Tesla started to break sales records shortly after entering Turkey. In this sense, Tesla Model Y is currently the best-selling electric car model in Turkey. However, according to allegations, Tesla Türkiye General Manager Kemal Geçer resigned.

Initial information points to a focus on another task rather than resignation.
The resignation claim for Tesla Türkiye General Manager Kemal Geçer turned out to be true
Judging by the information shared by Emre Özpeynirci, Kemal Geçer is leaving his seat in Tesla Turkey, which has sold 10 thousand vehicles in a short period of 4 months. However, as you know, Geçer also held the position of General Manager at Starlink Turkey.
Although Kemal Geçer’s success in Tesla Turkey in a short time was important, according to Emre Özpeynirci, he had a serious disagreement with Tesla Headquarters. As you know, Tesla does not have a showroom outside Istanbul. Again, although Tesla has reached a large vehicle sales figure, it does not have an adequate service network in Turkey.
Kemal Geçer, who is currently the General Manager of Tesla Turkey, will continue to hold this position until November 15.
In this sense, the resignation claim of Tesla Turkey General Manager Kemal Geçer, which was initially shared by Mürşit Unat, was confirmed when Emre Özpeynirci contacted Geçer. According to this information obtained by Mürşit Unat, Geçer was left on leave for approximately two weeks until his term of office expired.
Emre In this sense, it is also claimed that the increase in customer complaints caused the tensions between Kemal Geçer and Tesla Headquarters to come to a breaking point. According to the information Emre Özpeynirci received from Kemal Geçer, the reason for this change of duty is a difference of opinion. However, the fact that Geçer continues to serve as Starlink Turkey General Manager is also an important detail.
It is a matter of curiosity who will fill the Tesla Turkey General Manager position after November 15. However, perhaps the most important move in Tesla’s Turkey operation will be the expansion of its service and dealer network.
So what do you think, can Kemal Geçer repeat the success he achieved as Tesla Turkey General Manager with Starlink? We are waiting your comments.
