EDMONTON A source close to Tesla s Alberta operations confirmed to CTV News Edmonton Friday the company will be opening a service centre in Edmonton at an unspecified date. Tesla already has a store and service centre in Calgary. Local electric vehicle enthusiasts believe interest elsewhere in the province has prompted the company to expand further north. Allow people to get test rides or to organize individual test rides but just having that ready to go, Andrew Batiuk of the Electric Vehicle Association of Alberta told CTV News Edmonton. Seeing is believing. As soon as people feel the acceleration of a Tesla, even their low performance ones, it still pretty much seals the deal if they were remotely interested to start.
