Hi Steve,
Not that many seniors hanging around Lincoln Road anymore and you will find more tourists at the Aventura Mall (which BTW has a Fiskar Karma on display). Sure I can also think of a few other hip locations for a Tesla store but Elon made the right choice. t Lincoln road is perfect for exposing the most people possible to EV's and actually signing up a few customers for a Model S or Model X reservation.

Strongly agree. I think eventually Aventura will be a good location for another store, but most of the tourists going though there are from South America, and I don't think Tesla is targeting that market until later, so no need to rush to get a store in there. Lincoln Road is in the heart of South Beach and will get all the high end tourists and glitterati that visit there during the year.

Hi Spike,

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks. I attended the test drive on Friday. My friend John Cross is reservation holder number 4,400 something or other. I was there as his tech guy since I know my stuff an am the proud owner of a 2012 Leaf for 7 months now. I have been reading the TMC forum for awhile but only recenty registed. I told him about the forum and he picked up one of the TMC business cards you had on display at the event. He is not that much into forums so for now I am his proxy.

The Model S is an awesome car and Tesla is an awesome car company. The Get Amped Tour was done nicely and of course the test drive was the highlight!

Thanks for helping out.

After John contacts me I will send him a survey to collect his contact informationa and interests. We do have two TMC forums here, a public Florida forum and a private Group and is only open to Florida Tesla Motors Club members. He can only join the private forum by registering here at TMC and providing me his screen name. I will then send him an electronic invitation to join the private Group.

However, for those members not into forums we do periodically send out a newsletter and emails which will keep him abreast of events.

Keep in mind Lincoln Road is a walking mall, closed to traffic (ironically), so you need to park on a side street nearby and walk to the store. Lincoln Road is great for those going the first time next weekend.

Josh,

I'm afraid I won't be able to organize a club meet-up for this store opening like I had planned. However, for future planning purposes are you familiar with a nearby restaurant that would serve as location for a club meet-up? Figure about 12-20 people.

Thanks.

I believe that Thursday is by invitation only.

There are dozens of restaurants on Lincoln Road. The most popular is Van Dyke's, which has been there a long time and can get crowded. Actually, if it's a weekend night all of the restaurants are crowded, but for lunch Van Dyke's should work (its quite large). Van Dyke is a couple of blocks away, and all around there is Italian, Thai, Sushi, pizza, gelato etc., almost anything you'd want within a 5-10 minute walk.

I probably can't make it on Thursday night, but will try to stop by the store on Friday.
