Just realized, why the heck would sales be closed on the weekends???

I was just going to comment about this. I wonder if there's any staff left to open this place.

I wonder if this service / sales center is still going to open with all the recent layoffs. That will be a major bummer, if not.

I saw the lower gates to the supercharger lot open a few days ago. I’ll pass by it later today so hopefully something is being done there. The site has been quiet for a few months now.

So went by there around 1pm. Dead as a doornail. Site might as well be abandoned.

Yeah, I go by somewhat regularly, it hasn't changed recently from what I can tell except for the Supercharger getting it's transformer installed.

It's been at least month since there's been any significant changes that I can recall, if not longer.

If Tesla for some crazy reason decides to not open this location, I think that will hurt sales in the area. Not a good look to abruptly change growth plans.

I know. Sigh. Elon seems to think that there will always been more customers regardless of Teslas image. I’m not going to outright criticize him since he’s the one running a giant successful corporation but geez sometimes I gotta wonder.

I really do hope they eventually open it - tons of Teslas in the area, lots of traffic on this road and splits the difference in distance between Carlsbad and San Diego locations.

I think the next area to look for for a service center would be further south in the San Diego or Chula Vista area. Could see one in the Poway area, too.

I could be imagining things, but I passed by over the weekend and noticed quite a few boxes in what I believe will be the sales area, that I don't believe were there in weeks past.

Could be a sign that they are still planning on opening this location (eventually). I mean, if nothing else, they should open up the Supercharger since it looks ready to go.

Yes, the supercharger has been ready to go (it seems) since SDG&E installed the transformer April 28th, but that was about the same time the Supercharger team got canned, so probably collateral damage there. So maybe 40 days late and counting on the site opening.

I did notice a huge new temporary storage box in the same parking lot as the bottom 6 superchargers last week, so maybe they are finalizing the sales/service center which has been seemingly dormant for a couple of months.
