Tesla to Open First EU Regional Sales & Service Center in London

Tesla Motors is opening a regional sales and service center in London, the first of three European stores that the electric vehicle manufacturer plans to launch this year.

The London facility will open this spring at 49-51 Cheval Place, formerly the Segrave Supercar Club. The showroom is in the popular Knightsbridge district, walking distance from Harrods department store and convenient to Heathrow Airport.

London Mayor Boris Johnson, a fan of the Roadster, said Wednesday he hoped to introduce 100,000 EVs and to build 25,000 charging stations in the capital. Prime Minister Gordon Brown – also familiar with Tesla – said EVs would be one cornerstone of his economic recovery plan.

Here is a Google Streetview look at the road where the store will be.

There are no good shots of the building online, as far as I can see, but I will endeavour to get down there and rectify this.

Hi All,

Does anyone know anything about the store opening? I would love to come along with my partner and see the car in the flesh and hear what Tesla have to say. I missed the opportunity to go to the London Motor show last weekend and see the Tesla.

Just discovered where the store will be located from this website: http://wapedia.mobi/en/Tesla_Motors

The address is: 49-51 Cheval Place, London.

This is one company I'd love to help out!

It would appear that google streetview has been removed for this street

I now have to be in London on that day. I'll try to visit the store before my first work appointment which isn't far away from Cheval Place.

I've sent a PM to you both.

Anyone know of the time the opening will be held at, and if people can just turn up?

[malcolm]

No idea

But Elon will be there - for some of the day presumably.

The launch party is the in the evening and you need to be on the invite list. Whether the store will be open for business in the daytime , I am not sure.

Malcolm, are you going?
