Join us as we add another billion electric miles to the odometer (emphasis mine). I'm going to be in Austin that weekend for something else, and I thought I might stop by. Do you know if you need to be invited by Tesla to come as an owner?
Anybody going to the Next Billion Tour? (Austin & Southlake) In the event we're not invited, we have some alternative activities planned at TMS, Roanoke & Keller. Come join us! Check out the thread in the Texas Forum. N Texas Tesla Owners -- Events Nearby the Next Billion Tour in Southlake, TX 8/15/15
They're in Southlake every other month, so that's not a huge deal. They're still working on how they intend to involve owners with the event.
Tesla is still flogging "Next Billion," and we're still not invited. Look forward to seeing you at "Cars at the Club @ TMC instead! http://my.teslamotors.com/…/next-billion-tour-experience-mo…
I got an invite just now, but I don't understand what's in it for us owners. I don't need another test drive and that seems to be the main point of the event???
The original intent appears to have been to have owners share how much they love their cars with perspective owners, but that has gone by the wayside. Since you don't have a D, I think you're an appropriate target for a demo drive. In any event, come join us at Cars at the Club at Texas Motor Speedway instead (see link above)!
I had previously RSVP'd for this event, and was told the event was already full via a telephone call from Palo Alto. Then the invitation shows up in my email today.... So I RSVP'd a second time for this event this evening, plan to be going to Southlake Sunday morning whether I hear back from them or not. (8 am is a much better starting time than the local Dallas/Plano C&C where you arrive @ 5:30 am and wait in line for an hour before they even open the gates, lucky if you can get two parking spots together). I do wish TM would be more clear and consistent with their communication.
I wonder how they decided which owners to invite? It seems many of us have not yet received an invitation of any sort.
Who knows how they select who gets invites. I would think that D owners might be off the list and they would target owners who might upgrade. But obviously, that was not the criteria.
I got the invite yesterday for the one in $outhlake. My spouse doesn't think we need another Tesla as we have not worn this one out yet.
Did you get the invite for the drive event or for the coffee reception from 8a-10a? The owner reception is supposed to be to promote owner enthusiasm....not necessarily to sell cars
