Supercharger - Tesla Meetup at V3 in Ocean City, MD

[JD T]

The Maryland Tesla Owners, along with the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners and the Susquehanna Valley Tesla Owners are setting up a Tesla Meetup Ribbon Cutting at the new (first in Maryland) V3 Supercharger in Ocean City. We would love to have you all join us.
I am working to set up a schedule of activities and we have a nice oceanfront hotel at a group discount.

You can visit the Facebook Event page to keep up with the latest and contribute to the conversation and I will try to update this thread as well.

Sorry to hear that. So far we have 20 confirmed going on the FB event page and another 60 interested. Should be fun, but there will be others

Just a reminder, anyone wanting to stay overnight on Friday or Saturday, the Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort is only holding rooms for us to reserve until March 6th. After that, they could run out of rooms or not have them somewhat together.

Updates for OC Activity planning. So far we have 10 rooms booked at the Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort for Friday night and 11 for Saturday night. I have reservations of Fager's Island Restaurant for 6pm on Saturday (I told them to expect at least 20-25, if we have more, I'll update them). Lunch will be at the Shark after the ribbon cutting. Still working on a Saturday activity for after lunch activity. Thinking Bowling or Miniature Golf at this point. Also, I was thinking maybe doing Dinner at the Hotel on Friday (for those who come early), Breakfast, Saturday and maybe a Happy Hour on Saturday night (maybe that could be near the pool). And maybe Breakfast for those who stay until Sunday. Talking with Princess Royale about that. Thoughts?

QUESTION:
Still working the schedule and all of the details. How many would go bowling (around 2pm on Saturday) if we reserved the whole bowling alley? It would cost, at most, between $15 and $35 for two hours depending on how many want to go.

Only a few rooms left at the Princess Royale (see post above for reservation information). Don't forget to bring your bathing suits

 

[JD T]

Wow, I should have said Suites not Rooms. This is a really nice hotel! Don't forget to use code Group #5005 when booking.

In the "early" days, I attended a number of these informal ribbon cuttings, along with an official one (Charlottesville, VA) in which Tesla Motors was represented. Our calendar just cleared up, so we plan to join the festivities. 2 of us. Not sure if we'll drive the S or the X. Have made reservations at the group hotel for Friday and Saturday nights.

 

[JD T]

Awesome! Bring your swimsuits, awesome indoor pool at the hotel.

 

[artsci]

Just reserved a room. Coming with my Model 3. Will be there Friday night and will have to leave Saturday night after dinner. Look forward to the event and meeting new Tesla friends and seeing some of the ones I already know,

Sadly, It will just be a day trip for us. We'll leave DC area early Saturday. Need to be back in DC by 6 p.m. We'll stay as long as we can before heading back.

The Maryland Tesla Owners, along with the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners and the Susquehanna Valley Tesla Owners are setting up a Tesla Meetup Ribbon Cutting at the new (first in Maryland) V3 Supercharger in Ocean City. ...

Just an FYI the supercharger station just on the East end of the Bay Bridgeis in Maryland and it's V3 too.

 

[Only Trons]

@JD T ;

Unfortunately, something has just come up and we no longer will be able to attend the event. I've cancelled our hotel reservations.

Have a great time!

 

[JD T]

Sorry to hear that. I'll post here on how it goes or if any plans change.

 

[JD T]

Just an FYI the supercharger station just on the East end of the Bay Bridgeis in Maryland and it's V3 too.

I don't think so, those near the bridge are 150kW. The OC one is a 250kW. I could be wrong, it would not be the 1st time

**********************************************************

UPDATE to the Ocean City V3 Supercharger Meetup event (https://www.facebook.com/events/241422780197933/): Due to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and for the sake of prudence, we have decided to postpone the Official Ribbon Cutting Event for the Ocean City Maryland Superchargers. This event will be rescheduled for a future date.

If anyone would still like to meet up, several of us will be staying at the hotel Saturday night and doing lunch on Saturday, a caravan drive and nature walk (weather permitting), hanging out at the pool, and dinner at Fager’s. This will no longer be considered an official club event and those that want to come, we insist, must be healthy and have no known exposure to COVID-19 (or flu) or high risk for disease complications. If you are not planning to join us, please switch yourself on the event response from “Going” to “Interested” or “Not Going”. Personally, I (Jeff D Taylor) am planning on being there early Saturday and staying until early Sunday. I will be putting out more information soon for those who still want to join us for the informal meetup. Please, the situation is changing rapidly so pay attention to posts for updates. Those not going, don't forget to cancel your reservations and I will post again with an update before Tuesday, so those with a reservation can make a last-minute decision.

Thank you all, and keep a watch out for a future event when circumstances allow.

How did I get charging over 850 MPH at those chargers then? It was adding 1 mile every 5 seconds of charging on my model 3.
