Hah??? There are lots of supercharging stations. The battery swap thing is dead.

We have seen a number of Teslas here in TV. I don't have an exact number and it isn't likely to be large. Great car - if that is what you have. You might want to put a club request line in the Recreation News. That was how a number of people got together to start a Porsche club.

I have seen several Model S's in The Villages. Great car, btw. Do not believe they have a club yet. Why not start one, or better still, start a plug in EV club instead. ( Then I could join as I have a 2017 Chevy Volt. No Volt club here either.)

Whatever floats your boat but I don't see the need to question other people's choices to buy a Tesla, which has more than enough range to get out of Dodge.

How about Katrina? We were without power for 2 weeks and that was less than others. Being prepared, we had a generator. The crazy thing was that if I had not had a generator, FEMA would have paid for one. Since I thought ahead, I did not get that benefit.

After Andrew, we were without power for 3 weeks.

There are occasional instances of prolonged outages. The odds, however, are extremely remote. As I already stated, I am leaving town till power resumes.

Hope you find a club or get enough interest to start one. I would dearly love to own one but tis not in my budget. Enjoy your baby. I'll happily drool if I see you go by.

Tell that to the people who endure Sandi & Katrina-- for not a lot of $$'s you can be secure

[biker1]

Yeah right. Many of the homes had such severe damage that they were not habitable.

You can install Photovolatic cells to charge the car. Saw a demo of this at 2010CES. Thinking of this for my Golf Car. Once Musk gets his flat batteries on the market.

The OP started this thread to determine if there are Tesla owners in TV and gauge the interest in a club. The thread has veered significantly from that topic. Please return to the original topic. Further off topic posts will be deleted.

OP, try contacting the Daily Sun, they might be able to insert an ad in the Thursday weekly insert with all of the clubs.
