This is just a placeholder for the Custer SD Sound of Silence Tesla rally, which occurs annually. As of now, the dates are unclear, I will update this thread as needed. We would surely like to see you there! Mac

This is for those of you in the Supercharger game who will be attending the Custer SD Sound of Silence event on May 19-21 this year. Current registrations are now up to 80 out of 200 persons capacity. If I count correctly, that is 46 unique Teslas coming. Still no problem with reaching...

Still at 80 registrants! If I count correctly, that is 46 unique Teslas coming with less than a month to go. Looks like my wife and I are the only ones registered who have attended all of the previous rallies. If you could make it, we would love to see you! Mac

We are now up to 80/200 registrants. No hurry yet. Book a room though. Mac

I forwarded @Big Earl's and @theflyer's comments to the head of the Custer COC. Here is what she said: Those are all great ideas. We will look into utilizing some of them for next year. We can keep our fingers crossed. See you there. Mac

For those of you in the Supercharger game who will be attending the Custer SD Sound of Silence event on May 19-21 this year, I will be introducing a brand new event at the dinner. It is called "Adventures in Supercharging" and I hope some of you would like to tell your personal stories of the...

UPDATE. We are up to 70 registrants as of today. The event is capped at 200, so no panic yet. It MIGHT be good to at least look into lodging. It will get scarce soon. See you there! Mac

This is an invitation to all you supercharger lovers and particularly to those participating in the Supercharger Game. {Don't ask me what's that}? For the past several years, several of the top players in the SG have been meeting in person, annually, at a particular event. It is the Sound Of...

Well, hell! It is official! All the contracts have been signed and I am committed to yet another year of Tesla madness at the Sound of Silence Rally. You will be seeing me again!!! Get your registration in as soon as you can reasonably commit to it. As of yet, there is no hurry but things...

Well, those dates are FINAL now. Registration is not open yet. Attendance is capped at 200 PEOPLE (not cars). Put this on the calendar and hope to see everyone soon. Mac

Hey, David! I too, love this event, I guess that is why I do so much work on it each year. I thought the individual t-shirts and everyone gets a swag bag were a little much. SOMEONE (not the people who actually DID the event), decided it would be great. I hear from some of the business...

Did I hear somebody mention ALAMOSA!!!??? We have an EV club here and we have been waiting to take a club trip to Alamosa for YEARS!!! Coming soon.....Mac

Well! Hello! I just started a thread for next year's event (2023): https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/9th-annual-sound-of-silence-tesla-rally-in-custer-sd-may-19-21-2023.268039/ The dates for next year are PROBABLY May 19-21, 2023. If those dates get adjusted, I will let you know...

Hello! Just setting this thread up so we all can have a place to discuss this event. NOTE: These dates are tentative right now, if they change, I will modify the dates later. This event is a large, annual Tesla rally in Custer, South Dakota. If you own a Tesla and would like to go on a...

If you attended, THANKS! This was a sort of off year. I will have you some stats a little later, but so happy for all of you who did attend. Just to note, the Custer Chamber of Commerce, who runs this event is continually in a state of flux. LOTS of Directors have come and gone, it is very...

My spies tell me that the Lamar, Colorado supercharger just opened yesterday ~6PM. Go get 'em. Mac

As of yesterday May 20, 2022, my friend visited the supercharger twice. Not available in the morning, so he went to a campground. In the afternoon, he returned, and he was able to charge. THIS SUPERCHARGER IS NOW OPEN!!!! Mac

Anybody famous attending this year? Anyone? Hello? If I don't have anyone famous to introduce, I am gonna be doing a lot of adlibbing at the dinner.... HELP! Mac

Thanks, Earl! See you soon! Mac

If any of you folks will be attending the Custer SD Sound of Silence rally this year, please let me know. I would love to introduce you! Mac

Phew! Sorry! Looks like all is go for this year! If you are coming this year, Please read the attached PDF. Make sure you are registered and paid. It currently looks like you will PROBABLY be fine if you just show up and register upon arrival, if you want to risk it. I see MrElbe will be...

Sorry that I have been a little absent. I wanted to see what direction the Chamber of Commerce would take this year. They have a new Executive Director this year and it was kinda up in the air. No more. I have been asked to help with the Tesla-unique portion of this event, so HERE GOES...

Yow! So happy to see this supercharger beginning to take shape here in my own area. I have often wished for one in Pueblo for years. Hopefully we will see some further progress soon. Mac

Oh! Thanks for the photos, Operator! If you see some construction here, please post another photo or two. This is a very interesting site here in Eastern Colorado! Mac

Nice photos, guys! This site is really progressing fast! This will really help relieve the pressure on the other old station. Yay Albuquerque! Mac

Whoa!! Construction! No holes dug, but fencing up and today when I drove by a truck arrived with TONS of rolled-up conduit. I waited while they unloaded it. The contractor for the electrical work says they are out of California. This is the exact location on the map. Yaaayyy! Why here? I...

Okay, You might have to drive the speed limit sometimes. So that lets you out? You can still stay in NYC. Or rent a gasser. Mac

Hey, Zacster! Make a plan! Take off work! You have (almost) a year to plan. Drive your SR+ and just go. We will introduce you as the least likely owner to attend this rally. Driving across the country in a Tesmobile is sweet! Mac

There are several of us who put a lot of time into this rally. Thank you! I rented a car last year and the feel in was the same as yours. I AM pressing on the accelerator but WHAT? Oh wait, I am speeding up now, slowly. Maybe I should have rented a PERFORMANCE car, not a cheapest rental...

Wish I were there right now, if even in your Camry. But nooooo.... Mac

Big Earl, thanks for the suggestion! It is now on the table for consideration. You must know, I am not a decision maker, I can only advise. We are open to all suggestions! Mac

A very special thanks to all the people who attended LAST year's SOS event, May 2021. Myself and the Chamber of Commerce are already hard at work planning for next year (2022). Since we are filling their largest event space, it is likely that next year attendance will be limited to 200 PEOPLE...

Thought I would get a new thread going for the Custer SD Tesla rally for next year (2022). I will keep you all posted on the event here and include suggestions and hints.

A very special thanks to all the people who attended this year's SOS event. Myself and the Chamber of Commerce are already hard at work planning for next year. Since we are filling their largest event space, it is likely that next year attendance will be limited to 200 PEOPLE, and how many...

Ordered new MX on Jan 27, 2021. Black MX Plaid, white interior, 20" wheels, 6 seat interior, FSD. Estimated delivery: October.

Randy, we are sticking to Glympse this year. L360 maybe next year. WHO'S YOUR DADDY? YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST: Number of cars registered: 93 (and I know of a few cars who will register at the event). This is BIG!! Number of people registered: 155 See you there! Mac

Big Earl, I have requested the COC to send out another blast email with your points and some of my own. Note the change of venue for the Saturday evening event. Both events, Friday and Saturday are now at the same place. You watch your email and I will watch mine. See you soon! Mac

Aw, too bad. Michael E is one of our friends. You might remember him as the handicapped gentleman who attends most years. We will miss him. Mac

Oh, yeah, painful in a roadser. Sure hope it actually arrives. Lot of stuff going on. They are registered. Due to computer issues, don't know where they are coming from. Look. I am not an insider, I am a supporter. They tell me what they want. I show up on the day. Just like you. I...

You read it here FIRST: For the first time ever, there will be a Tesla Roadster in attendance. Mac

Yes! Monument now open! Next: Lubbock! Mac

Big Earl, good points. I will put them out a little closer to the event, thanks for the suggestions. You read it here FIRST: As of today How many cars? 80 Number of people: 130 Breakdown by what type of car? OOPSIE!! The COC registration system has sorta MISPLACED that. Also first timers...

My buddy lives in Monument and he says Monument SC looks better every day. I vote YES on the Lubbock rumor! Heh heh. Mac

We will be sending out another email a little closer to the event. Do you have any suggestions on things for attendees to know? A large % of attendees are first timers. For example: If you plug in somewhere, that charger does not belong to you personally for the entire night. Charge...

Stay tuned here for the latest info. I told them that the event was getting too big for the space they reserved. Soooooo...... "We spoke with the owner of the Begging Burro this morning actually, and since we’re already at 123 people with a couple weeks to go, we decided to move the banquet...

As of today, 69 Teslas are registered. that is 120 people from everywhere. The Custer COC send out an email today with a link to a PDF document chock full of additional details. I post a link to that inline document here: Click for important information! Ah. I can attach the document here...

Rod Hoffman will be there. This may be big. Any registered participants will receive an email prob tomorrow with more info. Find a hotel and get registered. I have a couple famous people coming. More soon. Mac

Yow! Jim Chanos and Cathie Wood. Holy crap. Maybe someone a little less famous? BTW, this rally is going crazy! I have ALMOST talked Rod Hoffman, the guy who DREAMED THIS ENTIRE EVENT UP IN HIS HEAD to attend this one. As of today, we are at 64 vehicles. If you remember, the record is...

Well, the Custer Chamber of Commerce has asked me to help with the SOS Rally again this year. I will keep you all posted here. Interesting things are happening this year. Be there. I have the ability to comp a hotel room for someone (Tesla) famous, if I can get him or her to attend the...

OMG, EVP! That was a MEMORY!! Terrifying! We found a bank drive-thru but ICE cars were there, so we went to a gas station and blocked a gas pump till the storm passed. That was one of only two times I parked in a gas station, the other time was in Kansas, also for hail. Hey! As long as you...
