Tesla Motors Opens Friday in Mission Viejo Mall

The sporty electric Tesla will be available for test drives when a showroom opens at The Shops at Mission Viejo.

California-based Tesla Motors plans to open its 2,984-square foot store at The Shops at Mission Viejo Friday.

Tesla, a sporty electric car, will be located in the upper level near Center Court across from the Microsoft store.

The store will include a design studio where customers can create their own Tesla. Accessories with the Tesla brand will be available for purchase.

A Tesla Model S will be available for test driving, too. The company is converting six spots in the parking garage off Marguerite Parkway with charging stations to accommodate the store's test-drive vehicles.

Here are some more details about the test drives from the Tesla website:

  • Appointments will be confirmed by a Tesla representative. Test drive appointments are available to prospective customers.
  • Your driving session will be 15 minutes long over a predetermined route designed to highlight the capabilities of Model S.
  • A Tesla Product Specialist will accompany all drives to ensure you optimize your time in Model S.
  • You may bring up to three guests to ride in the back seat during your drive.
The Model S is the world’s first premium sedan built from the ground up as an electric vehicle. Model S has a range of 265 miles—the longest range of any production electric vehicle in the world, according to the company.
