    South Florida Tesla Related Items

    Seems like there is a large contingent of Tesla fans in the Central and SW Florida areas but not many posts for the South Florida/Greater Miami area. Feel free to use this thread to talk about Tesla events...

    For example, did everyone see that Tesla is opening a store in Summer 2012 on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach?

    Welcome to TMC - it would be great if you checked in here: Introductions and also do go ahead and contact Larry Chanin, founder of the Florida Tesla Owners Group. We have several members from South Florida and Miami.

    Miami Beach store has been covered in many places on the forum. (You can see a search box in the top right of your screen). Issues with permits seem like an August or even September opening might be more likely right now.

    Please do post local articles of interest in the Florida forum.

    Hi,

    Welcome and thanks for starting this thread.

    We've started a Florida Tesla Motors Club and our ranks are growing all over the state. We have about a dozen members on the East Coast with about half in the Miami area. Some of them have registered on this forum and occasionally post, but others are not big on on-line forums. For them we periodically send out a newsletter that discusses common interests, including a section on news and rumors.

    If the club is something that interests you, please contact me at lfchanin@verizon.net.


    With regard to the upcoming Miami Beach store, recent word has it that it won't be open until late August or even September. Test drives in July will be conducted at the Dania Beach location, which logistically is superior to the Lincoln Road location.

    Larry

    Also, The parking is better at the Dania Beach location than the Lincoln Road site.

    Moving to Miami beach is the dumbest move Tesla is making. Dania location is right on I95... No brainer for visibility....Lincoln rd... Tourists or seniors only.... No one looked before they leapt on this one.

    Hi Steve,

    You know that they are going to keep Dania Beach a as a service center? Lincoln Road has more foot traffic that should make it more suitable as a store.

    Lincoln Road is the ideal location for the South Florida Tesla store!

    Hi Steve,
    Not that many seniors hanging around Lincoln Road anymore and you will find more tourists at the Aventura Mall (which BTW has a Fiskar Karma on display). Sure I can also think of a few other hip locations for a Tesla store but Elon made the right choice. t Lincoln road is perfect for exposing the most people possible to EV's and actually signing up a few customers for a Model S or Model X reservation.
