| Triangle TeslA |
Brief History
Triangle Tesla was independently created in December 2015 as an unofficial owners group by a handful of Tesla owners chatting online. In July 2016, Triangle Tesla became an officially sanctioned and licensed Tesla owners group with Tesla, Inc. under the official name Tesla Owners Club of NC Triangle as an Unincorporated Association. In March 2018 we completed incorporation in the state of North Carolina as a non-profit social organization and have federal designation as a 501(c)7 non-profit. We continue to use Triangle Tesla as our unofficial working name. Triangle Tesla is and will always be run by Tesla owners. We currently have over 300 members.

What is a typical event like?
Most events are basic meetups which involve gathering at a set location to meet other owners, talk about our cars, and sometimes have a meal or drink. Moving forward, we will also be looking at other options and opportunities. Anyone is welcome to come to our public meetups and we encourage non-owners to come discover the benefits of Tesla and electric transport. Occasionally we will have an event for members and their guests that is not open to the public.
What is expected of members?
Nothing specifically. All events are optional and usually don't have a hard schedule. With respect to your vehicle, Triangle Tesla will never ask you to allow anyone else to interact with your vehicle in any way. You're free to make your own decisions regarding interaction with your vehicle. Triangle Tesla, as an organization, does not sponsor or provide test rides or test drives at our events. Any owner choosing to provide a test ride or test drive is doing so as an individual, separate from the Triangle Tesla organization.
Is this an Elon Musk fan club?
Absolutely Not! The purpose of the club is to enhance and support the ownership experience.
