Are there any Tesla owners in The Villages? Is there a Tesla owners club?

[Chatbrat]

? for a Tesla owner if a storm comes & you're ordered to evacuate--you don't have enough range to get out of Dodge-,unless you have another vehicle-hope you have another vehicle & in the event of a prolonged power outage--what are going to do- stuff happens

In the event of a prolonged power outage you aren't getting any gas either. It takes electricity to pump gas.

I have my own supply of diesel--its called pre planning

[Chatbrat]

Having experienced the gas lines of past--I have an older Mercedes diesel car that gives me 40 mpg & I have a 550 gal tank on a buds property, just in case-plus we have lots of food + water + protection

No. But if you find enough owners you can start a club.

The last thing in the world I worry about is fuel for my car in the event of an episode that creates extended power outages, such as a hurricane. I can easily make it to Atlanta, and numerous other places where we have friends, on a single tank of gas. I am leaving Dodge and will return when power is restored. Hoarding fuel for transportation would have no value to me. If I was truly concerned, which I am not, I would get a whole house generator.

Which I already have

Put a generator in the trunk

I have never bought into the whole prepping paranoia. I have lived in coastal regions most of my life and have never seen a power outage of more than 12 hours. I have plenty of places to go if something bad happens and more than enough insurance and money to deal with the aftermath. 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.

Back in Maine, we were without power for over a week from an ice storm. No electricity = no water from well. Had to drive to Massachusetts to get gas for the generator until a guy at a local (20 miles away) filling station fired up a generator...you should have seen the line of cars. It reminded me of the gas lines in the 70's.

Op was just asking if there was a tesla club, I did not find one. OP TOTV is just a fraction of who lives here. Hopefully some will read this and PM you with others that can answer your question of any Tesla owners in the area.

OP......welcome to ToTV......ask a simple question, get off topic replies.

Hope u find a group.

Have seen a few in TV.

I'm sorry that all replies were off topic.

I lived in TV for over 3 years and have seen no Tesla's.

I saw one just outside of TV but I don't think there are many people in TV who own a Tesla.

Good luck in trying to find other owners.

BTW - Congrats on owning a great car!

I've seen a couple, look great--lots of room with the hatch back--the only short coming is range & lack of quick charge stations--where you can change out the battery in one minute
