars. Obviously, you guys work in the palisades, he sells them because these people are rich they already won't test it. Sure. So it's not hard.

No. That's not it. We went over this in your interview.
Wait. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
Just another is really so hard.
Listen. He's a famous guy. Okay? I wanted him to
now see, that's not fair. My interview my interview, I was also very clear about my expectations. Okay? And I've had to curb my impulses extensively since I started working here.
Well, yes. You brought in the gas can to your interview, said, where does this go?
Yeah. I asked if if we can't use the real stuff, can I at least get one of my cousins gasoline scented candles and bring it in and put and burn it in my office and you said no? That would be disruptive to the work environment.
Because your cousin's gasoline said a cancel candles used gasoline. And so they were they went up and played.
Just They were just cans of guest cocktails. You throw into -- Maltops.
--
mousletops. Mousletops. Mousletops, cocktails.
Mousletops, cocktails. Which Awesome. Of course, a holiday movie. Well, I'm gonna say I was gonna say, it feels like it might be a nice little thing if we can sort of offer up something to a little bit different clientele. Around this time of year.
Yeah. Can we sell to Jews here?
I know Elon has a problem with it, but I wouldn't I I am

well, yeah. I would like to hear what you have to say about the model x because I've obviously done all my research.
Okay. Well, this year
we got
some new features on the model x. We've got the that the steering wheel has changed.
Stop. It makes It's not a light sip if you're doing it out of the whole canteen thing. Where did
you get the coffee can team?
It's a really good cup of joy. I've had the whole thing.
Okay. Listen. We we got a steering wheel change. Obviously, the it has gone to the two handles steering wheel. We don't have the circle steering wheel.
I love that. So now you feel like you're driving a plane. Yes.
No. I'm not selling that one. I'm not selling that one.
Phil. But you have to sign up Is it even a
car anymore? Is it even a car that's been my big problem with Tesla since I started working here. Are these even cars anymore?
They're they drive on the road. They got four wheels. The steering wheel just changed. Yeah. Steering. Yeah.
Your question is way
off. Of course they're cars. They're just changing some of the standard boring old funky stuff
--
oh. -- that we, you know, car culture has been stuck -- You'll
--
in the in Henry Ford.
I think we're stuck in a little too much competition. Obviously, we wanna sell cars. Obviously, they're all gonna be testless. What are our quotas? Do we have quotas for the weekend, for the day, for the year?
Well, that's the cool thing about Tesla, there are no quotas that you have to make.
It's great. It attracts some of the laziest people possible. I'm in high solvency cars and
it looks amazing. Tesla really sells itself. It's a popular car. We have wait lists. All you have to do is be there to help people go through the interface and and take their payment. And then get the delivery set up. Okay? Can I please finish the the features?
Of course.
Okay. So they've gotten rid of the gull wing doors on the back. They open, like, a a typical car door.
That's a disappointment.
Yeah. It's a little
bit That's a disappointment.
Okay. See, that's the voice. That's the voice that we hired him for. Okay.
Actually, you want me to use the voice.
Sean, if you you're very famous for for coming in and hitting the voice on the radio. I thought it would be good in the store here, and feel free to use that.
Let's
go ahead and get you on a new Tesla today.
Okay. There we go.
That was really good. Alright. So before I think I know who
my competition is here. But but I
think you've had enough coffee shop, but, honestly, since you're doing the voice now, I don't really care that you're drinking that much. So before I open up the grate on the front door, and people start coming in here. Do we have any questions?
Yeah. Where are we celebrating after I sell all these cars today?
Okay. That's that's very funny. I will, though, if you sell a Tuesday Nobody left.
Not a single laugh in the house. Try eyes. Okay. Try eyes full cups. Big poops. No. I have a poop. I drink a lot of coffee.
No. Sean, stop with the farting and the pooping, and I I
said this is an interview.
I said this in your interview.
You said stop with the farting and the pooping reiterate? And you still hired him?
He's got the voice. Listen. Oh, no. He is driving off into the hey. Hey. Get back here. Get back here. Get back there. Bill. Don't take her out. No.
