UTC Store

mcornwell, you just made my day. I'm a reservation holder, but I haven't done a test drive yet. I've been wondering where I'll be able to do one. UTC is much better than Mission Valley. I hope they'll let me drop into La Jolla from the I-5 NB. I love that little stretch that loops around Soledad. Maybe we should found a north county owner's club. I'm in Olivenhain. See me on Zee Maps.
 
You're only a few miles away from me Dino, I'm in La Costa. ggr (of San Diego) should be getting his Sig any day, and Dadaleus (Solana Beach) is Sig eighty-something, so hopefully once they get theirs we can all meetup.

And it looks like we have more reservation holders in North County than the rest of San Diego, so yes, it was wise of Tesla to put the store in UTC.

What I find annoying (yet is typical of the Tesla web site) is the map shown on http://www.teslamotors.com/service :

http://www.teslamotors.com/tesla_theme/images/store/service_map.jpg?20120911

While the map legend indicates it includes service centers opening by March 1st (of some unspecified year assumed to be 2013), it doesn't include the service center in Raleigh NC, which shows up fine on their map by ZIP:

Tesla Stores and Service Centers for ZIP 27613

And on the detail page for that service center:

Raleigh Service Center | Tesla Motors

Where it states:

"Our Raleigh service center will open by March of next year."

Can we pass around the hat and gather funds for TM to get an actual legit web site hosting and content providing company? They obviously have proven numerous times in the past that they can't get their act together on that front.

Which is why most everyone is posting and debating meaningful content HERE and not THERE!

@dflye: Ummm, isn't this Raleigh?

My question is, is this a state where you can't have a dealership for some reason or some sort? The reasoning escapes me, but he sum of the law is that you cannot sell in the state without some pre-existing licenses or a dealership and so you can only "suggest" to purchase online. Sounds like this is a state that doesn't have that law and they will simply go this route as they've done in Texas. It was funny walking into the Tesla store in Houston and seeing a sign that said something to the affect of "We can't sell you a car because your state is dumb. But we can always help you buy it online!".

That really bothers me actually, who are these laws protecting? If someone wants to sell a new vehicle from a new company that has passed all the highway standards the other companies have to, why do states hate the income it brings? It's good for the economy I would think. Though, I am not a economist, I am in technology. :p

EDIT: That is the EXACT sign the is in Houston I believe.

I believe the law is there to protect the excellent customer service you get from your state-based dealer. Oh wait.... actually I don't know why the law is like that :)

That really bothers me actually, who are these laws protecting?

The theory is, they are protecting the consumer, in reality, they are protecting the existing ICE dealers meal ticket. They don't like the idea that a car mfr is avoiding the stealership sales model (and their associated middle man mark up), and selling directly to the public. I say "wake up", its 2012, and despite all of their grumblings and protests, Tesla will find a way to do this. They are opening their Service Center is Watertown by March 2013, that will take another argument away from the MA Dealers association (that they don't have local service).
