This location is right off of I-4 east of downtown Orlando. It's unclear if the "charging station" referred to is a Supercharger.

In the market for a Tesla? Pretty soon, you won't have to go far for a test drive — or a charge — as the high-performance electric sports car maker plans to bring a new full-service dealership to Orlando.
Palo Alto, Calif.-based Tesla Motors of Florida Inc. signed a lease for a 2.57-acre, 33,750-square-foot warehouse in Interstate Park, 100 S. Lake Destiny Drive near Eatonville, where the car maker plans to build out a showroom, sales center, service center and charging station.
This would be a second Central Florida location for Tesla Motors Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA), as the company in 2013 opened a ministore and service center in Longwood. Tesla also is known for its creator Elon Musk, the man behind PayPal and SpaceX.

Who’s for the electric car?
The eight-year Tesla lease includes the option to extend the lease term for four five-year terms, Orange County records showed. The landlord is Winter Park-based Dat-Shaw Inc., an entity run by Orlando real estate maven Mary Demetree, county and state records showed.
Rusty Stoeckel of Demetree Real Estate Services Inc. represented the landlord in the lease agreement, and Adam Gerry of SRS Real Estate Partners represented Tesla.
"We negotiated for several months to make this deal happen, and all parties cooperated to the fullest," Stoeckel said. "We are thrilled to have such a quality tenant as Tesla."
Representatives from Tesla Motors were immediately unavailable for comment.
