Tesla will open its first Australian stand alone store in the third quarter.
The two-story retail facility will be on Martin Place in the Sydney CBD, housing display vehicles and a design studio. It will also sell Tesla merchandise and it will be possible to take test drives from an underground carpark connected to the store.
The convention-defying company operates its own retail operations globally, so customers deal directly with Tesla employees every step of the way.
There are already service centres and stores in St Leonards, NSW, and in Victoria; and permanent displays are placed at two shopping centres.
To extend the potential reach of its all-electric vehicles, Tesla opened a free ‘supercharger station’ at Port Macquarie – enabling Model S owners to venture more than three hours from home. A 30-minute charge will add roughly 270km to the car’s range.
