Tesla Motors is planning store at Scottsdale Fashion Square

Tesla, of Palo Alto, Calif., last week requested a use permit for a 3,081-square-foot store at the downtown mall.
Tesla operates like a traditional retailer, the company explained in its project narrative: “We’re much more like an Apple store than an Audi dealership.”
The Tesla store would be in the former Pottery Barn store near Starbucks. The space is at the street level north of Camelback Road on the east side of the wing that links the food court and Nordstrom.
As many as four cars would be in the store and an additional six cars could be displayed in a second-level parking garage.
Testdrives at mall
Customers could order a car or test drive the new Model S sedan that is scheduled to be on the road this summer.
