New Service Ft. Lauderdale Center Coming

[JayJ]

Driving on Federal Highway near Oakland Park tonight and saw a new Service Center building under construction. Previously thought the location was going to be a big box retail store or something like that but now there’s a Tesla sign on a it and a Service entrance sign.

That used to be a Best Buy... 1901 N Federal Highway, right? Strange thing is, the Best Buy site says it still is! I called the BB number and it says they're open (though I didn't talk to a human). Weird, overlapping universes or something.

Correct. The former Best Buy on Federal Highway. My brother lives across the street and took a pic last night:

Ah, oh, ok, I see what's what! The address has been reported wrong elsewhere. It's *not* 1901, it's 2829 (N. Federal Hwy). It's the oooooold Best Buy building, not the *current* Best Buy building (which is 1901). Whew! I was afraid Best Buy had closed!

I can see the confusion. It's in a building that "used to be Best Buy" -and- the facade has changed shape: The old facade at 2829 had a sloped roof, while the 1901 building has the rectangular pop up like the photos show -- which means they changed the facade at 2829 away from the slope to a rectangle pop up, so the two buildings now look very much the same, and they're close-ish (9 blocks apart).

Aaaand, yes, the Tesla site lists 2829 as the address.

I'll be out there in a couple weeks, this is cool. Now if they have some customer-usable superchargers there I would be totally excited.

It appears it might be open now. When I went by there yesterday there were lots of cars in the lot and the door over the service sign was open.

I’m in FTL for the month of feb. I emailed their parts dept. they are opening in 2 days, Monday. They are in the process of moving from the other location nearby this wknd.

Sounds great, wasn’t sure if this was replacing the Dania Beach facility or in addition to.

Any customer-usable superchargers?

I went through there today. There are chargers but all say Authorized Vehicles Only. Assume they are for charging new vehicles only before delivery.
