What a Team ! (Unofficial) Group Picture after a great insightful Day Full of sessions ! Looking forward to tonight's Party at Tesla Motors Reception !

Party! Sunday 2:30 - ? Taco theme, bring something if you wish we will provide what we can Please park on Barley Hill

Us too! Although we're there in spirit as a Sponsor, a combination of unfortunate timing and a bad, bad encounter between my foot and a sprinkler valve meant it wasn't to be for this year :-( Wishing Doug, Daniel and the rest of the crewing keeping it all together the very best for another...

Hi everyone - me and my father are here from Scottsdale, AZ and Houston respectively. He owns an 85 and I'm a Jan 2016 70D owner. I would kill to arrange a ride in a P85D for him as he has yet to experience. I promise we are nice people and MOST appreciative. Or anyone willing to carpool to HQ...

Dear TMC friends at TMC Connect 2015... Sorry I cannot be there with you. Retired Life commitments and distance got in the way... perhaps next year I shall make the journey to TMC Connect in my soon to be ordered Tesla... Until then, have fun, learn, meet people, and network.... Cheers to...

We just arrived at the Hyatt and were wondering if any other early arrivals were interested in meeting for dinner tonight. We were thinking around 7 pm. Post here and/or PM me if you are interested and we'll figure it out. Andy

If anyone wants to car pool, I'll be a designated driver...just one small issue, no car! You provide the ride, I'll provide the drive!

As you may have gotten an email Bonnie had to cancel due to a family situation. Is there any interest for those people that are still around the extra night would like to do something that afternoon instead? I've placed a Public Poll here so we can see what the general consensus would be...

Ricardo Reyes, Tesla's head honcho of communications, will be speaking at TMC Connect. Some of you may remember that Ricardo left & then returned at the end of last year, replacing Simon Sproule (who replaced George Blankenship). Are there specific questions you'd like to see him address during...

I was booking my room online and after I entered my payment it said they were sold out. What would be the next closest hotel option? Anything in walking distance?

I received this information in an email from the Hyatt this afternoon. Thank you for choosing Hyatt Regency Santa Clara during TMC Connect 2015! One Direction will be having a concert at Levi's Stadium this Saturday, July 11th at 7PM. If you are currently parked on the Hotel property and...

I am still trying to talk my wife into making the trip, my son is 8 years old and loves the Tesla. He is very excited about going on the Factory tour. 54 inches tall so I think he is okay for that. If my wife doesn't go I would still like to take my son with me and still go to a few of the...

What is our parking situation like at TMC Connect 2015? Is there a designated parking lot at the convention center? Is it paid/validated? See you all there! - K

Is anyone planning on doing a battery swap on their way to TMC? I am planning on driving up wonderful I-5 on Thursday July 9 and driving back to L.A on Sunday July 12. I could time it to be at Harris Ranch if anyone is doing a swap one of those days. I am probably not eligible for a swap with...

Doug, Daniel, and all other Connect organizers, Thank you for all your hard work getting this years conference up and running. Amy and I are looking forward to TMC Connect 2015. Andy

Not really a Connect topic but I am looking for someone interested in a Home and Tesla swap June/July 2016. I am in Brisbane Australia and am looking to spend the three weeks before Connect next year in the US. Anyone interested we can meet at Connect this year and talk about it.

When my brother and I arrive at the Hyatt Regency on 7-10 for TMC Connect we'll have our two dogs with us, my 60 - 65 pound Labrador Retriever and his 10 pound Cockapoo. They will have traveled cross country with us and we'll be staying at pet friendly hotels along the way. The Hyatt Regency...

LARTE DESIGN symbolizes the art of transformation and the passion for self-expression and individuality. Designed with bold lines and eye-catching tuning elements, your Tesla will not be unnoticed. Bold lines and unique design will set you apart from the crowd. Come see us at the TMC Connect...

Doug, what is the status of the factory tours? When I registered, I requested a factory tour. Did the emails go out with the tour information (and I missed it)? Or has that information not been finalized yet? Thanks.

As most of you know, for lunch during TMC Connect we have several tables that are designated for specific discussion topics. You then sit at the table (first come first served) for the topic you'd like to discuss over lunch. Please suggest what discussion topics you'd like available this year...

Delanman and I are driving from the East Coast to TMC Connect starting on July 4. We'd love have other Model S'ers meet us along the way or join us for the trip. My brother will share the driving duties with me, and our dogs, one a yellow lab the other a Cockapoo, will be along for the ride...

I know about the 15 icon but other than cruising around all the posts and looking for it is there another way?

Looking at the map of where Picnic Creek is, and the Roseville Supercharger, it looks like the Hyatt Place Sacramento/Roseville is right next to the Roseville Supercharger, and they're both only about 15 minutes to Picnic Creek. The cost is also quite reasonable - $139/night Making my hotel...

Hi Tesla Friends, What's the best airport to fly to from Belgium, Europe and the best way to transfer from the airport to the Hyatt hotel in Santa Clara?

Hi Tesla Friends, I'll be coming from Belgium to TMC Connect 2015 and staying at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara Conference Hotel. I've booked from July 9th until 13th. Does anybody want to share the room with me and split the costs? (Got the 2 Double Beds :biggrin:) Byron Soulopoulos President...

Hello, I am a new (and happy) owner of 7+ months. I am curious about the upcoming TMC connect, especially the Saturday conference and party. From what I have read is looks like its just an opportunity for people to stand around and talk about their cars. Seven months ago I would have thought...

If you're interested in speaking at TMC Connect this year, be sure to let us know. Fill out our speaker form here: Speaker Form TMC Connect

---- UPDATE ---- REGISTER FOR THE PICNIC AT: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/party-at...ts-16353669265 I'm using EventBrite this year - easier organization and ensures that everyone is donating the same towards costs (thanks to those of you who donated lasted year, it helped). Costs cover...

How many people drive in? Since picking up my car, I keep looking for excuses to drive and a road trip down the coast looks like fun. And does the event sell-out as I am still working out my schedule. Thanks

Since December 2013, the idea of lighting the chrome strip on back of the Tesla Model S (the appliqué), original posted by artsci, has evolved into something spectacular! Here is the thread where it all started. In appreciation for artisci and Danal's work (and all the contributors), lets have...

Over dinner I was pondering the idea of Valet Mode Races sometime during the weekend at TMC Connect this year. It seems like a good equalizer across the Model S line. Note: We may need a separate class for Roadsters that want to participate in Valet Mode racing.

At TesLive (2013), there were armbands for Roadster owners, Model S owners, Model X reservations, and "other EV". At TMC Connect (2014), the armbands were revisited and there was a shortage of Model S arm bands so some folks got "incorrect" armbands. For TMC Connect 2015, we should...

Tesla Motors Club (TMC) is excited to announce TMC Connect 2015, our third annual users’ conference and expo. TMC Connect 2015 will take place on the weekend of July 10-12, 2015 in Santa Clara, California. This year we will continue to provide our conference attendees with networking...

TMC Connect 2015 is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of July 11th. Last year, Party at Picnic Creek (PPC2014) was held on the Thursday night prior to the conference. Sunday night wasn't an option because of Refuel events. We have a choice this year between Thursday (right before the...

Last year we got the 'save the date' post about now and the 'northern California' region as a locator - a couple months later Northern California was defined as Monterey. Is there anything in the works yet we can plan around? Thanks!

Just wanted to create a centralized place for us to link to and post all TMC Connect 2014 related photos. I will update this post as more photos come in. Photos by Christine Bjerke: https://goo.gl/photos/kMqCFzHPVxdKiQXQ8 Photos by Davis Custom Digital...

Hey, I wanted to centralize a place for those that attended TMC connect to provide tidbits and snippets and jems they learned at TMC Connect this year. Anything new you heard from the keynotes, or anything exciting you learned, anything at all that was really valuable, new, interesting, etc.

I offered my boogie board at the parking area at the hotel to assist in async communication, but didn't get it back. It has my forum handle in sharpie on the back. Anybody find it? Not a big ticket item, but I kind of like having it with me.

For those that couldn't stay, here are the results:

XBox One with Forza underway in my room. Not many people yet. 40 bottles of beer that need to go. Please help.

If anyone else is still around and would like to get together for dinner Sunday night, ping me.

I'm going to try posting direct during the day....not sure if it's going to work. Anyone else wants to post here also pls feel free.... Folks start arriving: - - - Updated - - - Mission Control:

For those of us who could not attend this year's TMC conect in person :crying:, will here be a video of the keynote or the breakout sessions after the event? Thanks.

Getting ready to head down to Monterey in a couple of hours. Having done things like this in the past for my day job, I know what an immense amount of work to pull off even a small conference, so I just wanted to say thanks to all the folks that have put in many hours to make this happen. O

With about 3,000 miles of bugs on my car, I'm looking for recommendations for good detailing places that might be able to clean mine up. Ideally somewhere that does the foam thing, is familiar with xpel, and can fit me in tonite or tomorrow morning. I should be near Palm Springs around 3p...
