Tesla’s ongoing expansion of its retail and service facilities in the UK has brought 10 store openings in the past 12 months, with four in the first part of 2021.

Over the past 12 months the California-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer has opened new sites in Newcastle, Winchester, Gatwick, Belfast, Birmingham, and Chelmsford, with Aberdeen, Cardiff, Nottingham and Chester opening this year.

As reported by AM last September, the brand behind the Model 3, Model S and Model Y EVs also has plans to open a new Glasgow store in a former Evans Halshaw Car Store showroom on Kennedy Street.

AM understands that store might open to customers as early as next month after operating from a temporary building in recent months.

The growth of the Tesla brand’s footprint in the UK follows a significant boost in registrations from its Model 3.
