Canadian Stores and Service Centers

[SMPL]

And the locations looks a bit industrial - are there any fast food places nearby assuming that it will have SuperChargers? I believe they are very close to a Timmie's warehouse but I don't know that there is a retail location there.

Great location (thought it was across the street) tons of parking space and can be a completely modern space. I think you guys hit the jackpot

Can't wait to see it done !!!!!

(Assuming you're all right)

Nice find. Where exactly is that location?

225 wyecroft road in Oakville

FYI - Tranmere is now moved to 420 Ambassador Dr Unit #B, Mississauga, ON L5T 2J3. I'll be there on Friday. I'm sure it's a temporary place until Oakville is turned up.

The shop in Mississauga is massive FYI

To allow for a better flow of future servicing due to Model III sales, it's kind of a shame that this store gets folded in with Oakville...as John said, it's a nice large facility.

I agree that it is disappointing that Oakville will be a replacement rather than an additional SC. I normally go to Lawrence and they seem jammed up as appointments need to be made months in advance. That will only get worse if Oakville replaces Mississauga as I assume that more folks in the western part of the GTA will come to Lawrence as it will now be their closest SC. Plus every day sees more Teslas on the road.

Technically, Oakville is a full Sales & Service facility like Lawrence St...but I agree, a 3rd service facility to cover off the GTHA would be great!

Just one in Ottawa would be even better...

I think the jury's still out on that. I've had a few conversations with staff there and they all recognize the need for more, not the same or less service space especially with the Model X out and Model 3 coming. They are all pitching to keep Ambassador alive. It has more shop floor space than Lawrence and is set up with very nice offices and waiting areas now. Would be silly to let that all go to waste.

Agree. We need one urgently.

Touche' Doug! ;-)

Not everything is ideal though. They don't have drains in the wash bay.
Cars are washed over a large rubber mat with sills around it to keep the water in. Then they vacuum out the water with a shop vac.

Agree with you Doug. BMW location on Hunt Club closed for ? renovations. Maybe good location for Tesla.

 

[3s-a-charm]

I understand there are a lot of "Eastern Canadians" on here but has anyone in Calgary seen any info on the Alberta service Centre? Hoping for some nosy Tesla owners to do some similar sleuthing

 

[RAM_Eh]

I have seen the drawings for the new Oakville location - Dorval and QEW. Main board has a capacity of 1600A @ 600V. Lots of spare space for future Superchargers????

 

[wayner]

So it looks like they will have some frontage on the SSR and QEW which is good for visibility.

 

[Blazing Whisper]

Nice find! Great to see the progress and the spare capacity. The location matches perfectly given these Street Views:

May 2016
Google Maps

July 2016

Between May and July 2016 the current location looks to be in the process of demolition.

They also do not have adequate charging infrastructure at Ambassador Road either, but both of these issues are relatively easily dealt with.

More service centres are needed to be sure. Just the same, they won't sell many cars from the Ambassador Road location. Oakville on the other hand....
