I'm often surprised that many sales people seem to know very little about the car they are selling!

Yes you are right most of the salesmen are just that salesman with nice affable personalities that people will buy cars from. Product knowledge is often somewhat lacking even at top level. Unless you find a dealer that has good interested salesmen actually enthusiasts for the product who have a passion for it and know what they are talking about, very rare in my experience. Unfortunately everyone is really only interested in the money or bonus or targets as I think that most of commerce has been driven in this direction by the incentivisation of the work ethic
The dealer I had my original order with had salesmen who had come from the financial services industry and it was obvious he was virtually clueless about cars. He openly told me that at his job interview they said that if he could “sell a piece of paper” he would have no problem selling cars!
