The Battle for 2nd Place

[Larry Chanin]

Thank you Larry for the information. It will be a swift visit to Cape Canaveral but who knows.

I'm very excited and hoping to see some Model S driving around in FL when we visit

Hi Zorba,

We have quite a few of our Florida Tesla Motors Club members with Signature reservations with low numbers, and rumor has it that Florida has the second most reservations behind California. However, its a large state and the chances of randomly seeing a Model S on the road in September is slim.

If we have a club event in September, I'll send you a private message.

Washington state will accept your challenge. I have heard that Washington is second behind California.
If only we could have a friendly bet and Tesla would tell us the answer.

Take the bet Larry! I've been told by more than one Tesla employee that FL is second only to CA in number of reservations.

P.S. Before this thread goes wildly OT, please don't forget that there is a Model S Tally thread.

Hi Rich,

Its possible that both statements were true at some point in time.

So to fan the flames of speculation, I see that the Tesla Jobs page lists three Tesla facilities in Washington State, but four Tesla facilities are listed for Florida.

The battle for second place is amusing to us.

That would be great. Thanks

Seconded for second. There is no doubt Texas will crush Florida and Washington. Houston is America's fourth largest city (soon to be three) and doing well financially, Austin's got the tech crowd, greenies, and musicians, and Dallas has... whatever Dallas has. Fading 80s glory? Anyhoo, I'll stack that up against Miami Beach and Seattle any day of the week.

By the way Florida is organized. We currently have 55 members in the Florida Tesla Motors Club. When deliveries of our cars start, and we begin organizing rallies we'll start a wave of new Florida reservations. California look out!!
