Marco found plans for the new Tesla Tallahassee Center. Looks like it’s off of Tennessee St near this pin

About time. The Pensacola center could use a break for sure.

Can't come soon enough. I want to be the first customer to get my car fixed!

I drove by today. The lot is cleared and fenced off. Looks like construction is about to begin.

I actually drove by it today as well. I was amazed how much they cleared. Entire lot is about 10 feet dug out. They're really building a custom setup. I can't wait!

Hopefully someone can keep this thread updated with construction progress. Is it possible someone from Tesla that might have some info on when it should be open and who could be contacted to schedule a service and tour of the new building? I don't live nearby so I can't easily check regularly.

Hey, good progress. I'm hoping it's open within a few months!

Awesome. I want to be the first customer for the service center. Need some work done.

 

[tallypwner]

Any progress updates? How can I contact them?

 

[Spottedsharks]

Probably a mid- to late summer opening.

I hope Tesla's economic slowdown and layoffs don't affect the service center. I want to get my car fixed!

As an aside I've been looking forward to the new Wawa's opening in town to try out the Superchargers there and they seem to be dragging their feet too. It's beautiful weather, go build stuff boys!

I spoke with a Tesla employee that was showing the new Model 3 in Governors Square Mall on Sunday. She said the new Tallahassee store/service center should be open by August 2024.

While we love our Model Y, Tesla service is deplorable. It's "roadside assistance" is an oxymoron at best. Road service is only provided within 50 miles of a service center, which leaves the many Tesla owners in Tallahassee out in the cold.

My wife recently experience a simple flat tire. She contacted Tesla's "roadside assistance", supposedly included on our 18-month-old model Y, only to be told that the only available service option was to have the car towed to the Jacksonville Service Center. Give me a break, it's just a friggin flat tire for God's sake!

I'm re-thinking our purchase, which is our second Tesla. The only news that would convince me that it may be premature to trade in our Model Y for a more easily serviced plug-in hybrid is an announcement that a Tallahassee service center is about to open. I checked, and found that the site of the former Saturn dealership won't be officially permitted before July 12th. And, how many months thereafter will it take to actually provide a service facility?

Don't get me wrong, Elon Musk makes great cars, and, he can send people into space. All I'm asking is that he makes it possible to easily change a simple flat tire!

Service is a mess. They need to expand that faster than Supercharging networks.

It's good to have a secondary road assistance service like AAA. On longer road trips I even carry a Modern Spare tire because, like you said, it's only a friggin' flat tire.
