Dallas Tesla Gallery confirmed

[pete8314]

The service center has been taking care of the drive events so far, not sure if this will pass over to the store once it's opened, but either way, if you start asking about price, they'll direct you to the website.

Here's the invite that I received this morning:

I see.....so could I be your "friend".

Nice to see at least you can test drive the car. That's a huge factor in a lot of purchases I think.

PM me your email address and I'll forward you the email. I had a call from Tesla last night (for the RSVP I completed for my wife, but just put my cell on it) asking if she wanted to book a test drive, as they didn't see her name as a registered owner, so the invite is open to all current and potential owners.

I had a call/message from Tesla as well.

Anyone done any advance reconnoitering to see where the store is? The CA call said on the 1st floor next to Dillards.

No idea if they have a garage section/bank of chargers yet.

I am not a mall regular in general, and Northpark is quite a trek from my normal routes.

Wow! I got squat.

 

[pete8314]

Wow! I got squat.

I only got a call because I registered my wife (with my cellphone number), who didn't appear on their database as an owner. So technically, my wife got the call

Jerry, you just need to get out more in DFW....
you've been spending too much time in Nebraska
<<grin>>;-)

LOL. I've been to four Texas car shows in the last three weeks. I don't know how I could get out more

I had an email and a call about my RSVP for Friday's gallery opening, asking what time slot I wanted to test drive a Model S. It was a bit funny. What time is everyone going to be there? I was told there is not a special section for us to park, and Elon may or may not be there for the opening.

so it seems like its a come and go thing. how serious about the Elon thing? I would seriously move my schedule around to be there since I live in the metroplex.

 

[jerry33]

I am targeting 16:00.

Likewise. The whole thing seems kinda of random and pointless, not sure why there's a need to RSVP when the store is basically open during normal mall hours, presumably to everyone. Right now I'm planning on getting there around lunchtime.

I want to be there for the actual opening, so I plan on arriving there first thing in the morning at 9:00 or 10:00 am.

The gallery is right next to Bath and Body Works and Starbucks. Parking at Dillards will be closest to the gallery.

There are also 7 HPWC and Tesla parking spots at the parking garage near Victorias Secret, on Floor 0 (1 level underground). You can get there by turning into the mall from NorthPark Rd. (NOT Park Lane).

Here are the 7 HPWC's and Tesla parking spots. I took this picture about a week ago. Currently there is a bit more TESLA signage around the parking spots as well as construction tape. However, I still did not see any "Tesla Only" signs near the spots.

They are located on Floor-0 at the parking garage indicated by the purple pin on the map.

Would love to meet for th grand opening but have plans the whole day. Please take tons of pictures!!!

Good:

Bad: (the HPWC in the garage is more like a LPWC with blink-like amps - but on the plus side, there is no additional charge after buying the required $100+K car with twin chargers. Area visitors wanting a quick top-up before heading to the nearest supercharger aren't going to get it quick here. I only tried the left-most of 7 spots, maybe the others put out 80A? I noticed only one or two out of 7 cars actually plugged in although the spots were all taken.)

 

[pete8314]

I was going to post my photos, but they're basically the same, so not much point!

It was busy, the usual mix of tire-kickers and people actually interested (plus a bunch of owners, of course). My wife and I were given a couple of Tesla polo's for showing up. There's food as well, I don't recommend the brownies, however.

Fun to visit any Tesla store, but the RSVP thing sent to owners is, as you indicate, pointless as there is no event or anything of the kind that I am aware of. I do enjoy most looking at the skateboard whenever I visit.

Here is a quick video of highlights from the grand opening of the Northpark gallery.
