Getting Delivery Day down from 3,600 seconds to just 300.

  With a backlog of nearly 400,000 Model 3 cars to be delivered in the next year or so there seems there could be a change in the way, the cars are delivered to make it more streamline and efficient. As Tesla plans to increase the number of Superchargers, Service Centers, Staff, and infrastructure to accommodate the demand for its new model and existing cars it also feels it needs to address how it delivers cars on the delivery day. Electrek explains here in an article how Elon Musk plans to improve delivery in a way that speeds up the process allowing a smoother and faster delivery day to accommodate the slightly less than 400,000 eager reservation holders.

All Regular Members, Associate Members & Friends of Tesla are invited to join us at Earth Day Texas (Saturday, April 22)! You don't need to be a member to see Earth Day at Fair Park.
 

It's not just the world’s largest Earth Day event. Join the environmental movement that the world needs right now, unobstructed by politics and fueled by your community

Earth Day Texas is one of our group’s main opportunities to show off the benefits of electric vehicles to the public. We get to show off our cars to hundreds, if not thousands of potential owners!

Earth Day Texas has a whole day worth of exhibits encompassing home, health, culture, community, technology, conservation, policy, industry, and exhibits for children and family too.

More details will be released closer to the event, but expect to be at Fair Park by 9:30 am for admission and escort to our location at 9:45 am. You will be able to leave when you're ready, but Earth Day Texas can easily consume a full day.

We have early admission, free parking inside the event at Fair Park and access to lots of other electric vehicles! You don’t have to stay with your car the entire time — we have plenty of people to watch all of the cars while you step away to check out the great exhibits!

Register now, to ensure you have a spot. Last year, more than eighty thousand people participated! You won't want to miss out on the best parking spaces available.

This event is open to all Tesla owners & non-owners!

The forecast for Saturday, March the 25th is showing to be promising for a great evening of Movies & Teslas.

Sunday, March 25th 
Mostly Sunny/Wind 81/63
"Mostly sunny skies with gusty winds developing during the afternoon. High 81F. Winds SSE at 20 to 30 mph."

With this promising forecast, we won’t have a lot of engines running around us this time. (at least we think)

 

   The Coyote Drive-In in Lewisville has five screens and show double features on each screen every night. The gates open at 5:30 pm and the movies start after dark (between 8:45 & 9:00 pm). Arrive early and enjoy the early evening with your Tesla friends! You can meet us at the centrally-located Coyote Canteen for pre-movie drive-in food, beer and socializing.

  See the movies you want and come when you like! Arrive by 7:30 pm for best locations, parking next to other Teslas and plenty of time to enjoy the pre-movie twilight.  
 

All you need to do is let us know how many of you are coming (so we can organize enough space for us all to be together at the Canteen).

Don't forget your lawn chairs!

Join us May 20th for the first statewide Tesla group road trip to Cocoamoda for world famous Chocolate & Tesla talk with other Texans.

The Tesla clubs in Texas invite all Tesla owners to converge in Calvert, Texas to socialize, have lunch and enjoy the Best Little Chocolate Shop in Texas!

COCOAMODA is a Texas-based gourmet chocolate business. They operate out of the historic town of Calvert, Texas on Main Street (Highway 6), where they create their chocolates and have a chocolate boutique.

Their mission is to continue to produce the highest quality truffles and confections using the finest grade of chocolate and freshest ingredients sourced from across the globe.

REGISTRATION

This event is open to all Tesla owners. PLEASE REGISTER, so we know how many to look for at our starting locations and to give Cocoamoda the courtesy of knowing how many chocolate aficionados to expect.

• Please RSVP for your car

• Please purchase the number of lunches you would like.*

   

The lunch includes soup, sandwich and dessert served at Cocoamoda's events center for $25.00 and proceeds benefit the Chef Ken Fund.

* The Eventbrite registration will give you the option to add guests as we will need a head count to make sure everyone gets a meal. To add guests who aren't members select  "Non Member Tesla Owners" OR "Non Members Not a Tesla Owner" directly below registering for yourself as a member.

A little more than a year ago, Chef Ken Wilkinson sustained a traumatic brain injury. While he continues to heal and recover, their gourmet restaurant is put on hold, but his wife Jacqueline continues to produce the best chocolates in Texas!

TheTesla Owners Club of North Texas has primed the pump with a $100.00 contribution. You can select to add your own contribution when registering through Eventbrite to attend.

Important Information:

• As we have quite a few reservation holders and members waiting to receive delivery of their Tesla in our group; NTTOG wants to make sure you know you're welcome and encouraged to attend our events and meetings. Come early to events in which we are driving to hitch a ride with a member with a Tesla. Or, drive your own car, and jump into our group shots too, but we may ask you to relocate your vehicle if it isn't a Tesla when we arrange a photo op. We are ALWAYS looking for that perfect Tesla photograph!

• If you plan on coming to an event please register through the Eventbrite link so we know who to expect. Some events may require additional registration for your guests. This is so we can have an appropriate headcount for meals, tickets and other items in the planned event.

• Membership Renewals: We have migrated to a new platform as we've grown. The new service is called joinit.co so expect to see email from them advising in advance when renewals are due. Email info@nttog.com if you are having any trouble in this migration and please let us know so we can help make it a smoother process.  

• If you have recently joined as a member or ordered a club badge and haven't yet picked it up, contact us so we can coordinate getting your badge to you at an upcoming event.

(hint: It is a good idea to keep your badges in your glove box to have them handy when attending club functions or when you are representing the club.)
