Being a brand new Tesla owner (two weeks!) I had to do a double-take the other day when I saw a huge building with the word TESLA on it as I drove down a busy street only minutes from my house. The location in question is in Schaumburg, IL, in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. The building is on Golf Road, near Woodfield Mall and was previously an Audi dealership (I believe). The building looked empty but I just had to find out if it was going to indeed be a new service center. I did some digging around, and it looks like this is really going to happen. See the attached photo below. In addition, I found this corroborating link: Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Service Center.
This is great news if you live in the Chicago metro area. The two existing options for us are quite inconveniently located in Highland Park and Westmont. Both facilities are also overbooked, so this would certainly relieve some of the congestion and create a more centralized location. With all the news of Tesla closing dealerships and service centers, this is PHENOMENAL news for those who live in this area ... and hopefully a good sign for the company!
