This location strikes me as excellent, not least because it is in easy walking distance for me.:biggrin: The Collection, however, stands as one of the tiny number of really excellent dealerships, IMHO. I have dealt with them for more than twenty years for Maserati, Porsche, Audi and Jaguar. Every time I dealt with them the experience was superb. Were dealerships all of this level the Tesla model would be less disruptive IMHO. I have not bought Aston, Lotus or Ferrari from them but friends have.
My guess, based only on people I personally know, is that Tesla will find that location to be a very positive experience. There are many buyers form The Collection who make impulse purchases and are attracted to new technology too. The availability of local service will certainly be a strong influence to increase sales in this area.
Frankly, my biggest question is the amount of time this location will consume between formal permit applications and actual commencement of business. Coral Gables has made soem major improvements in building processes but still has some of the most detailed code requirements to be found; none of them are opaque so it is fairly easy to define all the requirements in advance. That said, I cannot imagine a Kingsland, GA-style almost lightning-fast process.

I second your thanks to Ethan.

Is there any insight to the actual physical size for the Tesla lease? It seems quite small for the demands of the area unless there will be a Collection-style multi-floor arrangement, a separate car storage facility, or both.
