I have definitely noticed this. I was really surprised when I heard about the Palo Alto store opening because just a week before I was driving down El Camino in the Sunnyvale area and saw a building that had two Tesla's parked out front and with a banner that had the Tesla logo and said "Coming Soon". For those that know the area, Sunnyvale is maybe only 10-15 miles south from Palo Alto. Not to mention there already is a Tesla store in Santa Clara (Santana Row) which is less than 10 miles south of Sunnyvale. Also, the location of the store was right in the heart of where all the other dealerships where (Toyota, GM, etc). So just in this 25 mile strip along El Camino there will be 3 Tesla stores! This will definitely be testing the depths of demand here in the Bay Area.
Just to be clear, Sunnyvale is going to be a service center, not a store. There's currently no service center in the South Bay.
