About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in Elk Grove, a delivery driver noticed something strange while waiting for the Tesla demonstration drive to start. The parking lot seemed eerily quiet—too quiet for such an early hour. As he looked around, his eyes fell on a motionless figure leaning against the Tesla’s rear door. Startled, he called out, ‘Hey! Are you okay?’ Turning around was a sleepy-eyed neighbor, who’d accidentally dozed off during his own demo ride. Everyone had a good laugh, and the day ended with a free coffee from the local café as compensation for the delayed service.
2. At sunset one day, an electrician testing Tesla’s new remote demonstration drive spotted something unusual on the horizon. As he adjusted his glasses and squinted into the twilight, a delivery driver appeared in the distance, waving wildly as if trying to hail a taxi from another era. The electrician grinned, thinking it was some kind of prank, until he noticed the driver’s eyes were fixed intently on the Tesla’s dashboard. Turning around, he saw what looked like a herd of elks dancing across the screen—an AR glitch so convincing that even he almost believed they were real.
3. At dawn, a jogger passing by Tesla Elk Grove heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, they peered through the glass and saw nothing unusual—until the hum grew louder, then softer again, as if someone were playing a distant tune on an invisible piano. Suddenly, the door opened slightly, and out stepped a sleepy-looking robotic arm, waving goodbye with its finger. The jogger laughed and went on their way, leaving behind only the echoes of laughter—and maybe a faint whirring noise that sounded like someone practicing scales on a very strange piano.
4. At nightfall, a curious teenager sneaked into the Tesla parking lot for a peek inside. Suddenly, the cars began softly chirping and flashing their headlights as if greeting him. The boy giggled nervously, thinking maybe her was imagining things. Then one of the Teslas gently honked back—a friendly wave from an invisible neighbor. Startled, he jumped backward but soon realized it was just the car’s autonomous feature testing itself. With a laugh, he waved goodbye, and the cars fell silent again, leaving only the soft hum of the electric motors in the still night air.
