While exact times have yet to be determined, the two Friday tour times will fall between noon and 4pm, the two Sunday tour times will fall between 10am and 2pm.

Note that the factory will not be running on Sunday. That will make it easier to hear your tour guide, you will see lots of interesting stuff - but you will not see cars rolling off the production line.


  • No children under 12.
  • No photography.
  • Wear appropriate footwear (no flipflops/sandals/open toe shoes/heels).


Priority will be given to Non-local/Roadster or Model S owner/no previous factory tour. I'll update the list by priority until this Sunday evening, May 12th @ 6pm PST. After that, any open slots on the tour signup lists will be first-come, first-serve. (And if I don't find your name on the TESLIVE registration list, you will be removed from the tour. Sorry!)

If you have registered a guest for TESLIVE, then you are welcome to sign up for them also. Please put them on a separate line, so we keep an accurate count.
-------------
UPDATE - GOOD NEWS!!

Big shout out to Tesla Marketing who did what they had to do to open up the size of the Friday tours.

So here's the confirmed list for factory tours. After this, it's first-come, first-serve for the remaining few seats. And PLEASE, if you cannot make it for any reason, let me know. I'm sure there will be someone else who would like to go.

Complementary service from the TESLIVE hotel (Crowne Plaza) to/from SJC (San Jose). TESLIVE 2013 - Hotel

Volunteer support to/from SFO/SJC coordinated from this thread *AND* this spreadsheet TESLIVE Airport Shuttle

A couple of you have been gracious enough to send private messages, letting me know you'd be happy to pitch in where ever we might need help. Please note that there are no free passes for volunteers. I wish I could say there were, but the budget doesn't allow for that.

I'll keep this first list updated with where we might need assistance - if you feel you can help, please reply right in the thread. As we get closer to the event, we'll contact people with specific needs.

Right now, we believe we will be able to use assistance with:


  • Parking logistics
  • Charging schedule (we're currently collecting charging needs)
  • Carpooling
  • Registration Table
  • Event Photography
  • Coordinate SJC airport pickup/dropoff requests with hotel shuttle / SFO requests with TMC driver volunteers (discoducky - see separate thread for more information)
  • Pick up / drop off fellow TMC members from airport (SFO)
  • Event setup
  • Post-event cleanup
  • First-Responder/physician attendee contact list
  • Sunday Drive - drive planner/coordinator, based locally


The list is going to grow longer. If you have a special skill that you believe would be helpful to us, please speak up and point it out. We may not have thought about using TMC help.

Thanks :).

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk will be the featured keynote speaker at Teslive, a first-ever users conference being planned for Tesla owners and enthusiasts. Other speakers are expected to include Tesla executives and key industry experts.

The July conference is being organized by grass-roots volunteers with the independent Tesla Motors Club, which has roughly 6,000 active users. TMC's popular online forums have become an organizing force for the electric carmaker's fervent user base, as well as a key source of information for analysts and journalists who follow the Palo Alto-based maker of electric vehicles.

"A forum member said we should do a Macworld, but for Tesla," said Bonnie Norman, 59, who owns a Tesla Roadster and is second in the reservation line to buy the forthcoming Model X. "It just kind of grew from there."

Teslive is being billed as a partnership between TMC and Tesla Motors. The two-day conference is designed to help Tesla owners and enthusiasts meet each other and employees of the company improve their knowledge of the car and find out about future products and services.

The event kicks off July 12 at the Crowne Plaza San Jose-Silicon Valley in Milpitas with exhibits and a networking reception. Saturday includes several breakout sessions and a Tesla Motors-sponsored party that evening at the Fremont factory. On Sunday, organizers envision a convoy of drivers taking to the Woodside hills in Roadsters and Model S sedans.

The event, which has a $200 fee for those who register before May 15, is limited to 300 attendees. But organizers hope it can become an annual conference that grows in size in the future. It is open to "anyone interested in Tesla Motors and their cars."

"The event speaks to the fact that Tesla has been successful at exciting a fan base of customers who will be evangelists for the product," said Andrea James, an analyst with Dougherty & Co. "The company is thinking longer term. You don't have to be a current Tesla car owner to attend. You're still welcome to be a part of the community."

People who have bought electric vehicles from Tesla Motors, as well as those who have reservations, are a very social group. The independent Tesla Motors Club (TMC) has roughly 6,000 active users, and TMC’s popular forums have become a key source of information for journalists and analysts who follow the company.
Now Tesla owners and enthusiasts are taking their passion for the company one step further: a 2-day users conference in July. Think Macworld, but for Tesla.

Known as TESLIVE, the event is being organized by TMC, with support from Tesla. TESLIVE kicks off Friday July 12th at the Crowne Plaza San Jose-Silicon Valley with exhibits and a network reception.
