Happy 1st Birthday, TOCNYS!

One year ago TODAY Tesla Owners Club New York State officially began with our Launch Party. By the end of the night we had our first 26 members signed up and were ready to start spreading the movement to the rest of the state.

365 days later, we have 558 members spread across NY State. Since last October, our members have...

• Been interviewed on the radio twice
• Partnered w/ 3 separate Tesla teams to put on 5 test drive events in 2 NYS regions
• Held discussions w/ Tesla's Legal Team (including Albert Gore Jr. - son of former US Vice President)
• Held 16 Meetup events in 5 NYS regions
• Held 4 cruise events in 3 NYS regions
• Put on 1 New Owners Workshop
• Participated in car shows, a fashion show, a Supercharger grand opening
• Two new upstate Tesla Service Centers open for their use*

*No, we aren't claiming to have made this happen, but the correlation is worth noting :)

While it's important to occasionally reflect on one's achievements, it's also important to not rest on one's laurels. After all, only 5% of NYS Tesla owners are TOCNYS members and the vast majority of vehicles on our roads are still pumping out poisonous gas - much remains still to be achieved!

Year #1 was about growth and that won't be changing going forward, but what else can be expected for our second year? We'll be emphasizing the club becoming supported in a more sustainable manner, both in terms of:

• Leveraging the skills/effort of our members (btw, click here to get involved)
• Financial resources (more about this coming very soon)

So thank you all for being a part of TOCNYS from its humble starting point and I'm looking forward to sharing this exciting ride with you toward its glorious destination :)
