Tesla is preparing to open a new service and repair centre in Reading.

Tesla is preparing to open a new service and repair centre at Unit 1 of Reading Logistics Park in Whitley, near Reading International Business Park and the A33 relief road. The facility remains sealed off by metal barriers whilst preparation work continues, with the Tesla name and logo visible on the building.

Tesla, the American electric vehicle manufacturer, has grown significantly in the British market since its Model S saloon reached the UK in 2014. The company expanded further with the Model 3 saloon arriving in 2019 and the Model Y SUV in February 2022. About 46,200 Teslas were registered in the UK in the first nine months of this year, equivalent to approximately 2.7 per cent of the entire new-car market and just over 10 per cent of electric vehicle registrations, making it a significant player despite competition from rapidly expanding Chinese manufacturer BYD, which now has a showroom at Rose Kiln Lane in Reading.
