New Charlotte Service Center / Showroom

[Drucifer]

In Mecklenburg County, you cannot move one stick of furniture into a space or have any non attached items (reception desk is probably attached and in the approved blueprints, but otherwise....) until you have a CO or TCO. They are very strict here about that. They will just walk out and leave and not inspect you until the items are removed.

The General Contractor should have known that and managed that.

Well the temporary certificate of occupancy process is rolling.

First one down, a couple to go.

Went by yesterday. Interesting not a single work vehicle on site but gate was open. The inside looks ready to me. They even have a sample chassis on display with dual motors.

Was told by a gentleman working at the supercharger that they have their TCO and are waiting on the final CO. However they're not going to open with just the TCO since if it lapsed for whatever reason they'd just have to close again.

That makes sense to me!

Drove by there yesterday, looks much cleaner inside and out. All the door decals are in place and general signage seemed to be about to be completely done.

The Model S's in the back were lined up horizontally now (not like the pictures posted earlier in the thread) directly behind the building.

Tesla Motors to open Charlotte sales and service center - Charlotte Business Journal

Maybe, Maybe, Maybe.:love:

I saw this in another thread and didn't want to go off-topic, so posting here...

This happened to a friend in Charlotte.

Rare problem - easy solution. I was hearing a clunking sound when I slowed down. It sounded almost like something was going to fall off the car. Not at high speeds but rather at very low speeds. Seemed to get louder at end of cycle (closest point to stopping). It was a rock in the rotor. Unable to see it. Tesla tech said I should get car back today. FYI, I was NOT the first customer to get service at the Charlotte Tesla Service Center. Guy says the Center is still not officially open. Will not be until they get loaners a and a few other things.

Darn! I wanted to bring them donuts for their first day open and meet a sales rep to get some searches done on inventory cars I might be able to purchase. I guess they are only coming in "as needed" until the official opening as I don't see vehicles parked there when I drive by. Glad though existing owners in the area might be able to get some things done locally rather than heading to Raleigh. I would imagine local Rangers are going to be the foundation for the service center's team, so it makes sense that some things they would be able to readily do and perhaps using the SC as a "work bay".

Cyclone. Keep us posted when opened. I am due my 1 year service. Don't want to drive to Raleigh.

Between you and me, even though they are not officially open, they have already begun servicing vehicles out of that location under their TCO.

Now I just need to get in touch with their sales team, but Online Sales has stuck to the party line of "no official date is available".

The Raleigh showroom is tiny. Tesla probably didn't want to invest too much money into installing a charging infrastructure there in the event that they move the showroom to a larger location in town. It's easy enough to pull a HPWC off the wall and walk away, not so much with a Supercharger.

The Raleigh showroom only has only a HPWC. I doubt they will have Superchargers at the showroom in Charlotte.

Passed by today, the Tesla (red) street sign is up. The gates were closed, so I did not stop by.

There was a display model already on the showroom floor and it looked like there was on 2 Model S's in the back parking lot.

I'll just leave this here:

I was told by the Raleigh service center that Charlotte is open.

I may have to try and stop by there tomorrow and have them look at inventory cars!

 

[muleferg]

Still waiting.

Today was a no-go. The parking lot barrier was up and locked when u went by at 1 pm.

I heard from a Tesla employee that they are shooting for late April.

Thanks. Now that I missed the quarter-end sale, I have no rush anymore. As long as they open in June so I can purchase an inventory car! Now I just have to anxiously wait.
