Yeah, I've been linking that news in other threads! Also, for our friends in Poland and Slovakia, an earlier article on the subject mentioned that Tesla has also established new branches there, too!
I just visited your beautiful country for the first time in November. I kept looking out for a Tesla while I was there, thinking I might see a random 'import' somewhere. This is very exciting, congrats!
Tesla is expanding in Czech Republic and Iceland Quote: “According to its career website, Tesla is looking for several service and sale employees for a new store and service center in Reykjavik.”
Yep, there's 5 ads. They're supposed to move in at Krókháls 13, which is a complex of auto dealerships. I visit daily to look for any signs of them. My two best guesses are A) a new lot that there's currently some earth-moving equipment digging around on (although they may just be messing with utilities), and B) a seemingly unused garage and room on the side of the Kia dealership. But I really don't know. No clear sign yet. Still, if they're hiring, sales are probably only 1-3 months away.
I'm guessing these are new? Looking around Europe there seem to be a lot more grey dots in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and increased density in Spain, Portugal Ireland etc but I'm not 100% sure - it could be that I don't really look at the European map much
Really still need one in 1) Akureyri, 2) Somewhere from Höfn to Djúpivogur, and 3) Reykjavík (for those not starting in Reykjavík!). But yes, it's coming together!
If the sales numbers are good (which i think will be) they will for sure add more yes, probably lots of places (hotels,guesthouses) will be adding destination chargers as well
It’s official! Tesla officially launches in Iceland - Electrek I’m asking TMC to set up a separate sub-forum for Iceland.
In this video there is a black X towing a good looking trailer. Reminds me of mine! I would love to hear from that Tesla owner.
This is great news! Love that country and their commitment to clean energy. Maybe we can do a package purchase of Greenland and Iceland
The Tesla website now shows the new Service Center location in Reykjavik and the future locations of three Superchargers on the Ring Road. Great news for Tesla enthusiasts there! But there is a need for a Supercharger in Akureyri. It’s about 480km from Staður to Egilsstaðir. And someday one in the Hofn area on the South Coast. It’s 379 km from Egilsstaðir to Klaustur. In cold weather that could be challenging, and if you were towing a trailer even more challenging. Still, the three locations shown on Tesla’s map are a good start, and fortunately Iceland already has quite a few CCS chargers all around the country.
