I was staying at a nearby hotel, and so was in the area of the Store several times Sunday before I left, and I noticed that there was a steady stream of people stopping to take pictures, gawk, etc. It was a pretty busy place for being closed!

Tesla Motors Opens Second Store in Menlo Park, CA - MarketWatch

Quote:
The Tesla Store Menlo Park is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10AM to 6PM and Sunday 12PM to 5PM. Test drives are available by appointment only.

Quote:
[Tom] O'Leary [Menlo Park store General Manager] said the Los Angeles store takes one reservation a day, and predicts the Menlo Park showroom will do about the same amount of business. Unlike typical showrooms, however, a Tesla test drive requires a $5,000 deposit, so he expects a lot of looky-lous.
Tesla is leasing the Menlo Park building, Niazmand said, and spent less than $1 million on the remodel.

On my way home last night, I stopped by the store right before they closed. There was only one car on display (the light blue one) and the cars in the back were off limits. I'm definitely glad I went to the opening last Saturday, I would've missed out otherwise.

Last weekend, they had 2 customer cars in the showroom, an electric blue one and a dark green one. I was told the blue one was for Sergey Brin's wife.
There was a car available for test drives so I took it for a spin on Sand Hill Rd and 280. I had never driven it before. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun. The car sits low but visibility is pretty good. The car isn't as silent as I thought it would be, you can definitely hear the electric motor. The acceleration is simply outrageous, unreal, ridiculous, pick your superlative. On the freeway onramp, I had to take my foot off of the "gas" pedal after only a few seconds, this car is dangerously fast. And it doesn't even have the new transmission





More pics here.
