Showroom - Mount Gravatt, Qld

[moa999]

Tesla has acquired the old Southside Toyota site in Mount Gravatt, South-East Brisbane.
1922 Logan Road, Upper Mount Gravatt

Next to a Coles and the big Westfield nearby.

Alterations to a Tesla showroom have begun.
Per Nathan on TOA.

Close to the Pacific Motorway and has a massive forecourt that Toyota used to use as a used car lot, so I'd think Superchargers might be a strong possibility (it's only a few km from the Brisbane South/ Coorparoo dot on the current maps).
Can't find any council docs.

Could be a decent sized showroom, service/collision centre, and delivery centre in the same place. The current facility in Fortitude Valley was great for Tesla as a luxury car vendor but does not scale to Tesla as a volume car dealer.

Superchargers would a certainty. I can recommend "The Whisk" pastry cafe on the street behind there. Worth visiting when killing time during a charging session.

I mistakenly did a quick Google Map search last night for Southside Toyota and found what I thought was this site, but now realise that must've been their new location and wasn't 1922 Logan Road I was looking at!

The site looks huge, I couldn't really tell if it was that much bigger than their other sites, but a quick google maps check shows it as ~3x bigger than any of the others!

Location (both in regards to nearby facilities, and highway) would be great for superchargers.

Weirdly enough I can't find anything about it on the Brisbane City Council DA search website, or in council meeting documents (so far).

 

[moa999]

Agree it's a massive site.. and 9 or 12 superchargers along Logan Road would look great.
And being next door to a minor mall and opposite a Westfield I'd think a good chance for plentiful power supply

As it used to be a dealership, and Tesla in their usual way are probably only making minimal exterior changes, it may not need a full DA.
And Superchargers are just large and glorified PowerPoints in an existing carpark.
(Similar to the lack of DAs for Chatswood and Elsternwick)

On the Superchargers it should be noted that Melbourne Elsternwick which has a similarly large forecourt hasn't had Superchargers installed and from a thread comment won't, but equally it isn't as well sited as Mount Gravatt.

Dang I wish we can get 9 or 12 supercharger stalls here in NSW

Macquarie is 10, Broadway is 8 and both are often full on weekends.
I'd expect the proposed Sydney East and Central sites to be at least the same size when they finally reveal themselves.

Broadway is 8 and both are often full on weekends.

As is Goulburn.

Would be good if we can get delivery of our ordered Y from there.

 

[Lewdannie]

This is fantastic news for me as I live at Holland Park and my daughter works at the nearby Maccas .
Also hoping I can get delivery of my Y there.
I wonder if the Coorparoo Supercharger will proceed now?

 

[Chuq]

The "Coorparoo supercharger" isn't a Coorparoo site - it's a generic "Brisbane South" marker. They often appear on the map before Tesla knows exactly where they're going to end up. It could be anywhere in the general area (including this location).

Some updated photos from Dennis on ToA forum.
No sign of superchargers.

Wouldn't be so keen.

I suspect they will be like Sydney Kirrawee they will be Tesla staff/service only, typically used for service or delivery cars before the customer collects.

But it's otherwise a big forecourt, and Tesla doesn't do used sales globally, so there is hope they use that space for Superchargers eventually.

More photos. Looks close.

Reports on FB that the showroom is now open.
Service Dept to follow in a fortnight or so.

The 8 Destination Chargers are not for public usage

And service now seemingly open as well.
