Teslive Sunday drive

[DrTaras]

I might be behind the wheel of a Model S 85P before Teslive!
P 8040/VIN 4768 60kWH Picked up at Factory on 2/7/2013. Accident/RIP 5/25/2013

VIN 13605 Performance 85 Factory Pickup 7/8/2013.

Ugh! I'm sure you blogged about it elsewhere, but I feel your pain. Had a similar issue with my 1st Roadster in 2009 but I actually MADE money on the deal (search, "Tree Hugs Owner"). Good luck with getting the next incarnation!

No, that is the only sign up sheet that exists currently that I know of. I created it in lieu of an official one as I want to see as many Teslas (Roadsters, Model S/X/Whatever) out there and for all who want a ride to get one )

Thank YOU! Done!

If we are allowed to do the drive without being event attendees (we'd love to go to teslive if it wasn't already sold out), my wife and I definitely will join up for the drive. We will have a couple empty seats to help out with those that need a ride.

 

[jchangyy]

I believe you can. Here is an email I received regarding that same question. I'm just not sure I can make it though.


"Good morning. The event is sold out. However, you can join drive on Sunday. We will leave the Crowne Plaza in Milpitas at 11am sharp.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us. Thank you!

Anyone know what the plan for the Sunday drive is? Any pointers on the route(s), destination(s), etc.?

 

[smorgasbord]

I'm not authorized to say anything official, but here's the story:

1) Anyone with a Tesla can join the Sunday drive.
2) Roadsters are welcome. The expectation/hope is that this will be the most Model S's in a group drive to date. A quick poll showed at least 35 cars.
3) The route involves Calaveras Rd and Niles Canyon Rd. Twisties, and a place to stop for bio breaks/photos.
4) Drive safely and watch for bicyclists. Remember, it's a parade, not a race.
5) The cars will be split up into groups of 10 or so. Leaders will have walkie talkies.
6) Maps will be made available at the hotel before the drive.
7) Arrive enough before 11am that you can get settled for leaving the hotel in a group at 11am.

As I'm trying to plan my day out tomorrow, does anyone know if it would be possible as a non teslive attendee to go to the hotel early (maybe even join breakfast) and utilize the blink chargers? I don't mind paying for the charge if I have to...

Ahh... Thanks

 

[toto_48313]

I'll be there with my dirty Tesla from Montreal...

 

[highedu]

Anybody know the exact route? If going through miles are they going to then head north on foothill through pleasanton?

 

[vfx]

41 cars!

Must be a record "owner drive" of Tesla Model S'.

Did you make it, toto_48313? I didn't notice a Quebecois license plate on the drive.

 

[Kipernicus]

Yes, they made it! So impressive. They pulled in next to the vanagon as it was getting ready to leave.

Group photo on the Sunday Drive

Eric (VFX) had a camera malfunction so I stepped in to get the group shot at the HS parking lot during our TESLIVE Sunday drive. You all look mahvelous...

Somebody else can take on the task of tagging all the faces in the photo.

BTW, Tom Saxton made an independent count: 5 Roadsters and 38 Model S for a grand total of 43 Teslas on the drive. I'm still working on stitching the 360-degree panorama of all the cars present.

 

[SCW-Greg]

Nice shot Steve. I see some familiar faces.

Thanks to all who were there and sharing. It gives those of us who couldn't be there something to hang on to, stay in the know, and live it vicariously through your posts, pics, and streams.

Great shot!

Steve knows the pain of a dropped camera is like a car wreck. It's a DOA Nikon but at least Steve could use my fish for the pano we set up for. Thank you everyone for your patience while we waited for the non-Tesla's to leave.

Bonnie's 41 count was just when we were loaded in.

Quick parking lot video

Sunday in the park

[Owner]

There were 35 roadsters in March 2010, but this was organized through Tesla.

Tesla Roadster Rally | Tesla Owner

41 cars!

Must be a record "owner drive" of Tesla Model S'.

 

[vfx]

44 cars final count.

Tesla can always draw a bigger crowd. They have everyone's email address The Tesla LA store used to to do BBQs every year and always had record Roadster turnouts. They stopped when the S started deliveries out.

Isn't the record 200 in Germany?
