New Service & Sales Center: Superior, CO

[dgpcolorado]

I was really hoping Colorado Springs would've been next on the list.

A Colorado Springs Service Center would also help out the folks in Albuquerque and Santa Fe (where Tesla sales and service are prohibited, thanks to the lobbying of the auto dealers).

However, I would guess that there are a lot of Teslas in the Denver/Boulder metro area north of I-70 and Superior will take some of the pressure off of Littleton. Fighting traffic across the metro area to get to Littleton is also a PITA (having done it; I now camp in Lakewood rather than stay with friends in Boulder when getting my car serviced).

I'm glad to here this will be open soon driving from FoCo through Denver traffic is a real pain.

With Colorado Springs being the second largest city in Colorado it made sense to me to build a SC here. We have quite a large Tesla population (at least seven in my neighborhood alone) even before the M3 explosion. And in the Colorado Springs Electric Vehicle Club we have 80 Teslas among our members (although a few do not live in Colorado Springs) which is just a fraction of the total number of Teslas down here. Maybe one day...

I suspect there's a significantly higher Tesla penetration in the Boulder area, given its political bent and wealth, compared with COS.

More work done - we have this second section, taller than the first in place now - first from about the same angle, then a better one to compare the sections and see more of the parking lot starting to take shape.

A couple shots from across the street this afternoon.

Nice to stumble upon this news. Perfect location for a SC for me.

Status update, photos taken on 12/5.

Exterior shell is pretty well completed now. Hard to believe this won't be open in Q1 2019, given how much progress they've made in the last 3 months.

 

[Chris Fellure]

Curious if there have been any updates on the estimated opening? I'd rather wait and have my car serviced at this location if possible.

The building is complete but there is no sign of Tesla yet. I'd like to take my vehicle here, too.

Stopped at the red light in front of the building, looks like all the exterior and interior construction is complete but no service equipment/tools inside yet. It looks like it is move-in ready for Tesla...

Tesla's Superior store still moving forward despite company's online pivot, town officials say

TL;DR: Construction essentially complete, ready for Tesla to move in. Town heard just a few days ago (prior to Tesla announcement about closing stores) that everything is still on track. Tesla has no comment.

 

[Ostrichsak]

They still need service centers.

Couple of photos of the finished building from the other day.

I noticed the lights were on inside the building last Friday morning. Now that the construction is complete, maybe Tesla is finally moving in...

 

[COCyclist]

Tesla sales guy in Littleton told me a couple weeks ago they got the keys to the building on Jan 1 and he understood electricians were supposed to be doing their thing in there. He didn't think there would ever be a sales showroom there, but it should be a service center.

I'm really looking forward to having this SC. I hope it opens soon !

It looks like the company that owns the building is selling it but Tesla still has the lease on it. Under highlights it even says "Long Term Lease to Fortune 500 EV Company" so I would think this does not change anything for Tesla. They'll just send the lease checks to the new owner of the property when it gets sold...
