Store/Service/Delivery Center - Central Jersey - Lawrenceville NJ

[DavT]

We didn't realize it's right beside the Porsche dealership. Drove by last night by chance, as we were visiting ShakeShack.

It looks to be nearly open. Signs are up, lobby is small, but has a few tables/chairs, art work, lightning, and desks. Not all arranged in a final form. Service area had a couple cars in it, and people were cleaning up. Lots of new equipment and probably 100+ tires stacked up in different parts of hte building. Also around 4 active AC chargers, but surprisingly did not see ANY DC chargers outside.

The part about it maybe not be a sales location, could be valid. The lobby would fit a MAX of 3 cars, probably more like 2 comfortably... So there is that as well.

Here's hoping it opens this week. I want to take my car to service for a little noise it has. Waiting for this location so I don't have to go to Springfield or Cherry Hill.

This location is definitely opening soon. I drove by it yesterday. Exterior of the building looks like it's completely finished. Inside, I could see furniture that's been setup and also some kiosks/tables with video screens. There were people inside who appeared to be regular employees (i.e. not construction workers doing building work), I'm guessing either new SAs being trained or possibly management personnel getting the showroom setup.

I'm leaning towards this being a sales location in addition to a service center. It looks like a sales area in the front of the building with the furniture that's in there and it seems to be separated from the service area that's in the back of the building. I agree that the showroom area isn't huge, but it's bigger than it first appears. I think you could fit 3 vehicles in there pretty easily. It is strange though, that Tesla shows it only as an SC on their website, maybe the service area will open first with the sales area to follow?

In any case, I'm pumped that we're getting a location in Central NJ.

Thanks for the updates, locals! (As a PA resident right across the river, this is going to be amazing!)

As others have noted, if this truly becomes a “sales” location, wouldn’t they be exceeding their current permissible state-imposed limit? Does that mean a current “sales” location must close? Is there some language in the recent $5000 NJ EV rebate that’s allowing for this change?

The Tesla website now shows the location as an active service center. It appears as an option in the app for service appointments.

I drove by again today. I could clearly see vehicles parked inside the showroom. It can’t be much longer before it opens at this point.

 

[jdccar]

Yep. Just made a service appointment. First available was 1/22, so should be open at least by then!

 

[StockSoul]

I made a service appt. for 1/21!

 

[Luso7]

it's funny - I just went to make a mock appointment just to see the schedule on the app -- the earliest it allowed me to make one was JAN 29th, and the existing location at cherry hill had one several days sooner. this location is already getting more demand than cherry hill

 

[jdccar]

Maybe it’s all the mock appointments ;^)

Thanks for the pics!

Well I guess we now have conclusive proof that this will be a sales location in addition to service. Still haven’t been able to confirm if NJ passed a new law to allow Tesla to have additional locations, or it they’re shutting down one of the north jersey locations in order to open this one.

They're probably turning the Short Hills mall location into a Gallery the same way they did with Garden State Plaza.

My pleasure I live 3 miles from the Mercer Mall. I am not a Tesla car owner yet, but this and the upcoming $5000 rebate give me the incentive to go for a Model 3.

A $5000 rebate coming? Am I missing something?

I drove by the Lawrence facility today; it looked like mechanics were working on cars in the bays, but the sales area was still closed.

Both houses passed the bill by a wide margin today so looks like it will happen.

I spoke with the folks at the Tesla service center near Philly this week and they said it should be open by the end of the month. I drove by the other day and it looks ready to rock.

Good! I almost got a Toyota RAV4 last month. I can now seriously consider the Model 3

 

[ephysics]

I stopped there today. They are now open for sales and service! Enjoy.
