A surprising development emerged this evening. As confirmed first hand The “Kemal Geçer” era is over in Tesla Turkey.
Firstly Mürşit Unat put forward by journalist Emre Özpeynirci‘s now “old” Tesla Türkiye by calling general manager Kemal Geçer confirmed This was a truly unexpected development. According to Özpeynirci, Geçer’s 2-year contract ends on November 15 and will not be renewed. During this period, he was sent on leave, all signature authority was transferred to someone else, and all ties with the company were severed. The reason is said to be that it does not fit the corporate culture. In other words, it is not infrastructure investments. This “infrastructure part” In particular, Özpeynirci recently said the following: had conveyed: “For those who do not know, Tesla’s Turkey General Manager Kemal Geçer, who delivered more than 10 thousand vehicles in Turkey in a short period of 4 months, is someone transferred from Lufthansa (Germany), that is, from outside the automotive industry. Since he did not come from the automotive industry, he was the target of criticism from the very beginning. However, it attracted attention when it sold more than expected to a small number of people.

But the rumor mill boiled over when Geçer, who was reported to be tense due to his recent disagreements with Tesla headquarters, went on holiday abroad for 2 weeks.
It is said that Geçer’s disagreement with Tesla headquarters stems from weak sales and their failure to provide the necessary investment support for after-sales.
In other words, they neither have a showroom nor proper service points or delivery points outside of Istanbul. I think Tesla didn’t actually make the investment it should have made in the first place because it didn’t think it could sell that many vehicles in Turkey.
Now, after delivering more than 10 thousand vehicles under the management of Kemal Geçer, but still not having enough after-sales points, customer dissatisfaction has begun to emerge.
It is claimed that Geçer got angry about this situation and went on vacation, citing fatigue. But I learned firsthand that there was no separation or resignation.
By the way, an important detail; After Elon Musk and President Erdoğan’s meeting in the USA, I learned that they connected Starlink to Kemal Geçer in Turkey.
As a result, it is said that Kemal Geçer will put some brakes on sales after the delivery of 10,200 units and will focus on infrastructure investments in this process. We’ll wait and see…”
It is not yet clear who will replace Kemal Geçer as the head of Tesla Turkey.
