Thanks Doug!

Does anyone have any connections with people in Ottawa or Montreal Canada that would be interested in this beer tour? I know it's a long shot...

 

[teslatradeup]

Does anyone have contacts for people that would be interested in helping me promote my quest (http://www.teslatradeup.com) on Twitter and Facebook somehow. I've tried time and time again, but I don't have many connected friends...

Thanks everyone for your support!

To everyone who don't know me, here is a new video introducing myself and my quest to trade up to a Tesla:

Shopify gets involved in my next trade! Check out the announcement:

One of Shopify's biggest customers is Tesla Motors...

My 7th item has been announced on my blog at the following address:

http://teslatradeup.com/2011/06/15/12-month-enterprise-online-store-package-from-shopify/

It is an enterprise online store package for 12 month from Shopify! This package is valued at 3000$USD... More that doubling the value of the brewery tour! I am now sitting on a trade item that is 75x the value of the item I started with, my old camera. Not to shabby!

I think he's pointing out that the Roadster is going out of production. But I suspect you're looking for a used Roadster; you're probably not going to get Tesla to trade for it!

Ya, that's what I thought... when is it going out of production exactly? I better make a huge trade soon!!!

The short answer is, as soon as they run out. Definitely by the end of the year.

It is now all over the news... What a buzz kill! He wasn't kidding... I guess now my only option will be a used one unless a miracle happens!

New blog post regarding my visit to Shopify to finalize my 6th trade, check it out:

Anyone need a full featured online store?

A small change was made to the Shopify package - it has been changed to a 3000$ gift certificate. And due to a current promotion, the 3000$ could be used to purchase the new Unlimited online store package for 23 month and 0% transaction fees (this is huge)! This is a limited time offer so if you know anyone that was on the fence regarding starting an online store, this is the time!

Check out my blog entry for details:

Okay... So I'm now working two trades deep and another electric vehicle company seems very interested in making a trade with me. However they do not need an online store but would like an IOS development package. They are looking at building an app that would incorporate a charging station located map similar to the app plugshare.

Anyone know a company that does web and iPhone development that would like join in? They could perhaps use the Shopify gift certificate for future customers in exchange for some IOS work?

Thanks everyone!

Tesla Motors is coming to Ottawa and I am booked for a test drive @ 2pm this Friday. I'm planning to tape my whole test drive - is there anything I should be testing out while seated in the Tesla that would be cool on video? Like stuff that normal people don't know about electric cars?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Test out your fun factor, or the percentage increase in the Tesla Grin and report to all!
