Great news for Gainesville-area folks! It looks like Tesla will be building a service and delivery center in Gainesville! The Gainesville City Commission just approved the project and a zoning change for the center at its July 20 meeting. The address is 2403 NE Fifth Terrace, which is right in the area where all the other car dealerships are located. There needs to be a second reading of the zoning change request, after which the developers will submit their development plan for approval. If all goes well, they expect to start turning dirt in November, with a completion date of the third quarter of 2024. It will be wonderful not to have to drive to Jacksonville to pick up a Tesla or to have it serviced when the mobile service isn't appropriate.
I first heard about this from the publication The Independent Florida Alligator (click the link for the article). I also watched the City Commission meeting to verify the publication's information (The Alligator got the address wrong in their article). If anyone also wants to watch the presentation at the City Commission meeting, you can watch it here. Go about five hours into the meeting to see the specific presentation on the Tesla service/delivery center.
