OOOOOOOO an unnamed “major electric motor vehicle manufacturer.” I wonder who that could be!

I love the building render with the red trim and the word BRAND across the front.

Things I noticed:

Unfortunately it looks like someone forgot to remove Tesla's name from the plans, lol

And it looks like 2 Superchargers on the backside. Sorry, that's all I care about

I wonder what this means for the Eden Prairie location? They put quite a bit of money into renovating EP. Maybe EP will become exclusively service?

I have an unverified claim that the EP location has been for sale for a while.

If that's the case, they're planning a new location near City Hall

Another mention of the Bloomington MN “Tesla” sales/service center today:
Axios Twin Cities
No specific mention of Tesla in this case, but the permit info from the earlier posts seems to confirm “Tesla”.
I have also heard that the Eden Prairie sales/service location is going away (it is really small and very little room for parking), so maybe this new Bloomington location is a direct replacement (they are only a few miles apart).
