Tesla’s direct sales model has caused the automaker headaches, with a number of U.S. states banning the practice, but in New Mexico it has come up with an ingenious solution.

Eager to expand its presence in the state that bans car manufacturers from selling vehicles directly, Tesla has partnered with the first nation of Nambé Pueblo and established a showroom and service center inside a defunct casino on tribal land. State law doesn’t apply to tribal land so Tesla can freely operate the facility.

The center is located in an area with approximately 1,700 residents. Importantly, it is located just 30 minutes away from Santa Fe and 90 minutes from Albuquerque.

The Governor of Nambé Pueblo, Phillip Perez, is very happy with the partnership.

“This location will not only create permanent jobs, it is also part of a longterm relationship with Tesla as the company is working with pueblo nambe to provide education and training opportunities for tribal members, as well as economic development,” he said.

Democratic senator Martin Heinrich also welcomed the announcement and spoke during the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the facility: “I hope that this is just the start of partnerships like this to bring economic opportunities to Tribal communities. I can’t wait to see how Tesla and the Pueblo will build on this partnership in the months and years ahead to train workers and employees for good-paying, long-term careers right here in Nambé.”
