New Service Center near Albuquerque

[Vettepartz]

I was at an EV car show this weekend in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and heard people mentioning the possibility of a Tesla service center being built on highway 528 near Albuquerque. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I just saw a post on Facebook from the Albuquerque Journal. There is going to be a service center at the Santa Ana Pueblo. Slated to open next spring. Here is the article: https://www.abqjournal.com/2538484/tesla-announces-second-new-mexico-dealership.html?fbclid=IwAR3G9RI840vE-_nAZfE3zEry8lhdwvOnlD4e_bSP-oYKh9xUKmRnzjeSLDY#:~:text=New%20Mexico's%20second%20Tesla%20store,to%20open%20in%20May%202023

I was in ABQ on 12/5 and drove by to see if they started construction. So far so good. Nice to know there are going to be two service centers in the state thanks to some enterprising pueblo leaders.

Status as of 2/24/2024. Very large. No sign of the Superchargers to be installed nearby.

Has anybody heard anything new on the progress of the new service center in Bernalillo? I wonder if they are still on schedule to be opening around June of this year.

They're still moving along at a healthy clip. This was from 2/25

Just curious, any signs of a super charger stations going in? I know a lot of other service centers usually have some but in the pictures I'm not seeing any. I can't tell what the small signs in front of the building say.

I was at the Santa Fe service center a couple of weeks ago, and they told me that they were having job interviews for future employees at this new service center in Bernalillo. I hope that is a good sign that we will see an opening pretty soon.

I've driven around back a few times and haven't seen any construction or equipment which would lead me to believe a public supercharger is going in there. There's one planned to go in at the Blake's down the street, though I haven't seen any movement there since initial announcements.

I would think it would be a good location for a super charger. The casino is right next door, you could go drop a few quarters into a slot machine or eat in a restaurant there while you charge. I would have thought the Santa Ana folks would have made that a stipulation for putting the service center on the pueblo land. We will see.

I’m in Albuquerque and dropped by. Tesla signage is up!

Anyone around who can check the new Service Center location in Bernalillo? Reports are coming in that there are approximately 8 superchargers already being installed at the SC along the Hwy 550 sidewalk frontage. It's likely these are the ones @ABQP3D mentioned last fall.

The building looks essentially complete. There's even furniture in it, as of Monday. It's not open though. I didn't notice the superchargers but I only drove by on the highway. I can take a closer look tomorrow when I'm up that way.

I guess I have an excuse to go into town for lunch today
