Good news! I have evidence of at least 1 Texas store!Originally Posted by dsm363
I'm not sure how they got around the "dealership law." For service from this location, I'd gladly pay the $1/mile round trip fee. This location is less than 5 miles from me.

Coda just opened a store in the Century City Mall (in Los Angeles) on September 1st. The only down side is that they installed 6 J1772 chargers in the parking lot that are "Coda only". I spoke to them about this and told them they should just be "electric vehicle only" and encourage other EV owners to use them too. They were open to the idea and said that three of them were always going to be in use charging their demo cars. I hope they get the idea of the "common good" and let other's use the chargers.

Awesome news. I wonder why they don't send out an e-mail letting Texas owners know about this but that's better than Oklahoma for their Texas service center.Good news! I have evidence of at least 1 Texas store!

Is the Texas site a storefront (such as Santana Row) where they just show/sell cars, or is it also a service center?
If it is in a mall, it will just be a storefront. BUT, they might be able to have service personnel on staff there.

Another Roadster owner (don't think he's on TMC) found this (it is on Craigslist though)
Tesla Motors, Inc.- Product Specialist Position
Job posting for Houston store. Looks like this is a good sign Tesla is coming to Texas if this is a real ad.
More evidence, found in a google search on Tesla's own website:
Tesla - www.teslamotors.com | High Performance, All Electric Vehicles
The product specialist job is also listed there. This is really good news...hopefully this also means there will be some kind of service coming to the area as well, but a storefront is a step in the right direction.
Ah, yes, I heard them mention this at the Seattle Tesla Store. Tesla already has new employees in town to run the Belle Square Tesla Store, so they should be ready to hit the ground running when the store opens.
I wonder which VIN they'll put on display. They don't seem to have any left to display in Seattle, although I'm sure they're jockeying to get one for each. Soon there will be more stores than cars!
