So I’ve been shopping for an EV the past few weeks, and the last 4 dealerships I went to, the dealers all said the exact same thing. Whichever vehicle I went in to look at, the sales person would say “Oh, I own that vehicle as well, and I love it! I’d show it to you, but my wife has it today.”

Is this just a sales tactic, or a legit coincidence? I suppose it’s not strictly an EV thing, but this is the subreddit I’ve been browsing recently.

    I once went with a friend to a free weekend at a timeshare in return for him sitting in on the sales pitch. When the salespeople used their personal cars to drive them from the location of the pitch to their assigned showcase villa each and every one of them told their targets potential owners that their BMW/Lexus/Mercedes was being detailed today and that’s why they were driving them in a 10 year old beater.

    Detailing place must have been having quite a sale to have all 10 of their luxury vehicles in on the same day! /s
