Here is a video my daughter and I made from the event. This was a world record attempt to have the most cars/longest parade of Tesla’s, ended up with around 340. The event also highlighted and donated money to a charity to support the fight of human trafficking.

.Final number was 340. The recorded footage was sent to Guinness World Records for validation - we will see what happens.
Here's my video of the walkthrough of the staging event if anyone's curious to see all the cars that attended. It was quite remarkable how many people were able to come together for this event - took me over 15 minutes walking to record all of the cars. Everyone there was quite friendly, let me know if you see your car!
Nope. Lived there for years. Same in NC and SC....think it's true for all of the southeast.
Wow this was so cool to see, and given covid with not much people can do, a fun thing to be part of in a safe way. Also nice to see so many people wearing masks in the parking lot. I have a friend who lives outside of Atlanta and she's told me that the coverage hasn't been all that great. We've done a few Tesla meetups that went from one location to another but nothing like this. Hope you guys made it into the Guinness record book.
I have no idea how someone would organize this but sure took a lot of coordination. I am curious. Did the patrol officers on the highway just stop all non-parade traffic at the entrance ramps until you guys passed? Given the number of cars I wonder how long that would have been from start to finish. I live in California in the SF Bay area but apart from maybe being at the Tesla Delivery Center or seeing photos of the factory lot can't say I've ever seen that many Teslas in one place. Wonder what other drivers who were out thought about this. Please post any local coverage you guys got and thanks for letting us "ride" with you!

Yes they blocked the entire interstate before where we entered. Police had each on-ramp blocked as well. The first 200 or so cars or had a clean run all the way down. Some in the back part of the parade had to deal with other vehicles on the road. I heard this was due to some Participants that stopped at intersections that were blocked and gave way too much room with the Tesla in front. This caused a big gap in the highway portion.

Saw a write up on CleanTechnica and thought I'd share. Love to see any local TV coverage if there was. Nice job on raising for the cause. Love the drone footage video. Looks like some of the cars forced to wait as the cars passed did a U-e. Not surprised. I'd love to know the wait time.

I believe the organizers are putting the video footage together. We might have to do a reattempt anyway so come to the next one!
I only saw one roadster unfortunately
