Upcoming Memphis Store

Do showrooms and service centers typically have publicly accessible Superchargers? Because that would also be a good place for another Supercharger location.

Came here to share this!

My understanding is they did in the past but they are trying not to going forward. The service manager said something to the effect of there not being pubic chargers at this dealership/showroom, but that some would be available nearby at some point in the future.

Any updates on delivery capability?

Any updates on delivery capability?

I have not heard anything. My understanding is that when Knoxville started delivering cars, people received text messages that their delivery location had been updated. So until we start hearing the same about Memphis, I would not expect to be able to take delivery here yet.

That’s what happened for me. Upon ordering my M3, it was scheduled for Nashville delivery but then later I received the text message “Tesla Update - We are pleased to share that our new location in Knoxville at West Town Mall is anticipated to be open for deliveries soon. We have updated your pick up location to Knoxville.”

Update from Matt Vinson, Memphis Service Manager, on the Memphis Tesla Owner FB group...

The service department at the new location will open on Tuesday 07 September 2021.

"Sales is expected to be ready to go by October."

New photos from Service Manager Matt Vinson shared to the Memphis Tesla FB group today. His comment states that he believes the location is still on track to start deliveries in early October.

That's so much nicer than the existing site south of Memphis. I assume they'll be closing the old one when the new one is "fully operational"?

I stopped by today, at 550. There were 2 guys in the back closing up. The door says service closes at 5PM so I didn't bother them. It also says sales is open 7 days per week and closes at 7PM. The front/sales area is as pictures above, there are still empty spaces where desks and computers should go. There is a model X with the doors open/up in the middle of the sales space. There are no visible/accessible Superchargers but there are several wall chargers back by the loaners. Lastly, behind the store there is a 2nd, very large, fenced in area to store/deliver cars.

This place is going to be huge.

I believe they closed the old location a few weeks ago and moved everything to the new location. I believe there was a week or two where service was not available in Memphis.

I'm surprised they don't have a piece of painters tape over the sales hours for the time being.

FWIW, I talked to my SA yesterday when I picked up my M3 in Nashville. He mentioned they had hoped to be doing deliveries by October, but are running behind. He mentioned it wouldn't be until closer til the end of the calendar year.

Tesla’s website shows one to be installed downtown next year. I believe Matt, the Service Manager, said another location would be going in somewhere near the store but it is not represented on Tesla’s website yet. As large as the lot is, I’m surprised they don’t put one out front, along Germantown Parkway.

I think that is just the city center of Memphis. You can zoom in on many other ’to be’ chargers and they are often just city centers. Not sure why sometimes they put neighborhood specific markers vs city center.
