Superior’s Board of Trustees early Tuesday morning approved plans to install a Tesla sales and service center at the northwest corner of the town’s 157-acre development complex, “Downtown Superior.”

It is only the second Tesla location of its kind in Colorado; the other sales and service center exists in Littleton, while showrooms are located in Aspen, Cherry Creek and Lone Tree-Park Meadows.

The Superior shop will likely open next spring, company officials say.

The decision — approval of a final development plan and replat of the parcel — all but cements the electric-car giant’s return to Boulder County seven years after relocating its Pearl Street showroom to Denver.

Both measures were approved 5-2, with the replat proposal sanctioned on the condition that Tesla looks into sharing the shop’s large parking lot with the community during its off hours. Trustees Rita Dozal and Sandie Hammerly offered the two “no” votes.
