Tesla is building a new sales and service center at 3606 Highway 98 North in Lakeland.
A new Tesla sales and service center is under construction at 3606 Highway 98 North. The city issued the main building permit in May 2026 for a "New Tesla Sales and Service Center," a roughly $4.5 million building, alongside a separate foundation permit described as an "Electric Automobile Repair / Service Center."
Site work tied to approved plan SIT25-050 (listed as "Tesla Lakeland") was permitted in April 2026, followed through the year by underground fire lines, a fire alarm system, low-voltage and security wiring, cameras, access control, a retaining wall, and a set of illuminated Tesla ground and wall signs.
The property owner on the records is LAKELAND TEV CENTER LLC, with Vision General Contractors of GA LLC as the building contractor. The records don't give an opening date.
