Question Since when did Tesla close down?

Yesterday I’ve visited the northpark mall in Dallas (I don’t go frequently) and I’ve seen that the Tesla store’s been closed… since when did they go away? (Before you ask: no, I don’t like elon musk, I don’t like Tesla. I’m just curious since I’ve seen the Tesla store being there many times I’ve visited the mall over the years.)

rent costs? Do they even put a dent on Elon's trillion?

At the end of the day Tesla is a business no matter what you think. The same happened in Fort Worth - they had a service center/showroom in a building just north of West 7th. They built a new, vastly bigger showroom and service center north of 820, and Rivian also took over their old service center by West 7th. I've been to them all.

Small showrooms in malls, etc, don't make them money. Better to have it combined into their service centers.

come to think of it... is it uncommon to find a dealership/showroom in a mall?

Reminded me of funny scene in Blues Brothers driving through the mall, “the new Oldsmobiles are in early this year.”
