A different kind of dealership.
Diplomat Motors is the West Coast's #1 EV dealership — a calm, gallery-like space in the Portland metro where going electric feels less like a negotiation and more like an upgrade to everyday life.

Built in Portland, for the electric era.
Diplomat started with one belief: buying an EV should feel as good as driving one. So we threw out the playbook — the haggling, the handoffs, the four-square worksheets — and built a store we'd actually want to shop in.
Today, from our Troutdale flagship and SE Portland gallery, we help drivers across the West Coast switch to electric with 150-point inspected Teslas, Rivians, Porsches, Lucids, and more — at transparent prices that never move after you walk in.

What we stand for.
Four promises we make to every driver who walks through the door — or reserves from their couch.
No pressure, ever
No commission quotas, no follow-up call barrage. Browse the floor like it's a gallery — because it is.
Inspected, always
Every EV passes our 150-point inspection before it ever reaches the showroom.
Straight answers
Real-world range, charging costs, tax credits — explained in plain English, with nothing buried in fine print.
Electric first
EVs are what we know best. Our specialists drive them, live with them, and know them inside out, and we keep a curated selection of gas and hybrid vehicles alongside them.
Come see it in person.
Grab a coffee, wander the gallery, and take anything you like for a drive. No appointment needed — though we're happy to have one ready.
