I think the solution is to make "partner networks" - basically a system where a third party company can be authorized by Tesla to be/host a small scale Tesla sale & service point. Sort of like how FedEx will have random convenience stores be FedEx "service points" in addition to actual FedEx stores, or how pharmacies will host Canada Post outlets. The Tesla company itself can operate flagship stores in major cities as per the current model, while these third party networks can fill in the market in smaller cities and towns that are far away from these major cities.
