Fingal County Council has granted an application from Tesla Motors Ireland Ltd to change the use of an industrial premises in the North City Business Park close to Junction 5 of the M50 from \u201cwarehouse and office\u201d to a car sales outlet.<\/p>\n

Tesla opened its first Irish showroom in 2017 at the Sandyford Business Park in south Dublin, and a second in 2023 at Fota Junction Retail Park in Cork.<\/p>\n

Industry sources estimate that the value of the investment by Tesla in the latest sales hub in Finglas will be close to \u20ac5m.<\/p>\n

A planning report lodged with the application by Manahan Planners states that the Tesla sales outlet at Sandyford \u201cis reaching capacity\u201d. It explains that the current proposal is to provide a similar centre alongside the M50 to service the northern half of the Dublin region.<\/p>\n

\n

No objections were lodged against the proposal<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The report says this will result in the creation of 26 permanent jobs, comprising 16 office staff, five technical staff and five sales advisers, and the hub will offer support services to Tesla owners across north Dublin.<\/p>\n

No objections were lodged against the proposal and the council granted planning permission after concluding it did not give rise to any general amenity concerns.<\/p>\n

The planning permission follows a grant by Wicklow County Council to Tesla Motors Ireland to expand its \u201csupercharger\u201d infrastructure at Coolbeg, where there are to be eight EV charging bays.<\/p>\n

A planning report lodged by McArdle Doyle with the charging hub plan stated that Tesla has nine EV super-charging locations across Ireland.<\/p>\n

Tesla will retain its sales operation on the forecourt of the Swords Pavilions shopping centre, while it also has sales staff working in Galway and Limerick and a servicing outlet in Cork.<\/p>\n

Last year, Tesla recorded 2,769 new registrations, which was down 5.4pc on 2024 sales.<\/p>\n

\n

Sales of petrol-run cars were also down, by 38pc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry show that Tesla sold more models last month, at 571, than in the preceding two months combined, when 301 sales were recorded. The sales jump followed a reduction in prices by Mr Musk\u2019s company.<\/p>\n

The 2026 sales comprise 471 of Model Y, or 54pc of the total, and 401 of Model 3.<\/p>\n

While sales of EV cars were up last month, those of diesel cars were down 37pc compared to March last year, a reflection of the higher cost of fuel.<\/p>\n

Sales of petrol-run cars were also down, by 38pc.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, diesel cars accounted for about three out of every four cars sold, partly because the Fianna F\u00e1il-Green Party government of 2007 to 2011 gave them tax breaks, a decision Eamon Ryan subsequently admitted was wrong.<\/p>\n

By contrast, diesel cars now account for only one out of every eight cars sold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
