Plans for a new Tesla store in Rhode Island have been put on hold indefinitely.
The electric car manufacturer had received permission to open a store at a former Hyundai dealership in Warwick, and the city's former mayor said in January that the store would open in the spring.
A spokesman for current Mayor Joseph Solomon told the Providence Journal Thursday that Tesla "will not be coming to Warwick at this time."

The latest news from around the state
It is unclear if Tesla will open a store at another location, or if it will open a store in the state at all.
The company has declined to comment.
Tesla faced a hurdle coming to the state, as it sells cars directly from the company and state law prohibits manufacturers from selling without using a dealership.
