Tesla submits plans for more commercial buildings in Texas, where it is not actually allowed to sell any cars
Tesla is amping up its effort to establish a presence in San Antonio, by requesting a zoning change for a 3.7-acre property in the city to allow for motor vehicle and tire sales and tire installation, according to city documents.
This is interesting because Texas poses a challenge for Tesla, which already has showrooms in Austin, Dallas and Houston. State law prohibits the company from selling its vehicles directly to customers who can see and touch the cars, but have to buy them online or out of state.
Tesla Motors has submitted plans for two commercial buildings along Interstate 10 near Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

The Silicon Valley company, which manufactures and sells electric vehicles and batteries, has requested a zoning change for a 3.7-acre property between IH-10 West and Vance Jackson Road to allow for motor vehicle and tire sales and tire installation, according to city documents.
