Because current Texas state laws prevent the company from conducting sales, such as "taking orders, discussing prices or giving test-drives," the carmaker operates "galleries" rather than "stores."

"Despite the fact that we cannot sell in the state, we have thousands of Teslas registered in Texas," Georgeson says. "[And the] Model S can be ordered online at teslamotors.com."

Georgeson says the new UPV gallery will have an open glass storefront that will "invite customers in to interact with the cars on display."

The gallery will also feature a big screen on the back wall, private sitting areas where customers and product specialists can talk and design studios where visitors can customize their Model S. Two static display Model S also invite visitors to slide into the driver's seat.

Currently, University Park Village is nearly 100 percent occupied, since new boutique Altar'd State was added to the store lineup. Blue Mesa Grill is slated to leave UPV by July 1, according to the Star-Telegram's Bud Kennedy; Georgeson could not confirm exactly where in the center the Tesla gallery will go.
