Anyone interested in 1-April Cars & Coffee at Plano Classic BMW? One or two others were interested in another thread, and I found out this is the 'proper' thread... I heard you have to get there EARLY (around 5:30am). Sounds a little crazy (for a Saturday), but it's my first meet-up with other Tesla owners so I'm a little excited.
I read this forum and Tesla's official forum incessantly, so I think it would be good to get out and talk shop, tips, etc.
The better the weather, the earlier you line up outside is better.
Once the gates open @ 6, there is typically a steady stream of cars rolling around inside.
Gates
typically close @ 7 AM unless you are in an exotic (Lambo, McLaren, Ferrari), but in February weather was cool and they let people in for a long time after the 7 AM gate time.
C&C officially starts @ 8 AM, and the English cars are in one area, Porsches in one area, BMWs in one area, Corvettes, etc.
Trucks and Off-road Jeeps just park ON the islands.
Daylight savings just started this weekend, so it is really dark @ 7 (like this morning).
If you arrive at 6, you can get in.
If you arrive at 6:45, you might get in, because the lines are long, and cars drive around trying to glom onto areas with similar make/model cars.
If I get in early, I will park a chair in a vacant parking space next to my car -- first one in gets the parking spot!
Northbound Tollway has lots of late night construction, so there is also that to consider.
