Tesla is nearing an agreement to open a roughly 100K SF service center near the southwest corner of the Loop, a boost to the city’s aim to establish itself as a national energy hub.

If Tesla reaches an agreement, it would likely convert the existing building on the site into a service and maintenance facility for its vehicles, the second of its kind in the city.
