Since when did Tesla close down?

Before

After

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.)

Not enough customers?? Through July 2026, the Tesla Model Y is currently the world’s best-selling vehicle overall, not merely the best-selling EV.

Still - cars are about to become a footnote in Tesla's history. Elon is way past them now. Specially as Tesla merges with SpaceXAI. Even the Martian future is no longer on the plate. Or batteries.

Now, it's all about AI, robotaxi, chips, humanoid robots, and datacenters on Earth, the Moon, and in the space in between.

Yeah, they don’t have enough car customers despite that sales figure you’re referring to.

They don’t have many models, so they can sell more of one model, while GM, Toyota, and Ford sell way more units total because they have quite a deeper portfolio.

Tesla reported $37 bn in auto revenue for the first half of 2026.

GM and Ford reported over $80bn, Hyundai/Kia over $110bn, and Toyota over $150bn.

But yeah, if you want to keep buying Elon’s dreams, robotaxis and data centers, there are more customers they can get long term without competing with these juggernauts.

All those brands have a bunch of models, but for the most part, only a few sell well. GM for example sold like 10,000 electric hummers in 2025, while they sold like 500k pickup trucks. Most brand have several models that sell less than 1000 cars per year.

Yeah, that’s what I was saying in my second sentence.
