Buying in non Tesla territory

I recently had a chance to see the Model S in person (finally) and just have to say I was still impressed. Even after drooling at the pictures online for weeks.

My plan is to move back to Europe in about 3 years, Algarve Portugal, the nearest dealership is in Spain however. I don't have too much of an issue getting the car from Spain and making all the paperwork necessary if that's the easiest route. My concern however is warranty and maintenance. If something is to go wrong and/or for maintenance (little as it might be) what are my options? Having the vehicle transported to Granada every year will surely make me reconsider.

As far as I know there are no plans for a Portugal store for the time being. And seing as it's a small country currently struggling with it's economy, there might not be plans for one any time soon.

Anyone know what the protocol is?

"Tesla vehicles are designed and built to meet the unique requirements of each market and are physically different country to country as required by law. Customers should reserve Model S in the market they intend to register and drive their vehicle. Exporting cars into different markets is not supported by Tesla Motors."

That's as far as the official language goes.

thank you

At least in the USA they have a roving Ranger program where they will drive to your house and do the servicing/warranty work. I am 400 miles from the nearest store so this is what I do. You have to pay a ranger fee so it is not inexpensive.
