NILES, Ohio – Auto consumers in the Mahoning Valley considering the purchase of a Tesla electric vehicle no longer need to leave the area for a test drive.

That’s because Tesla has set up a new interactive display and demonstration drive center at the Eastwood Mall, eliminating the hourlong trip to the nearest Tesla dealership, the Eastwood Mall Complex announced Monday.

The new drive center is located inside the mall’s center court, and Tesla personnel will be on hand to answer any questions from customers, review specifications and help people place orders.  

Moreover, the new center will provide test drives featuring its four passenger EV models and its Cybertruck. The test drives will be launched from easily accessible parking spaces outside the entrance to the Food Court.

To test drive a Cybertruck, customers are required to be at least 21 years old, possess a valid driver’s license and have an auto insurance policy. The display and demo center is currently available between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays.
