It seems like Tesla factories, showrooms, and service centers are popping up everywhere these days, and with so much momentum on the cusp of Battery Day, the EV giant is showing no signs of slowing down.
In the latest news of Tesla grand openings, Oklahoma City is getting its very own Tesla service center, built in what used to be a Volvo Dealership in an area previously called Automobile Alley, as reported by The Oklahoman.
Although Chris Fleming of building property owners Midtown Renaissance declined to comment, a building permit depicts an 11,775-square-foot service garage, a customer lounge, a few offices, and an enclosed meeting room, alongside Tesla’s involvement.

It seems consumer desire was enough for Tesla to open the service center, though it isn’t clear when the location will be able to open. The EV company’s website doesn’t display the location-to-be as of yet, and it has not been officially announced yet either.
Automobile Alley, the surrounding properties in Oklahoma City, is set to be redeveloped into restaurants and office buildings, though it was previously also home to a Mercedes Benz dealership and a slew of other showrooms.
Tulsa tried and failed in its bid to lure a Gigafactory to the state, but despite a strong presentation, Tesla opted for Austin, Texas.
Certainly, this won’t be the last Tesla service center to pop up, but the question is, where will the next one be?
