Do you need charging facilities at the upcoming "Model S Ride Event?"
I was chatting with some Tesla employees this afternoon in Menlo Park, trying to get some advance information on the upcoming Model S Ride Event at the Tesla Factory. All I could get was:
1) The event will be this fall.
2) You will be able to register via the web after the announcement is sent.
3) Elon will be there.
4) They realize how popular the event will be, with thousands of reservation holders, so they're serious about only 2 people per reservation.
5) They are talking with local hotels trying to work out group rates for people coming from out of town.
I mentioned that people will be driving their Roadsters to the event, and that some will need charging. They said that the Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Santana Row chargers will be available, but didn't know how many chargers they'd have in Fremont. I volunteered to take a poll on the TMC forum, so they could plan accordingly.
Do you need to charge at the event? I'll gather the numbers and email the results in so that Tesla has an idea of what to expect. Please don't say you need charging if you don't - with so many attending chargers may be scarce and they should be used by people who really need them.
