Tesla and TOCNYS Well-Represented at Damascus Shrine Cruise Night Despite Challenges

Despite less than ideal weather Friday afternoon and the fact that it was the first day of the Syracuse Nationals car show a couple counties over, 7 Tesla vehicles from TOCNYS owners attended Rochester's weekly Damascus Shrine Cruise Night. Given the less-than-average attendance, the Teslas easily commanded the focus of the faithful who did show up.

For 3 hours TOCNYS members enthusiastically answered questions, showed off features, and even gave some demo rides. A couple conclusions that are almost inevitably drawn are that 1. Teslas and EVs represent the direction of future cars and related 2. not only are Teslas popular with kids, but kids are very familiar with them.

Cruise Night organizer Jason S. explained, "On a usual, good night we'll get over 300 cars. There'll be cars filling up this whole parking lot and that field," as he pointed to an area bigger than a football field.

Because we as a club would both love to see the Damascus Shrine Cruise Night in all of its potential glory and play a part in a "usual, good" night, we're inviting TOCNYS members to participate again this coming Friday night, July 26!
