I have sent a request to join the group and look forward to knowing fellow Tesla owners in-town. My MS70 is "in production" - I hope it arrive by sept 19th.

I'm sure it all depends on your driving habits. My wife would probably be just fine in a Leaf, or even my daughter when she starts to drive. I wouldn't get the Mitsubishi e-car having now seen one in person. That thing's tiny and quite unattractive.After owning and driving a Leaf for 3 years I found nothing about a 65 mile range "nice"!
got my 85D in April and I'm in heaven!
I felt bad for the Leaf owners knowing their limited range and tried not to park near the charging stations so they could plug in. It was also a bit awkward talking to the EVgo folks knowing that I would almost never need their product due to the long range of the Model S and the SuperCharger network. I can easily see the EVgo folks influencing the game to favor short-range e-cars knowing they're their main customers. It's OK, though. I already won big-time when I bought my Tesla. :tongue:Stenn, great you meet you and your daughter as well! I thought my pair of 6s might at least get one of the prizes, but I think there was some funny business going on helping the Leaf owners.
The National Drive Electric Week event at IKEA in Houston was a rousing success!
Completely agree! Time well spent. The Nissan guys were there giving test drives in LEAFs. It's a shame Tesla is not allowed to do that. We provided about 7 Teslas to Represent.The National Drive Electric Week event at IKEA in Houston was a rousing success! I had my 85D and my kid with me. Others also brought their Teslas including a Roadster which I got to sit in. I must say, it's hard not to giggle with delight when sitting in a Roadster. It's an exceptionally cool car. We got to take a ride in a P85D to experience the full force of Insanity Mode which caused more giggles and hoots. There was an electric motorcycle, which was pretty neat, and I got to see the Cadillac that is electric but includes a small gasoline generator to charge the battery. And, of course, there were enough Leafs to make a tree.
The public was very curious and fairly consistent in attendance. I thought I'd only stay an hour or so but ended up staying four hours because I was constantly talking to folks and looking at vehicles. I had no trouble letting people sit in my car and fiddle with the big screen. I showed off the mobile connector and its various adapters as well as the spacious interior of the car. Everyone was very polite and complimentary. The other Tesla owners were great and I learned some new things about my car from them. All around, it was a morning well-spent.
The motorcycle was there early and left around 10ish I think. It was a Zero Electric Motorcycle Videos and Photos || ZERO MOTORCYCLES .Thanks for being part of the event! I brought my folks along so they could see my next car - turns out they'd seen a Tesla on the road before, they'd thought it was slick looking but didn't know what it was. We had a lot of fun checking out the other cars as well, though we missed the electric motorcycle - did they leave early/arrive late or did we just overlook it?
Tesla certainly can do something if they choose to. Aside from the Drive Events that probably aren't appropriate for NDEW, they can offer rides. At Earth Day Texas, they were driving people around the block and that was quite popular. It's on my list to see if I can get something similar organized next yer.It's a shame Tesla is not allowed to do that.
That would be why - we got there at 10:20. My folks drove up from Lake Jackson and we stopped at Kenny & Ziggy's for breakfast on the way to IKEA.The motorcycle was there early and left around 10ish I think. It was a Zero Electric Motorcycle Videos and Photos || ZERO MOTORCYCLES .

Short notice, but the Sierra Club is looking for a few Tesla vehicles at their meeting tomorrow at the Arboretum. Unfortunately I can't go, but if you are interested, details are:
Any photos from the Sierra Club meeting? How was the turnout?
