Starting a thread to gauge interest in a group drive to TOCT in San Luis Obispo in early August. I know a bunch of Roadster owners are planning to attend - and there’s probably many more in a drivable radius who may not be aware of the event!
Plan would be for Bay Area roadsters to meet up in Fremont, and for LA Roadsters to meet up in Hawthorne (those being a roughly equal ~200mi distance and ~4hr drive time from SLO) on Friday morning, and drive down/up together.
(Roadsters from farther away would of course be more than welcome to muster at the starting line!)
R80s can probably make it in a single hop, but some of us will need a charge stop - so I’m figuring each route will need a waypoint (or two!) with good charging infrastructure. A group dinner Friday night and a good night’s sleep, then a morning drive to TOCT in time to park, clean bugs off the windscreen, etc. before the event begins at 10am Saturday.
Some logistics to work out, of course - but if you’re interested, please shoot me a message on TMC and forward this invite to other Roadster owners who might be interested.
Plans will depend on the battery capacities / range of the Roadsters involved, so please include your email, VIN, approximate CAC, and whether you’d be starting from Fremont or Hawthorne in your message. (I will keep your information in confidence, apart from the aggregate number of expected participants from each starting point.)
Depending on participation, we may be able to work out a group rate at a hotel, get a Roadside Assistance sponsor, have some fun swag or rally cling stickers printed up, etc. - so spread the word!
If you have ideas as to how to make it more fun, post them up in this thread - I’m all ears!
