While sales and services facilities are already open for customers. Tesla said it is planning to install 12 new Supercharging bays in 2024. It is also adding body repair services to the business. Tesla now has over 40 centres across the UK.
The company has faced headwinds in recent months, share price dropped by 45% since the end of December on the back of a series of negative news stories and announcements.
