#Tesla files building permits for #PortlandMaine dealership

The automaker hasn't formally announced plans to expand into Maine, but a building permit says the site would be an auto dealership and service center for the company run by Elon Musk.

"Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer run by #ElonMusk, has taken out several permits to renovate a former VIP Tires and Service center in Portland to be used as a dealership and service facility, city records show.

"The building at 35 Riverside St., near Brighton Avenue and Exit 48 of the Maine Turnpike, would be Tesla’s first retail or service location in Maine, though the company has installed more than 20 charging stations throughout the state.

"Tesla has not formally announced plans to expand into Maine, but a building permit approved in November lists the site’s proposed use as “Auto Dealership & Service Station (Tesla).”

"Tesla applied for a permit Wednesday to install company signs, according to city records. That permit, which is under review pending payment of fees, includes signs for service, sales and test drives."
