The Tesla Careers web page now lists a Service Manager for Naples, Florida reporting to Dania Beach.
There is no indication when or if this will happen, but it supports the rumor of a "pop-up" sales and service location coming to Naples.

Hi Mike,I'm pretty sure this is coming soon, though I don't know why Tesla has not opened a Service Center in Sarasota since that is where A LOT of MS owners are located on the Gulf Coast.

A couple of months ago, the manager of the service center in Tampa told me that he had been assigned the task of getting a service center opened in Naples by the end of the year.
It is an absolute joke how they've teased a Miami Service Center location for almost a year now and now we hear that Naples will be up and running by year's end.
During the sales process my Owner Adviser said not to worry about the new Ranger Transportation fees up to Tampa, that they'd be waived since a SC was coming to the area sometime in the future. Still trying to get them to put it in writing.
Hi Scott,
I would be very surprised if ongoing Ranger fees were being waived.
More than likely what your Owner Adviser was trying to say is that a new Service Center will be located not too far from where you live. Therefore, you won't have to drive to Tampa or incur Ranger fees to Tampa for service in the future because it would be a short drive for you to go to a nearby Service Center.

The new service center in Naples replaced a door handle on my car last week.
Apparently this is a remote, or satellite extension of Dania Beach. The address is the same as a storage rental business. The technician came to me like a Ranger, I don't think we can take our cars to this Naples address. If it is something he can't handle in the field, he will arrange for the car to be taken to Dania Beach.
Buddy Hager is the Naples service technician. He was a certified master technician with Audi of Naples. He seemed very knowledgeable about the Tesla and confident in what he was doing. I was very pleased with the service. Below is a partial screenshot of my invoice. The bill was $0, no ranger charge to have this done in Naples.

Larry, I was told something similar by the Service Advisor in Dania Beach recently. On the day of the recent club meet up at the Plantation supercharger grand opening, I asked the advisor at Dania Beach if he knew anything about when a service center would be opening In Naples. He told me that until Naples service center opens, Naples & Bonita would not be charged ranger fees from Dania Beach.
Hi Scott,This is exactly what I was told during a test drive at my office. They refuse to put it in writing though, or clarify if its for all situations or just some.
