Tesla Run September 8th 2013

Tesla Sponsored: Tour de Tesla – A Southern California Police Escorted Drive!

We ‘soft-launched’ it a month ago and already have 31 cars signed up & 69 spots remaining.

Tour de Tesla is now going to kick it in to high gear this week with marketing and announcements of more surprises. Two weeks remain! Full disclosure, I’m just a fan-boy receiving no remuneration but just longing for a ‘top-shelf’ Tesla Rally experience like we had in years gone by. So I approached Tesla with this idea to rekindle the Tesla Run; they loved the idea but had no man-power to devote to it. So I approached my friend, Elie who was an exhibitor at Teslive. I know that he’s done these events for other car manufacturers & most recently Italian Stampede with a 3-mile long police motorcade escorted processional that traveled 8/15/13 all the way from Chatsworth to Monterey for Concours d’Elegance! Elie said yes & Tesla said yes. They are still in final negotiations as to nailing down destination logistics, swag, and lunch, but here’s what we do know:

Sunday, September 8, 2013 @ around 9:30 AM
Starts at the Hawthorne SuperCharger Station / Tesla Design Center / SpaceX
Tesla Motors is hosting continental breakfast & a few keynote speeches
Tesla Motors & Tour de Tesla to provide ‘swag bags’
Police Motorcade escorted rally will drive around 30 miles away to a gorgeous sit-down lunch destination
Open to anyone driving any Tesla (already signed up are some from NorCal & some from out of state)
More surprises yet to be announced

If you’ve never been on a car rally & you have a Tesla, you NEED to go once and you’ll be hooked! I’m not saying this rally, I mean any Tesla rally!
Now, if you’ve been on a FREE Tesla rally (this one is $75) and you left in groups of a dozen or so cars with walkie-talkies for some but not all and you got lost and non-Tesla cars were getting in between you & red-lights & stop-signs meant stop & you’ve never been on a police motorcade escorted rally, then you MUST go on this one and you will be hooked! That’s where much of the money is going! Membership has its privileges!
