Volkswagen sponsorship of Toronto Santa Claus Parade

[rypalmer]

I was interested to see every parade float today was hauled by a Volkswagen SUV. VW has every right to try to rebuild their image through community partnerships but it would be great to see such things trend toward carbon neutrality.

It would be a great showcase of the utility of the Model X for it to be the vehicle of choice for a future parade, this one or another. I'm sure many X owners would volunteer their car for such an initiative but Tesla would have to provide a sponsorship.

Does anyone know if Tesla Canada has done anything like this?

Tesla doesn't do much marketing in general. Don't they continue to say that they can sell every vehicle that they can make?

Do you think an organization like otoc would be able to provide one?

Tesla didn’t, but I did.

Was this a Xmas parade or a drive down Main Street?

Hey @Buggle I was just asking a question - what are you disagreeing with?

Bedford’s parade of lights.

Just for shits & giggles.

I agree I’ve been to many parades and choked on truck, atv & generator fumes
