Worse case is,they bring a loner car to you,while they take your car away for service,then reverse the process after completing the job.

Seems like a brilliant strategy to me. Elon is defining the future of automotive profitability. Software updates you purchase on your phone to unlock potential on your car; brilliant. No salesmen; fantastic! The future of automotive sales is online, not showrooms.
There's little additional cost to drive to a customer location to pick up their vehicle and drop off a loaner compared with a customer dropping the vehicle off themselves. That added convenience is very nice, and Tesla doesn't have to maintain a lobby for people to wait around in.
Perhaps when self-driving becomes reliable enough, a functioning car can simply be told to drive to the service center for repair.
