The launch of the UAE’s dedicated online platform, is supported by a pop-up store in The Dubai Mall, Tesla Ranger service, and a service centre that is currently under construction on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road. In addition to Dubai, the American manufacturer plans on increasing its foothold in the country with the opening of a store and service center in Abu Dhabi next year.
While Tesla’s current charging network includes two Supercharging stations at The Last Exit in Jebel Ali and Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, plans are to increase that number to five by the end of the year. Tesla’s Destination Chargers, which are currently available at 26 locations across the UAE, are to benefit from an additional 50 chargers by December.
