US electric car giant Tesla has opened its first pop-up store in Lithuania, the company said on Thursday.
The Tesla pop-up has been opened at the Akropolis shopping mall in Vilnius.
This is the first step of Tesla’s expansion in the country as it plans to take orders in the country, open a permanent store and launch a Lithuanian configurator as early as the beginning of 2025.
Visitors of the new pop-up will be able to book test drives of Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 electric cars.
“The new Tesla pop-up (…) offers Lithuanians the opportunity to discover and experience the Model Y and Model 3 and to talk to Tesla product experts,” the company said.
The full range of European products will be available to Lithuanians in a few months when the permanent Tesla store opens. Local pricing will be announced at that time and the first deliveries will take place later.
BNS reported earlier that Tesla’s Dutch subsidiary Tesla International established a company in Vilnius in early August.
In 2021, Elinta Charge, a developer and manufacturer of charging stations for electric vehicles, installed the first Tesla Supercharger fast charging stations in Lithuania in Kaunas.
In February 2020, Tesla representatives also visited Vilnius. BNS sources said at the time that Tesla was interested in developing a network of charging stations for electric cars in Lithuania and was looking for a location for a showroom.
