. Prospective customers may just figure that buying factory-direct is the way to go.
Not only that, also having the factory maintain your car, is a rather nice experience dealing directly with the people that built the car. I intend where ever possible to have my CX maintained by the factory, even though it may involve a 6 hour round trip and overnight stay and make it more of an event and more enjoyable experience eg factory tour, experience centre, maybe hire a car for the day.
