Pop up shipping container stores are proving to be popular around the world and Tesla Motors has one of their own

Tesla Motors produces some of the world’s finest electric sports cars and has been growing since founder Elon Musk has been unveiling new energy efficient models. Not only are their car models energy efficient and eco-friendly but they look stylish, modern and very sporty; you wouldn’t tell apart a Tesla car from a standard luxury sports car. Elon Musk has always been a technology expert and a great developer after co-founding popular online payment system PayPal and setting up a space program business that produces rockets – SpaceX. It’s fair to say then that Musk’s pioneering businesses are helping to build a much ‘greener’ planet and help reduce fossil fuel usage.

One of Tesla’s unique store openings came when the company opened a pop up store near Southampton, USA that offers education and details about the cars they manufacture and about the benefits of driving electric cars – and also why they are so popular. The shop sells Tesla merchandise to the public also and is a great marketing tool for the electronic car giant. The uniqueness of the pop up store comes from the fact that the store was built using shipping containers!

Other companies like Nike and Puma have also opened pop up shipping container stores previously. One benefit that comes from pop up container stores is that they can be transported from one location to another relatively easily and much more efficiently than using a standard store (It would be much more difficult to move an entire building than a shipping container). Shipping containers really do have a lot to offer and there are so many ways that they can be used. We have seen a wide variety of unique uses for shipping containers ranging from hotels, offices, bars, homes, banks and even swimming pools.

Tesla Motors was founded back in 2003 and was famous for producing the first ever convertible electric super car – the Tesla Roadster and has since become one of most popular electronic car companies on the planet. The Model S, Tesla’s Luxury Sedan, reached the benchmark of selling more than 75’000 units, the highest number of electronic car models sold on the planet.
