New Stores in the North East

Too bad we wouldn't be able to buy a Tesla tax-free in Salem!

If we buy the car over the internet, isn't it tax free

First New England Forum post - As of this past week, Tesla reasserts store in Natick, MA open by October, Service Center in Watertown, MA by early October. Would be GREAT for me. Anyone else have confirmation that the attorney issues in Natick are settling? Heard they have same problem in Houston or thereabouts.

Paperwork signed and in. All good. No remorse - just relief. Sit back and see if the company doesn't fold before I get my car.

Burlington, VT might be a good place but few reservations there either. Not holding my breath for anything in Vermont for a long time.

You can't necessarily go by the map. That's known and 'volunteered' buyer info only. Might be 10X as high, or more.

A little dark, but I had nearly the same feeling at least once during the first week after MVPA.

However, at the NY test drive, my wife did coax a little teaser that there may be something north of Massachusetts...somewhere.

Not showing the on service center map yet, but nor are many other places mentioned in the share holder meeting.

And looking at city documents, now we know where the Boston service center is going to be:

457 Pleasant St
Watertown, MA 02472

We should have found this document months ago!

looks like one is opening next weekend as well

Tesla invites you to celebrate the opening of our latest store, Tesla Roosevelt Field. This marks the second of four stores opening in the New York Metro Area this year.

Nothing really new here but this is a topic that certainly has the attention of the dealers association so you know they won't let it go.

Teslas transformation of automobile service stumbles in Massachussetts

"A recent Massachusetts law also places an interesting twist on Tesla's story about Transforming Automotive Service. The "Right to Repair Law," signed into "law in August by Gov. Patrick requires auto manufacturers to sell diagnostic and safety information required to service automobiles. This way car owners can repair their own cars, or can otherwise bring their car to the repair shop of their choosing. Clearly Tesla's "we'll take care of you" stance is going to run afoul of the Right to Repair law. They say you can tell who the pioneers are from the arrows sticking out of their backs. Indeed."
