Tesla Has Plans To Open Its First True Standalone Store In Michigan

• https://insideevs.com by Steven Loveday

The Tesla situation in Michigan has been complicated for years. Not long ago, the Silicon Valley automaker was still banned from selling its cars in the state. However, a recent legal deal changed that. It allows people to buy a Tesla in Michigan, but the sales contract still must say it was bought in another state.

Since then, Tesla has opened its first Michigan Service Center that's actually located in the state. The automaker previously opened a service center for Michigan residents, but it's across state lines in Ohio.

The new Tesla Service Center is in the upscale community of Clarkston, Michigan, about 45 minutes north of Detroit. According to a report in Automotive News, Tesla plans to build a standalone gallery store next door to the Clarkston service facility.
