TMC Connect

All - Here are some of the photo highlights of our journey across the beautiful country of ours thus far... It's been an AMAZING Trip! Aaron

Front/Rear lighted T installation And Parcel Shelf Independent Auto Light Solution For those who might be free during the last session (~4pm), artsci will doing a demo install on the front and rear on my Model S. I also have a working demo (as of late last night!) of my attempt to light the...

What better way to remember your visit to Monterey, CA for TMC Connect 2014 then a beautiful poster. I'll preface that I will not be profiting from this endeavor. I'm simply getting the ball rolling. Now it may be a little late for it to be ready in time for the event, BUT, if you vote on...

My wife is interested in going on one of the whale watching boat tours on Saturday morning. Is anyone else thinking about that?

I'm curious what is included in the reception. Lots of food or just a little? Should I make separate dinner arrangements? Also, is there a kids rate for the Sunday breakfast?

My wife is taking the kids to the Aquarium on Saturday while I'm in the conference, but the hotel doesn't have a shuttle and she would rather not drive and look for parking and all that. I think I'll duck out during the coffee break to drop them off and then pick them up at the end of the day...

I'm bringing my DJI Phantom quadcopter to the event. Hope to get some cool shots of the cars. Not sure if I'll be able to get any footage at the track on Sunday, but fingers crossed...

Based on the schedule looks like we are free Saturday night after 5:30 pm. Anyone want want to do a group outing? I am not talking about a group drive because I suspect chargers will be busy all weekend for people that need to charge to get home on Sunday. I am thinking we could get small...

Just wanted to warn those traveling, that the weather in Monterey is not what one from out of town might expect. Growing up in the East Coast I thought it was always hot and Sunny in CA. Weather this week in Monterey is predicted to be in the 50's to 70's deg F (14-22C). With the coastal fog...

Due to unforeseen circumstances I am in need of a ride up from LA and back. I can meet you wherever is most convenient. Is anyone willing to take me? Thanks

We're excited to be adding Steve Jurvetson to our line up at TMC Connect. TMC Connect - The Official Conference of Tesla Motors Club

I'll be bringing with me to TMC Connect a front lighted T, a pre-production rear lighted T, and the front/rear touchscreen camera switch. Regarding the camera switch, if anyone attending TMC Connect has ordered one and would like me to do a demo installation on his or her car, I'd be pleased to...

Hi all - I'll be speaking about the intersection of design and performance in the Tesla Model S. I am interested in what you think so I have posted two simple polls on my blog - one about design, one about performance - and I'd appreciate if you wouldn't mind wandering over there to vote. I'll...

Can someone in the know add any details to what "we will have coordinated EV charging on site (please bring all your adapters)" means? Thanks, O

I know Bonnie is holding a pre-event BBQ at her house Thursday night but there may be some of us in Monterey Thursday who can't make it up there in time for Bonnie's BBQ. Thought I'd check and see if any of those not able to make the BBQ, but in Monterey Thursday night wanted to get together...

I know some of you TMC Connect attendees plan to drive various distances (even cross country) to the event. I also know some of you might be passing through the SF Bay Area, especially if you are hitting Bonnie's shindig before going to Monterey. Your S might be in need of some TLC by that time...

For those flying in/out to TMC Connect and staying at the conference hotel, the hotel shuttle takes care of getting to/from the airport. But is there anything organized for REFUEL on Sunday? Would drivers/participants be able to offer rides to/from the track from the hotel? (As much as I...

Hi everyone - I am speaking at TMC Connect this year and my topic is: Model S: The Intersection of Aesthetics and Performance Whether you are attending or not, if you have any particular insights, opinions, or issues to share regarding this, please feel free to post here (gets a conversation...

I'm hosting a bbq for the folks driving cross-country to TMC Connect at my place in Loomis, CA (approx 210 miles from TMC Connect in Monterey) the night before the conference begins. We'll have live music, Solar City here, pool (bring a suit, towel, sunscreen!), and lots of food. Local folks...

Thread tables, topic tables, birds of a feather... I'm not sure we ever decided on a single name, but a feature of TMC Connect is that at lunch time we have tables designated for specific discussion topics. You then sit at the table (first come first served) for the topic you'd like to discuss...

Just a reminder that early bird pricing ends tonight at midnight. After which there will be a moderate price increase. Registration TMC Connect Also, our discount hotel rate of ~$199/night will only be available until June 16th. https://resweb.passkey.com/go/TeslaMotorsClub Hope to see...

Look in the upper right hand corner of your screen! (Well, I just saw it this morning, maybe was there for awhile...)

My understanding is that registration opens at 9am PDT June 6, 2014 (tomorrow morning). If you are interested in performance events such as autocross or track sessions, be sure to try to register early. No need to register as a spectator or for the EV parade lap. REGISTER 2014 | REFUEL Races

I've watched the TMC Connect web page for months now and have yet to see any description of what the event will consist of. The "Event Details" link goes nowhere. Am I missing something? As a Model S and TSLA owner I'm naturally interested in attending the event but am reluctant to hand over...

I'm coming to TMC connect a day early and contacted the factory for a tour...but they aren't giving any in July. I just reserved a Model X #9898 and I'm getting a Model S from Hertz for about the cost of renting a small plane. Instead of the factory tour, I was thinking of golfing when I had a...

I will be embarking on a road trip to TMC Connect this summer from Dallas,TX. I thought I would share my plans in case anyone is making a similar trip July 15 Day 1: Dallas to Amarillo July 16 Day 2: Amarillo to Albuquerque to Flagstaff July 17 Day 3: Flagstaff - Barstow July 18 Day 4: Barstow...

Just booked TMC Connect today and planning on driving from Vancouver, BC in a new 60. So open to carpool! Feel free to get in touch. rolosrevenge got shotgun if he wishes since he posted a thread about it months ago.

I travel quite a bit because of my job, and would like to meet up with Tesla owners where I go, mainly North America. Is this part of the forums for this purpose? I can imagine there are a lot of other "I'm coming to X-town next week, anyone who would like to meet?"

I've signed up for TMC Connect, and am trying to convince my wife to join me. While she is the daily driver of the Model S, she isn't nearly as obsessed with Tesla and EVs as I. I figured a trip to California would be fun for her as well...but she isn't on board yet. So what (non-Tesla...

Anybody got an open seat whose driving down to TMC Connect from the Seattle area? I'd love to come along. I'll even split the cost of the electricity with you :biggrin:

tldr; TMC Connect even registration is open for those that pre-registered. tmc-connect.com We are excited to announce that registration for TMC Connect 2014 is now live. If you pre-registered, you now have 48 hour early access to register for the conference as well as book your hotel rooms...

All - Decided to start a new official thread for the Cross Country @TeslaRoadTrip to TMC Connect 2014! Below you'll find the original list of people interested in taking part, in addition too several people who have emailed me. Please take a look and confirm with me if you're still interested...

Starting a thread for those on the East coast who are interested in convoying together to TMC Connect 2014 and then shipping our cars back. Reply here with interest. Once we have a sense of how many ppl are interested (vehicles) I'll start calling around to see if I can negotiate a group deal.

Tesla Motors Club (TMC) is excited to announce our official summer symposium, TMC Connect 2014. This is our follow up to TESLIVE 2013, and our second annual users’ conference and expo. TMC Connect 2014 will take place on the weekend of July 18-20 in Northern California. This year we will...

A father-daughter pair is making what may be the first transcontinental drive in a Model S using only Tesla supercharger (solar) power. They left before the full E-W string of superchargers was completed, but the remaining ones are coming online as they travel. They made it through the bad...

The director of the new film from the makers of The Cove approved me sharing this little peek of the special Model S from the set of the new film... Somewhere in a warehouse in San Francisco... If you haven't seen their first film "The Cove" check it out. It won over 100 awards globally...

Front page of the Style section, big glowing T logo with "Are you a Teslaholic? Go ahead and hug the curves - this electric car engineers a cultlike following." by Nellie Bowles Addicted to Tesla That was news to me, that Newsom has a winery and he has superchargers there. Pretty...

Would any of the organizers for Teslive 2014 care to share thoughts about timing and venue. Some of us (nerds) try to arrange vacations in the summer around kids' schedules, airfares, work, etc. and the more advanced notice we have the better. Thank you.

Ok, Maybe it's time...

BBC News - Could a near-supersonic tube be the future of transport? A short blip of TESLIVE at the open.

At Teslive, Jerome suggested we email him with service suggestions. I seem to remember that he said "I am the only Jerome." I took that to mean that his email was [email protected] - but this didn't work. Anyone get his actual email address?

TESLIVE 2013 was the first annual Tesla Motors Club Conference Event and Expo in Silicon Valley. Passionate Tesla owners traveled in their Tesla Model S' and Roadsters from across North America with some driving from as far away as New York and Montreal. Tesla Motors fans flew in from Spain...

Blink gave each TESLIVE attendee a USB key drive loaded with their marketing materials. In case you would like to use that key drive for other purposes, such as downloading logs from your Roadster, you might be interested in the modification I did to make the activity LED visible. The key...

For those of us who didn't have the opportunity to attend, can anyone summarize anything learned regarding future plans for the company and especially for the Model S? Obviously most interested in future retrofits and the SC network roll-out. ...or was there not much in the way of inside info...

I had a "present" waiting for me when I got home today, a box from Tesla. Inside, carefully bubble wrapped, was my license plate I gave to Bonnie with the hope of having it signed by Elon (he'd responded to my tweet about it when I got it, so he probably remembered it). Gotta get duplicate...

So I missed Teslive 2013, but I'd like to attend 2014. I've also dreaming of a cross country supercharger road trip. Yesterday, PDXTelsa had a gathering and short rally, which was great fun. Why not combine them? Anyone want to rally with me? Since I'm in Portland, OR, I'd transport...

I think I've read almost universally on these threads that everyone had a good time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves at TESLIVE 2013. I also think that the organizers did a great job (even if I'm still trying to figure out the real meaning of the puzzle teasers from a few months back!) and I...

Rolosrevenge needs your assistance. :) One of our various "warm water discussions" was about getting Rolo in a Tesla. Given that he isn't willing to spend for a full Model S, the proposal was that he send a mock-up of the "Model C" to Elon. This would be a vehicle where you take the Model S...

For those that heard my "after passing, I saw and heard a jet overhead" story. The dashcam captured it. Before After A close-up of the FO in question: Here's a better cut for hearing it: Cross-referencing with REST data, the GPS coordinates are 36.255512,-119.967646 which puts it...

Well I didn't really chicken out because Elon had to leave right before I asked my question, but I don't think I would have gone through with it anyway. I almost wanted to ask Elon why Tesla doesn't put a wind turbine behind the grill of the Model S as a joke before I asked my real question.
