I'm going to open this thread to see if we can get started gathering information about where the Supercharger stations are going in Georgia. According to Tesla's SC plan at http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger , by the end of "Fall 2013" there will be a station in the Savannah area and a...

Anyone in the Atlanta area who owns a Tesla, or is just interested in Tesla in general and may want to check out a few of them, feel free to join us for our next meetup. This one will be in Midtown Atlanta at Atlantic Station on Saturday August 17 at 3pm, in the parking lot between the Target...

I just got home from speaking at TESLIVE, it was a fantastic event, and as I wait for my P85+ to be delivered, I decided to start a page on Facebook for Tesla owners and enthusiasts in North Carolina to connect: https://www.facebook.com/TeslaOwnersNorthCarolina

I will be stationed in Montgomery, AL for the next year and was curious if there are any Model S owners nearby? I also plan to take a few trips to the gulf coast and would love to hear about good locations for beach vacations with charging opportunities. thanks in advance for your help.

Going to FL in December via Nashville, Atlanta, Macon and Savannah (hope for SC around Savannah and down I-95 by then). I am looking for a hotel on the way (South of Atlanta to Macon) for overnite charging. I checked the various sites and it looks kind of bleak. Is there any local info I am missing.

Looking for suggestions of 50A or greater charging opportunities for my Model S in the greater Asheville NC area. I will be passing through enroute to Chattanooga, TN. - Thx

I've been told the best thing to do was to actually "sign" in the state of New Jersey since they don't have state tax on vehicles. I know there is also a dealership in Florida. I'm curious to any suggestions and what others did to actually sign. Do I really need to fly to N.J. or Florida if I...

Hi, I'm from myrtle beach but recently did a test drive while visiting relatives in SF and was very impressed:love: (as was the wife and kids which is a nice plus:biggrin:). I'm looking at a 85Kwh with the tech package. The only thing holding me back is the lack of infrastructure (both...

Hello all! So, I'm getting close to my delivery. In speaking with Tesla they are telling me that I cannot pick it up at the service center because they have no delivery specialists there. So, they are shipping it directly to me and I'll go over the car with a DS over the phone. Is that...

I've formed a new meetup group for Electric Vehicle owners and enthusiasts in the RTP, NC area for those who might be interested in joining. http://www.meetup.com/RTP-EV-meetup-group/ I welcome suggestions for events. Hoping to attract vehicles that are primarily electric including Tesla, Leaf...

This is an odd request. For all Model S owners in and around Atlanta, GA, I would like to see if can take your Model S for an extended test drive? I am willing to pay for your time and miles added to your car. I'm doing this for couple of reasons and the regular test drives given by Tesla really...

Any recommendations for electrician Hello, Does anyone have a recommendation for an electrician in Nashville that has handled installation of the Model S chargers? Thank you.

Hello all. Got to test a 85kWh Tesla Model S today for the first time and WOW. I thought everyone was crazy for saying "I had the biggest grin on acceleration"... but now I'm a witness. That thing MOVES! Pushing the budget extremely tight but I think after this test drive, I'm finally ready to...

Any recommendations for a good window tinting operation in the Raleigh-Durham area?

Just saw a post on the Tesla Motors forum: If anyone is an owner, or future owner, please get in touch with him!

Took my Model S to the Raleigh "Cars & Coffee" meet up this past weekend (first Saturday each month), brought along a hastily assembled copy of Todd Burch's car show poster (chunked it up onto 4 sheets of 11x17 paper and taped to a poster board), and ended up being there from about 7:30 AM until...

I'm trying to plan a trip from Orlando to Charlotte this summer and I think it will require an overnight stay between Brunswick, Ga and Savannah. Does any know of any EV friendly hotels along I 95 between these two cities.

Hey everyone, this is crazy, but I'm considering getting a Model S based on my recent luck with TSLA stock and options. My plan was to wait for 3 or 4 years but the stock went up WAY too quick and my wife is now coercing me to put in a reservation and that has totally killed my self restraint...

This type of thing really annoys me. The automaker lobbies are trying to lock tesla out of their club. And they sell it as protecting the consumer because there won't be as good a local service presence? Yes, no selfish motivation on their part as Tesla threatens to revolutionize the auto...

To the folks that have purchased a Model S in NC: My delivery window is June 5 - June 19. It has been hard to figure out exactly what happens when the car arrives and I have to register it. I've not gotten a purchase agreement yet, so I was wondering if the NC Highway Use Tax (HUT) is...

Now this is really crazy!: North Carolina’s Ridiculous Tesla Ban - The Daily Beast

When I registered my S in January, I transferred my plate which had a June renewal. Today, I got my inspection done at a local service station. Needless to say, it was the talk of the shop. It was no surprise that NC's inspection computer program was not set up for EVs and they had to call the...

The redcoats are here! The redcoats are here! It's time for our May meetup event! More deliveries more paint colors on the road. The weather is getting warmer. Lets try to make this meetup the largest ever. This event will be at Seasons 52 at Perimeter mall Tuesday May 14th at 5pm. We will be...

Anyone know what's available at RDU? I've come up with nothing on a search and wondering if anyone had experience with any of the private parking companies there. I'm also considering asking if I can leave the car at the Tesla Service Center as it looks to be close by.

Not here too! Tesla just posted on Facebook that there is a bill proposed in the NC Senate that would prevent them from selling to North Carolinians. Looks like it is our turn to fight the good fight. Check out Tesla Motors NC

This Cinco De Mayo lets turn Caffeine and Octane (http://www.caffeineandoctane.com/) into Voltage & Vitamins, Electricity & Exercise, or Amps & Athletics. Lets show the gas heads what the future of "motoring" looks like. No mater what it should be a great event. You will see lots of great...

Hello everybody, So my wife got an offer from GSU... We are very excited about moving to the ATL! I'm not sure exactly when, probably later this summer since they want her to teach in the fall. Anyway, as you all know GA has a sweet EV credit whereas VA (my current state) has none. So...

Has anyone opted into the new Georgia Title Tax? How easy was it. There is now an explicit exemption to cars bought outside of Georgia so there should be no hangups about opting in. The instruction document is here...

Hopefully this is the correct spot to ask this, but moderators please move if my rookie forum skills have led me wrong... Any Model S owners in Birmingham, AL yet? From the Model S world map it looks like maybe a few orders but wasn't sure if anyone has taken delivery? I'm in Atlanta and...

I see you whizzing by me in the HOV lanes on 75/85 while I'm stuck in traffic on my commute and all I can do is watch in envy... :tongue: No, but in all seriousness- the closest dealerships are in FL (south Florida) and I won't be able to make it down there until late October or early November...

I'm making a trip from Atlanta to Charleston early April and need a quick pit stop in Augusta as it's a 298 mile drive. Anyone in Augusta who can lend us their HPWC for one hour? Technically we can make it driving 45-50mph but thats no fun at all. Pls PM me :) -D

It's time for our next meetup event! There have been several more Tesla Model S deliveries since our last meeting and several new members in the group. I think we lost track of how many Model S's showed up at our last event. Definitely over 10. Not to mention all other major modern EVs were...

Just noticed the Careers page is now showing a store location for Durham, NC at Southpoint (presumably the mall or nearby). Only a few miles from my house. Can't wait to get a test drive. :love:

I was told in a conversation with Build My Model S personnel that someone in Northwest Arkansas just recently took delivery of their Model S. Up until now I thought I was the only person in the whole state that had a reservation. :smile: Please let me know who you are, what you had...

We have had several Atlanta/Georgia Model S deliveries in the past few months. Let get together and celebrate the start of a new era in personal transport. Tesla Roadster we haven’t forgotten about you. If anyone owns a Roadster please bring it. Our unofficial record is 4 Tesla at an event...

Georgia Power is using a Model S for all their EV related topics on the top banner. Does anyone use their EV ToU plan in Atlanta? The summer daytime rates seem so high it might not be worth it.

My beautiful wife charging our beautiful car at our restaurant's public charging station we installed last year. You can find us from the following cell phone apps "PlugShare" "CarStations" "Recargo" or our website http://www.makotos-boone.com

Got this from my DES today: I had hoped to meet Cale too! (He's been great) I've heard of similar laws in Texas, but Georgia too? Sounds kind of like a capacity issue more than a legal issue. There have been Sig deliveries performed by a DES in-person already. Were those just flying under the...

Hello Local Tesla Owners! I am looking for a local owner (or 2) who might be interested in showing off their new Model S to a class of MBA students at UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School. As part of our marketing class we are discussing some of Tesla's business strategies and it would be great...

I got married, in Atlanta, yesterday. Going on my honeymoon. I won' be within reliable internet range until mid next week.

According to the Tesla jobs page, there will be a service center in Raleigh. Very cool. Not sure if this also means a retail store, but it looked like it could be on the map of existing/planned stores from the shareholder meeting.

I hear that a Service Tech is in training down in Dania Beach and he is to be stationed in Georgia once training is complete.

Come and show us your Tesla!! Signify your intentions here

Announcement for the meet-up: Hi, If you drive a "plug-in" electric car, or are interested in these new cars, and the ability to drive daily on clean, renewable electricity, please consider attending! There was a small but successful electric car meetup in April this year. It was so...

I'm surprised that there isn't any mention of Louisiana being included in any of the local groups (or Arkansas or Mississippi, for that matter). Rest assured that we do exist - I'm waiting for my Model S (P5058 - 60KWh), and would love to come to Dallas or Houston for a meet-up when I get it...

It is a long stretch down I-95 to south Florida! Of course there are plenty of level2 (30A) stations along the way, and RV parks that can provide 40Amps to the Roadster, but are there any 70A level2 or Tesla HPC's along the way? I am sure there will be more high power chargers one day, but...

Hi fellow southeasterners, I have another road trip planned in a couple of weeks from Charleston SC to Greenville TN, and some driving possibly to Johnson City, Elizabethton area. Does anyone have general advice, and advice on best places to charge a Roadster in Spartanburg area, or along...

Ok so I mostly posted this because "southeast" is empty. But I know there are a decent number of is in Metro Atlanta. I live in Smyrna.

Tesla Fans in the Atlanta Metro Area come join our new group. Maybe we can even convince Tesla Motors to open a store here. Tesla Motors Fans - Atlanta | Facebook
