They had never driven an electric car had no idea what to expect, Tesla's are easy but for a new person with apprehensions of trying something new, especially with a baby on the way and picking a family car, they need guidance and reassurance.

If you do not build a relationship with your customers they will either be a non-tesla owner or a X time tesla owner. It does not matter if you have the best product in the world, if you don't treat people as relational beings, you will lose them, if not the first time, eventually. You don't have to. There is a middle ground, no pressure, informative, helpful, relational experiences that reassure people you are genuinely interested in helping meet there needs.
