Thank you to all who made the trip to Shoreham to share in this special event. I had a great time getting to talk to many of you. It is awesome that you were willing to volunteer your time and efforts at Wardenclyffe! It was obvious that everyone involved was excited to share your enthusiasm for Tesla Motors! Hopefully, this can become an annual event and our paths will cross down the road.
A very special Thank You has to go out to Jim Thompson for organizing this great event.
I hope everyone has a safe (traffic free) travel on your way home.

Hey everybody - the "Tesla Meets Tesla" event on Saturday October 25th went fantastic! Thanks to the 27 Tesla owners (from VA, DE, PA, MD, CT, NY, and NJ!) and all the add'l volunteers for lending a hand to cleanup Wardenclyffe and then show your cars to over 500+ attendees t the afternoon public session. For those who could not attend, you can see some video at RememberTesla.com - RememberTesla.com and also at Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe .
The Tesla Science Center Board intends to make this an annual event, so keep an ear out for next year's event (where will will surely have some Model S "D" and Model X owners in attendance!!!

Glad to hear it was such a success - thanks Jim for all the hard work coordinating 
Hope to make it next year (or next spring if you're inclined to go semi-annual)

It is up to the Tesla Science Center Board of Directors if and when they want to put on this event next year...but I am 99% sure they will! As soon as I hear from them I will post announcements.

Andrew: It's probably a flash presentation, so call up http://www.remembertesla.com/ and you will see it pop up. It is below the banner that says "Latest Stream:Tesla Car Meetup | Will Start October 25th, 2014, 11 AM EDT"

A decent app I occasionally use if I run into flash videos on the iPhone is called 'Skyfire'. Not sure where to locate it these days. It may have been pulled from the App Store.

This was such a fantastic event I am so glad you put this together Jim and glad to have gotten the chance to go!
This was my first ever trip up to New York and going past the city as well. I got my fill of the city as I drove past it and even through it... sight seeing? What's that? The only sights I REALLY wanted to see was the Tesla Museum (soon to be) and help promote a good cause!
We really blew the directors and other more regular volunteers away with our huge crowd of volunteers who showed up, so thank you to everyone else who made it out and it was good fun working beside some of you for the clean up. I really don't think they expected us to do what we did or as much as we did. I only wish we had more time to help them with other cleanup activities! I was constantly told how appreciative they were that we took the time to come up there and help them and it was an honor and a privilege to do so!
As for the Public Event piece, OH... MY... God! There were a TON of people that showed up. I don't know if they originally wanted to come because of the Tesla cars or if it was to see the old buildings or just a nice combination of the two, but wow! We easily had over 500 people there, the lot was packed and parking spread around the outside of the fence.
When I came back from lunch I carefully got my car through the crowd, parked, and was immediately bombarded by people interested in the car! I never thought I would get tired of talking about my car, but by the end of the day... boy! I sure was close! It was non-stop! As soon as I would just about get finished talking with one group of people, another would be walking past and get captivated by what I was saying and then proceed to start asking me a million questions! It was really great that I have been hanging around these forums so much because it seemed like there wasn't a question I didn't know the answer to. Yet again, I got accused of working for Tesla by quite a few people!
At the end of it all, the main guy who was taking video of everything pulled me aside and wanted me to go over the interior of the car with him on camera, so I am likely to show up in a video on their site soon enough. Talk about being nervous as hell, but totally flattered that they would want to use me for that purpose since I am a little ole nobody important.
Although it wasn't my intent of going, I am certain I sold a couple Model S on Saturday and was floored by the interest in the car by so many locals! If there is ever another event for anything else within relative driving distance count me in!

After 50 people asked me "How and where do you charge it?' I felt the same exact way. :smile:
Great event. Great job by Jim. Looking forward to next yerar.

GREAT event...I couldn't stay for all of it, but yes, there was an amazing turnout (500-ish people) and lots of great information and excitement about Nikola Tesla and the Tesla Science Center, and a LOT of interest in the 30+ Tesla cars there I only took a couple of photos, but here they are:

This was a fantastic piece of graffiti inside one of the buildings there which hearkens back to the image of Tesla holding the two lightning balls in his hands (posted below) The inside walls were absolutely covered in graffiti but it was nice to see some amount of creativity being shown by these guys
If they decide to keep this building or whatever, they certainly need to retain this piece of art in the museum because it is awesome!

BTW, one of the goals of the "Tesla Meets Tesla" event was to raise additional funds for the Tesla Science Center. For anyone reading this, the Brick campaign will provide only a drop in the bucket for what the TSC needs to build it's dream of a Tesla Science Center. But if every Tesla Owner and Reservation Holder set aside $1 a day for 365 days and sent that to the TSC, we could fund the entire amount by the next "Tesla Meets Tesla" event!!!! I'm doing my part by sending $365 to the TSC - please join me in doing the same and getting the word out to all your Tesla buds!!!
Actually, you have done more than your "part" by also organizing this very important clean-up/educational/awareness event. For that, Thank-You ! !
Thanks, David - we all can play a part in the rebuilding of Nikola Tesla's last remaining lab!
Thanks, Lanny! Pamela mentioned to me she was going to write an article, but I did not know for whom or where it was posted.
