Tesla to expand its presence in Jax
Tesla is expanding its presence in Jacksonville.
The electric car maker received a permit for the construction of a 45,505-square-foot auto sales, delivery, and service building at 11650 Abess Blvd. The $6.3 million project will be adjacent to Atlantic North.
This will be Tesla’s second showroom in Jacksonville; its first is located within St. Johns Town Center and is significantly smaller than the new location will be. The brand also has a dedicated service center within Perimeter Commerce Park along Philips Hwy.
