I've made a similar post over at TM in the Washington DC region page.
As noted by others, a local Cars and Coffee event held at Kohl's Fair Lakes has been closed down.
However, there is a great Cars and Coffee event every Saturday morning at Katie’s Coffee in Great Falls, Virginia. It has become quite an event. Here is the link to an article in the local Great Falls Connection weekly newspaper:
http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2015/jun/23/saturday-morning-special-katies/
In 2013 when I started going to Katie’s, there would be several Tesla cars in the lot. Although I don’t attend every Saturday, when I go now I might be the only Tesla there or sometimes there is one (or two) others.
There are always a lot of Porsches and Corvettes, as well as some real classics. The article in the Great Falls Connection states there are 500 cars each week.
I think it would be fun to have a bunch of Teslas there.
Here’s the catch: this is an EARLY morning event. A few cars start showing up at 5:30 am or so. When I go with my Tesla, I usually get there by 6 am. At 6 am, the side parking lot has only one or two cars in it, but it fills up rapidly and is generally full by 6:45 or so. Then the outlying spaces start filling. Spaces can not be reserved --- it is first come, first served. So if it was desired to have a row of Teslas represented, it would be necessary to have the cars there around 6 am in order to secure adjacent parking spaces. The event closes by 9 am, in order to allow parking for customers of the merchants in the shopping center.
Are other owners interested in attending this event one Saturday morning this summer or fall?
