You're 100% correct. Growing pains for sure. I'd fly from Calgary to Vancouver to test drive a $20,000 car if I had to, but there's not much of a chance I'd buy from a local store/dealer if there was no where nearby to service the vehicle. Besides, they've already done two test drive events in Calgary and Edmonton in the past 12 months, so it's not like those that are really interested have to put too much effort into buying a $100,000 car.

Is it just me or is the Oakville Ontario "coming soon" store gone now? Are they no longer showing "coming soon" stores on their site?

Oakville/Burlington by QEW makes a lot of sense. Anyone have an idea of where that will be and when it's opening?

I attended the "Tesla Weekend Social" event for owners today at the Vancouver Robson St store (I posted a short comment about the event here)
Just FYI: in the short talk given by a Tesla employee, they briefly mentioned that the new Vancouver store & service centre on Fir St & W. 4thAve is expected to open in May or June of this year. 18,000 sq ft location, apprently interior construction well underway. I haven't been by there in a while but will take a look next time I'm nearby.
As I had heard previously, they also confirmed existing locations (Robson store & Powell St service centre) will both still remain after the Fir St location opens.

forgot to mention* ...
we were also told that the new Fir/4th Ave store will have 50 parking spaces in the underground parkade. (no more jockeying several cars around the tiny Powell St lot to get your car after a service).

Yup - look in the bottom left corner of each post where it normally says "Report". Your posts will also have "Edit" and "Delete" options.

Nope! We never really hear until someone spots the construction or a building permit. Either they're quietly moving forward with this project... or they aren't.
Progress at the Fir and 4th store/SC in Vancouver. Pictured below is the part of location facing Fir St. When I passed by the portion along 4th ave, I could smell fresh paint/epoxy drying, and noticed that they had likely just finished painting the store's floor. The front door was open as a result, I'm guessing, with a security guard standing by. Looks like late May or June could be a reality. Will pop by next week to see if there's more progress.

Although i
Although not clear what it is - it could be a research office related to the battery research at Dal.

It looks like you're right! Based on the building and the location it seems like Tesla will have a research office here.
