In 2022, Tesla leased Santa Ana tribal land to build a new service and delivery center, something that they cannot do on non-Federal-jurisdiction land in the state due to New Mexico legislation requiring the use of automobile dealers as intermediaries in selling cars to consumers, something Tesla has been unwilling to do.[5] The store opened in 2023[6] and is five times larger than the first New Mexico Tesla facility on tribal land,[7] a 7,000 sq ft (650 m2)[8] service center built the previous year in Nambe.[7]
Education
editMost of Santa Ana Pueblo is in the Bernalillo Public Schools district. Some is in the Jemez Valley Public Schools district.[9] The former operates Bernalillo Middle School (the zoned middle school of the Bernalillo portion of this community),[10] and Bernalillo High School.
