As part of the global expansion of Stores and Service Centres across the globe, Tesla will officially launch its first New Zealand Store and Service Centre in K Road tonight with an event for their owners to celebrate, prior to opening the doors to the public tomorrow.
Tesla’s retail model, which is direct-to-customer, allows for future owners to customise the design of their vehicle and be educated on the benefits of owning an electric vehicle with zero compromise. Customers will also be able to view the Tesla home energy product offering which includes Powerwall and Solar Panels. Tesla’s servicing model on offer at the store is also unique, built on a zero-profit model, ensuring owners receive a full understanding of the costs and works being undertaken on their vehicle upfront and on occasion even prior to arrival at the Service Centre due to remote diagnosis over the air, through the vehicle’s in-built connection.
In addition to the Auckland store’s Superchargers, Tesla is expanding its Supercharger network with sites in Queenstown and Omarama, which are all open from tomorrow. This furthers the investment of electric vehicle infrastructure in New Zealand with Tesla owners already benefitting from Destination Chargers in more than 75 locations nationally including shopping centres, secure parking locations, hotels, restaurants and resorts.
All charging sites across New Zealand can be found here. www.tesla.com/en_NZ/findus?redirect=no#/bounds/-36.660571,175.2871371,-37.0654751,174.44380160000003,d?search=store,service,supercharger,destination charger&name=Auckland, New Zealand

About Supercharging
The ability to quick charge, allows easy long-distance travel long along well-travelled highways around the world. The Tesla Supercharger is substantially more powerful than any existing charging technology, providing up to 120 kilowatts of power and 270 km of range in 30 minutes. Supercharger stations are strategically placed to allow owners to drive from station to station with minimal stops. Stations are located near amenities like roadside diners, cafes, and shopping centres so road trippers can stop for a quick meal and have their Model S and Model X charged by the time they’re done. Since announcing the technology in late 2012, Tesla has deployed 1,261 Supercharger Stations and more than 10,021 Superchargers worldwide, making it the fastest-growing fast-charging network in the world.
