Tesla Winter Roadshow Announced
News for those considering a Tesla purchase for the new year as the brand have announced they will be hosting test drive events across a range of convenient locations, from Cork to Athlone and more. As part of a continued effort to increase engagement within the Irish community, Tesla are looking for more locations in Ireland to educate on electric vehicles and the value they can bring to Ireland.
Tesla has had a presence in Ireland since 2017, where it first opened its Tesla Centre Dublin in Sandyford with the new Cork site being its second Tesla Centre in the country which opened up in September of this year. The opening of this recent Irish location indicates Tesla's continued investment in the area, as part of its mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.
In recent years, Tesla has increased its sales in Ireland with record breaking sales and year-over-year growth, leading to the Tesla Model Y becoming the 2nd most popular EV in the country. The Model Y is Europe’s best selling vehicle of any kind, and Tesla’s ambitions for Ireland are to continue this growth in the market.
“Tesla’s mission in Ireland is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy”. Country Sales and Delivery Manager Melanie Naughton commented. “We’re extremely proud to be contributing towards this, and we’re continuing to invest in jobs, infrastructure and upskilling our employees in the market as we go through this energy transition to electric vehicles.”
To continue this growth, Tesla will be running a series of events and community engagement programs throughout the country in order to help facilitate this energy transition and to educate the public on the benefits of electric vehicles. Starting with six events across the country, Tesla will be scaling up with a roadshow of events and engagements, starting in Athlone, with more locations to follow.
