What happened to the Canary Wharf Store?

[Tintin825]

I know there was a global move from Tesla at one point to look to close stores, but does anybody know why exactly the Canary Wharf store closed? I would take a guess that it was a purely a cost/benefit analysis but I am curious. The people who worked there were always super friendly and pragmatic in what EVs (including non-Teslas) actually suit a person's requirements.

surplus to requirements many UK stores are heading the same way as Elon announced

the staff relocated to other SC

I'd imagine it was nothing specific to the Canary Wharf location - they announced at the start of the year that they were closing a lot of stores in order to focus on online sales (replacing test drives with "return in 7 days if not satisfied" like the online mattress stores), and that's what they did. The only showrooms left in London now are Westfield White City and Brent Cross.

I heard this from the guy doing my collection. All stores are closing and, I believe, the Canary Wharf lease was up for renewal so it wasn’t extended. Nothing especially strategic about its closure.
