Unlike usual, Tesla is coming to the IAA this year. However, the electric car manufacturer will not be present at the exhibition center itself, but only at one of the exhibition areas in downtown Munich, as the IAA Mobility explained. Before that, the trade journal “Automobilwoche” had reported on it.

According to the IAA, the Tesla stand on Munich’s Königsplatz will take up around 200 square meters. Exactly what is planned there remains open. Other exhibitors at Königsplatz include Ford, ADAC and EnBW.

200 square meters of exhibition space is not much for a car manufacturer. In industry circles it is said that in the halls several hundred up to 1000 square meters are common, in the open spaces rather more. The fair did not want to comment on square meter figures.
