Biggest EV PARADE on April 18 in MONTREAL. Anyone from Toronto coming?

[znino]

My car was inside the building just after you passed the VIA electric truck. You can just see its DRL's blinking.

The thing I found most remarkable about the parade itself was the huge number of Volts. They seemingly went on and on forever. There must have been over 200 Volts. Shocking!

Doug, if you go to our clubs Facebook page I posted a link to a web page that has a picture of each rear of each vehicle in the parade with the plates. You could always count the volts lol.

So the count is now 437!

A quick scan showed roughly 22 lines of 8 Volt pictures... 176 of them, plus or minus.

I found this on the page...

My son said he counted 57 model S and 3 roadsters. Not half bad!

I actually didn't expect to see this many. Mine was the 3rd Tesla that I actually saw in person! So 50+ in one day was like a shock to me.

Wow, that's excellent! I certainly saw dozens of Teslas, but 60 is amazing!!!

I've never had so little "Tesla Time" in such a large crowd before. "Just another Tesla."

 

[znino]

Wow, that's excellent. I certainly saw dozens of them, but 60 is amazing!

Just to clarify, he counted 57 in the license plate pictures so I guess that has to be accurate

Any idea when the official results will be available?

Not really but my understand is that it can take a while

I didn't see the VIA electric truck and electric boat in the license plate shots?

From my understanding, the boat won't be counted. And i guess the truck's license plate won't be visible while towing the boat.

I confirm 57 Model S and 3 Roadster.

The official result validated by Guinness will be available in 4 to 6 weeks.

According to our count, there was 178 Volt.
We will keep you updated if you were registered.

 

[Doug_G]

So the VIA truck wasn't counted then?

Doug, did you see yourself in the Video I made?

 

[Doug_G]

Yes, at 13:54, and djp is in the car with me. Also my car appears at various other times. Mind-boggling how many EVs were there.
