tesla reported Saturday that it has signed a lease with the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group to open a huge sales and service center in an industrial park in the city, the largest in China.
The Tesla center, with a size of 8,000 square meters, will open in mid-2024 in Xin Park, under development in Shanghai’s Pudong district, according to a statement on the Chinese company’s official Wechat account on Saturday.
Tesla, the world’s largest electric car maker, has nearly 300 stores in China.
Reuters reported last year that it was considering closing some showrooms in shopping malls in cities such as Beijing.
It also plans to put more emphasis on stores in less expensive suburban locations that can also provide repairs, as the company works to meet Chief Executive Elon Musk’s goal of improving service for customers, according to the Reuters report.
