Tesla cruising in Cheshire

A SPECIALIST American electric car company has moved into Cheshire – the location for its first showroom in the North of England.

Tesla has set up shop in Canute Place in Knutsford town centre, after Monckton Properties – part of the Tatton Estate – secured the new-look 3,000 sq ft showroom.

It was opened officially in January with a test drive by the local MP and Chancellor George Osborne.

Jim McCain who negotiated the transaction for Monckton Properties said: “We are delighted to welcome Tesla as our latest Tatton Estate tenant to Knutsford and are thrilled to see it open its first showroom in the North right here in Cheshire.

“The investments by Monckton and Tesla will enhance the town centre, create high value jobs and reduce even further the amount of space not let.”
