You've already received an e-mail for Chicago? I still haven't received it yet.

Oh!

My bad. I received the Seattle notice but was looking at the Chicago dates.

I'd bring my wife and my kids. I have a 5 year old to test the rear-facing seats and my 5m old to see how the car seat fits. Maybe another 6-footer like myself to sit in back and rate the experience.

Tesla has said they are not allowing children under 8-years-old to partake in the Get Amped event. Maybe that will change once the stores have full-time demo cars, but for now, the wee ones have to stay home (much to the disappointment of my wife and 19m/o).

That's too bad; I suppose I understand though since this is the first run of events.

I'll be there either Friday (my birthday) or Saturday.

raptorweb, are you in Dakota Electric service territory?

It's xcel for me but they are very close

We absolutely need a Thursday AM slot. With R#44, one would think our chances were pretty good, but who knows?

No problem. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed the e-mail or something.

I assume the event will be out of the Oakbrook store or do we know for certain yet? We should all meet for lunch or something. I'm planning on getting there Wednesday night (that may change) and going to the event on that Thursday.

I would think Oakbrook.

The downtown service store is on Grand Ave and a short jump to the Kennedy, but given the nature of Chicago roads, the only thing that would get a good test would be the suspension. At least in Oakbrook you can drive around the community and hop on the Freeway there as well. Plus, anyone who comes along an isn't thrilled about the wait and the test drive can go shopping.

[raptorweb]

I cannot confirm that it will be at Oakbrook but when I called a few weeks ago to ask about places to stay close by in regards to the test drives they told me hotels close to the Oakbrook store.

The littles can come, but not ride. There are static betas to try the jumpseats on, I believe.
