Second Visit to Tesla Store Paris

Yesterday, instead of going to Paris directly, we first went to the Tesla Store in Gennevilliers, next to Paris, to see what was going on, what was new

- Chassis on display
- New P85+ dark blue
- Rear child seats test
- Test drive booked in 2 weeks





Arriving, 2 test drive Model S were parked outside, waiting



The first new thing in the showroom is the Chassis on display, very interesting, so took many close ups to see technical details






The AC Motor is huge !




Tesla Serial number on the AC Motor







A view in the shop from the little window in the showroom and a Model S on the lift, plus many recently delivered ones on the right, with new plates, etc



Also the black Model S has been replaced by a dark blue P85+, very nice


and it is charging




using the regular EVSE and plugged into a regular 220V outlet, next to an iMac






My son Clément loves to be in the driver's seat and tests everything on the huge screen, including opening the roof, the trunk, etc



and this time we tried out the rear child seats, that are folded in the back of the trunk


Very well designed mechanism


At 12 years old, he is a bit to tall to fit, but he managed to shut the seatbelt

and we closed the trunk :-)





We then talked to a new saleswoman, and booked a test drive in two weeks ...

Our Visit at the brand New Tesla Store Paris !

After seeing this last night tweet from TeslaMotors, I decided to go see this

I remember going few times to their previous Tesla Store in Paris, Avenue Kleber, near Trocadero, but after they closed in september, I was wondering when they would finally re-open, and where ...

Well I got the answer, so we went this afternoon




in a brand new street (not in our GPS), in an old industrial area



the Tesla Store Paris ! (and Shop)







One of the 2 demo Model S taking people for test drives (25-30mn including freeway nearby)



Second one



Let's go inside








a Fisker Karma in the parking lot



















Everything is brand new, with still some wiring being finish in the ceiling as we were there



Everything smells new



The Shop is visible from the Store, by a window near the "lounge" area



Wow ! Pretty amazing






















We will have to come back next saturday for a test drive because it is was packed

Over hearing a conversation, I learned that the next - and first - SuperCharger locations for France would be Auxerre, Macon, Valence on the way from Paris to Marseille

At least there was a Model S in which we could seat and enjoy this beautiful car



It feels very luxurious to me, very well made











Very well seated in the back seats, lots of leg room and even the the middle seat is fine







I think Clement likes it already; He quickly found his favorite radio station















The "frunk"



"Cut here"



The trunk is bigger than I thought



But wait, there's more !



Clement in the trunk (his specialty now), Bjorn style ;-)



We could go into the Shop and see all these Model S closer, along with the brand new equipments: Lifts, Charging Stations, EVSE, 3-phase AC



All outlets & plugs in the shop were big and red, which means they are 3-phase; The other side of this wall mounted EVSE is of course a Mennekes plug, Tesla's choice for Europe











This Model is from the Netherlands



Brand new lifts for the shop



Brown version



3-phase AC outlets and Mennekes Type 2 for Europe



=> Fast Charging at 43kW







Keep it simple, and small



P85+, what else ?







Beautiful in Dark Blue ! my favorite, so classy



and Creme leather seats ... a good match







Lifts



Nice line up



TESLA Dutch Model S, charging ...






























outside ...



Many brand new commercial buildings in the area of Gennevilliers, like Saint Ouen across La Seine)



Bye for now Tesla, it was hard to get back in the LEAF after this long visit ...
