Why are they confounding?

The other manufacturers offload that cost onto the dealerships, who provide show rooms, sales staff, service staff, etc. AFAIK Tesla takes this on themselves.

Do Telstra split the costs of new leases, refits, transformer installs, super-charger installs - for showrooms?

Also I'd guess they are pouring a lot into training and development. Assuming they have a long term view, they'd want to retain their top sales and management staff to move them up to more senior roles in the future. This is the opposite of dealerships, where a high churn in sales staff is unquestionable doctrine.
