Tesla New Orleans

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Tesla New Orleans closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the streets. A delivery driver first noticed it, thinking it might be an electric anomaly unique to the car charging station. Curious, he asked around, and soon everyone in town was talking about the mysterious hum. Finally, one evening, a neighbor approached him with a smile: ‘That’s not an electric anomaly,’ she whispered conspiratorially. ‘It’s just Elon Musk checking his servers.’ The whole thing turned out to be nothing more than urban legend fuelled by late-night deliveries.

2. Late one evening, an eager delivery driver rushed into Tesla New Orleans with a package in hand. As he fumbled with the keys, something odd happened—the lights flickered and a low, almost musical tone filled the air. Curious, everyone turned around just as the doors gently opened—revealing not Elon Musk or any staff member, but a friendly golden retriever named Max, who wagged his tail and looked equally puzzled. The delivery driver scratched his head, apologized for the inconvenience, and explained that Max must’ve accidentally hit the button while following him inside. Everyone laughed, and soon after, Max became a regular visitor at Tesla New Orleans.

3. A neighbor complained loudly to the manager, ‘Why does your store attract ghostly visitors every full moon?’ The manager shrugged and replied, ‘Probably just some people checking out our electric cars.’ One night, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Do you guys ever see anything unusual here?’ The manager smiled knowingly and answered, ‘Only when the Tesla app has a glitch and shows us as fully charged even during a power outage.’

4. Have you ever seen a Tesla drive itself out of Tesla New Orleans after closing time? That's what some locals claim happens late at night. One night, a delivery driver swears he saw an autonomous Model 3 pull up next to him at a red light. It rolled down its window and said, 'Hey, bud—can I borrow your Wi-Fi?' Turns out it was just a neighborhood prankster having fun with his phone's GPS.
