Tesla dealership coming to Seaside

Seaside planning officials said a new Tesla dealership will open soon on Del Monte Avenue.

Tesla had been searching for a new dealership location on the Monterey Peninsula and decided on Seaside because its a mid point between Los Angeles and San Francisco with easy access from Highway 101, according to the city planning department.

Plans were submitted several months ago and the dealership is expected to be up and running as early as August.

The site will also have a service bay and six super chargers. Taxes from all those car sales will go to the city.
