How come Tesla is absent from the Paris Motor show? I can't see any other automaker being absent from this event. It almost feels as if they are too good to be there
Tesla has a track record of cherry-picking their presence on trade fairs/motor shows. If you start counting, you find there is an endless number of them around the globe and at the point where Tesla currently is as a company, it makes perfect sense to restrict their presence to, e.g., one show in America, Europe and Asia once a year each.
Remember: They are not demand-restricted, not even cash-restricted (the recent secondary offering notwithstanding), they are currently production-restricted. Trade fairs don't help with the latter.
they've missed the autoshow in NYC earlier this year as well.
Fisker was there, but I don't think they need advertising right now, since demand is higher than they can handle already.
ar, absolutely! Which is why I went to the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. :-) I guess that event accumulates to their entire 2013 trade fair presence in Europe.

I just thought it would have been nice to see a bit more of them in Europe... Tesla has a huge fanclub over here as well
