I was browsing the Irvine permit portal and came across a new permit that mentions Tesla as the tenant. I thought it might be a Supercharger at first but upon closer inspection it looks like it might be a Service Center. The address is 2801 & 2803 Barranca Parkway, Irvine CA which is across the street from the Tustin Legacy. The permit calls for an office and warehouse, along with parking lot modifications. The building size is 57,986 SF and the lot size is 5.07 AC.
Wow, this would not be a bad addition. Closer to the MV one, but made Costa Mesa my preferred, this would definitely take over for my preferred location.
Would be a great move, definitely my go-to location. Also I wouldn't mind superchargers here. I always wondered why their Lake Forest SC didn't try to get a place on the existing "Tesla" street. Or maybe they tried.
That’s cool. Elon did say not that long ago that they were going to be expanding service centers. I haven’t heard anything since then and wondering is he was saving the announcement for the Shareholders/Battery Day events. Something to start watching for. Given all the Teslas I see around where I’m at and it’s kind of a drive to one I have been hoping to get one closer to where we live. Had heard rumors a few years back one was coming but nothing materialized.
3 service centers so close together doesn't make sense. My guess is one or two of the existing ones would get consolidated here if this was a SC. Based on the Irvine job openings... I'd say this is a Solar / Home Energy dispatch center. 13 Irvine jobs
Looks like this location just got permits for 2 Superchargers and 6 non-superchargers EVSE stations. Still not sure what exactly they are building here but the addition of Superchargers could maybe indicate that it is a service facility? I know the Costa Mesa SC has a supercharger as well for use by Tesla Service
Their Irvine listed jobs now include Service Advisor and automotive service tech. The super charger inside seems like a pretty hot lead. This looks a lot like a service center. This has to result in the closure of the costa mesa center or lake forest... right?
Drove by today and took some noticed the Tesla signage up so I stopped by to take some pictures. I think I can confirm this will be a service center based on the fact that there's a Service entrance on the right side of the building. There's also what appears to be a single Supercharging cabinet in the parking lot along with many HPWCs. Looking forward to a new Service Center in Irvine.
