Education is Required…
How far can I drive?
Where can I charge?
How long does the battery last?
What’s a Supercharger?
A New Consumer Education and Sales Model is Needed
A Tesla Gallery Achieves this Goal
for All Electric Cars

But there is no Tesla charging…

Not like in Dallas & Collin Counties

So Tesla owners share their home chargers
8
Southlake Town Square is the Perfect Place for Tesla Owners to Charge
With great shopping, food and lodging, STS will be a destination for the 1100+ Tesla owners in North Texas
Charging in Southlake makes the Austin-Southlake roundtrip easily possible
It
will also be a draw for out-of-town Tesla owners, as we have seen at San Marcos
