Welcome Houston people, home of the only Tesla store (presently) in Texas. Thought this would be a good place for locals or others to discuss issues in Houston dealing with Tesla, arrange get togethers...etc
 
Hi. Welcome. I don't think it's been officially decided where Tesla will have their service center in Texas although I'd imagine it would be Houston. They're still working with the legislature on getting approval for a service center in Texas I believe. It's technically illegal for Tesla to sell cars in Texas too which is why the sales people in Houston can't talk to you about selling the car, just about the car. They point you to the website where you place your order.
 
Thanks gkalexdc. There are a lot more people in Houston with Roadsters than have not yet posted in this sub forum though but I'm sure the numbers will skyrocket once the Model S gets into more hands.

I merged the two Houston threads.

Houston gets two more Model S deliveries October 5th (mine plus one more) and Austin gets another October 6th (from another truck). Deliveries are accelerating for sure.

Congrats! Now, we need to get some more traffic here in Dallas. WPetefish just got his tonight and I am going to visit him tomorrow am. I don't have a clue when mine will be. Maybe Christmas Eve? That would be nice.

People say the best presents come in small boxes, but I'm not sure about that.

I'll be at Houston Coffee and Cars tomorrow from 8am to 10am (249 @ Louetta) if anyone is interested in meeting up. My car is the 5th Model S in Houston and the car in front of mine on the carrier is the 6th. Dallas still has more, though. :-(
 
You better get yours WAY before then!!! I want MINE by then.
Argh

Heya Stephen, who in Austin is getting theirs?

I'm not sure. Same Delivery Specialist as mine, but I didn't ask. I asked for VINs, but in the excitement of watching the car come off the truck, I forgot them. Houston Model S number 6 was a Roadster owner name Kenneth. I met him at Coffee and Cars the next day, I think he is a dentist. I also met another Roadster owner named Collin.
 
Awesome Stephen!

I'll keep a look out for you around town. I took my LEAF down to the National Plug in Day last month, no Tesla's attended. I was bummed.

I was out of town for Coffee and Cars. Was it a good time? How were the reactions to your S?

I might check it out next month.
 
Very good reaction to the car and I was parked at the end of the world--I talked pretty much non-stop from 8 to 10am. If I'm in town, I'll try to get there earlier next time (3 November) for a better parking spot. It was my first time to go, and I really enjoyed it and met some cool people including the guy who got his Model S delivered after me the same day.
