I'm looking forward to the store opening since I think they tend to have a reservation holder pre-opening (or at least can get there early). It'll be the first time I've ever seen the car in a near final form. I saw the prototype when it came through Portland, but the car has changed quite a bit and you couldn't even touch the prototype.

I'm with you. I think you'll be pleased by the later prototypes (i.e., those used for demo rides). I wish I had the presence of mind at the factory tour in Oct to write down some of the VINs on those.
That's fantastic! Keep us updated if you go back and see anything interesting, would you please?

Interesting that Tesla is now referring to stores by the street/mall, rather than city. This suggests that they have a long-term plan to have multiple stores in cities and want to avoid renaming them in the future.
And even one in the UK, though probably not a good candidate for a Tesla store. Good place for limestone, though.

... and the map pin is located dead center of Washington road pavement, near the parking lot
Here's a slightly more accurate pin for you.

Most in the US know there are 2 Portlands (Maine and Oregon), but many don't know there are actually about 10+ Portlands in the states.

Angie in Customer Service had no details about an opening day... just referred me to what's published on the Events page and the Get Amped page.

I wish it were open ... I usually stay at the Embassy Suites when I'm there on business (last three weeks in a row), including next week. I checked it out, but -sigh-, not open.

I thought I was the only obsessed person who kept going to the mall just to see if the store is open or not. Glad to see I'm not alone.
If you're interested, let us know next time you're in town and we Portlander's could meet up with you for dinner. Andy, myself and, uh, shoot, forgot the 3rd person's name (sorry!) met a couple months ago and we all seemed to be moderately stable individuals
I figured we'd get an store opening email, but even so I have been tempted to drive down to the mall just to check.

I was there today... not open yet, and not even a hint of when. I took a look at the parking garages nearby, trying to think of where they might put the chargers. No idea, and no hint of any spots reserved for it.

Yes, definitely let's have another Tesla owners meet up. It was Dennis B. you're thinking about.
dlmorgan999, send me a private message and we'll exchange emails.

I'll definitely let you all know when I'm in town for more than a day. This week, I arrive late Tuesday and fly home Wednesday night. We have an office over at The Round in Beaverton, so it's a straight shot down SW Hall.
Next time.
Next time.
