I dropped by the Chicago Tesla store today and talked to Kevin for a bit. They have been made to run through all sorts of hoops to get the permits for the build, but it's just about done (maybe a week or so). From there it'll be 3 weeks or so to do the work. Nothing much to report on the interior work, as it's mostly covered in plastic and such. I'm sure they will set a date for the opening once the permits are done and they have control over the schedule (hopefully early-mid Sept).

I also got to see a 2010 that was in the shop, waiting for delivery. It was my first time seeing one in person and I was impressed.

Fantastic. Of course I was hoping for earlier, but it's good to know we haven't missed anything.

I don't get downtown much anymore, and when I do it's usually via the train. The Tesla store is a bit of a hike from the train station through questionable neighborhoods (I'm sure the people living there would disagree with me), so I haven't had the opportunity to stop by. It's good to hear there is Tesla staff there, though. I might make an effort to stop by.
 
Hello everyone. My name is Seneca Giese and I will be working in sales alongside Kevin Daly. I am extremely excited of the opportunity and can't wait to start on Monday. I come from Continental Nissan whom I have worked with for 6 years. I am an avid fan of automobiles, technology and motor sports. I look forward to meeting those that will be attending the grand opening party.

It is a long and grueling process of acquiring a construction permit from the city of Chicago. We finally received it on Thursday and construction has started.

Keep an eye on the Chicago store page for opening date info:
Tesla Motors - Tesla Stores

I will be updating the Chicago Twitter page with pics of the build-out:
Tesla Chicago (Tesla_Chicago) on Twitter

I am told we are 6 to 8 weeks away... end of November.

Thanks for that Update Seneca...be sure to get the invites out ASAP as it'll take some 'doing' for me to get a flight up there for the Grand Opening.

We'll be working on setting a realistic opening date once more construction is completed. We can't do it just yet due to possible construction delays, etc. Thank you for your patience everyone!
