FLORIDA TESLA ENTHUSIASTS Also known as TESLA OWNERS FLORIDA Purpose: Welcome to the website for the Florida Tesla Enthusiasts social club also known as TESLA OWNERS FLORIDA. The purpose of the club is to have fun, meet, exchange information, educate, and advocate for various electric vehicle and sustainability related causes. Eligibility Requirements: The club is open to permanent or part-time Florida residents who are fans of Tesla vehicles and/or the company. Whereas the vast majority of members own or have Tesla vehicles on order, owning a Tesla vehicle is not an eligibility requirement. Scope: Our club has over 700 members enrolled throughout the state of Florida. Our membership is grouped into regions, Southwest, Southeast, Central, Northeast and Panhandle. We are a member of the official Tesla Owner’s Club Program and are the only statewide Tesla sanctioned club recognized in Florida. We organize club events to coincide with official Tesla events and conduct our own independent club events throughout the state. Free Private Charging Network: We have established a private Florida Tesla Enthusiasts Charging Network. Our membership is distributed all over the state and this network includes those club members who have agreed to share their home and/or business charging source with other traveling club members who have also agreed to share their home and/or business charging source. We currently have 79 locations that are enrolled in this network. Here's a map of our club charging network coverage.

The Statewide Club in Florida Officially Recognized by Tesla Although our club is an independent corporation from Tesla, we are proud to have a good working relationship with Tesla Corporate as well as local representatives. We are the only statewide Tesla club in Florida officially recognized by Tesla and we are licensed to use certain Tesla branding. Candidly, Tesla has several high priority objectives on it's plate that make it very challenging to get Tesla executives to visit us here on the east coast. However, by virtue of our favored relationship with Tesla, we were successful in hosting a Tesla executive as a keynote speaker along with a large contingent of local Tesla representatives. Periodically, we plan to have additional special events in coordination with Tesla when feasible. Here is a link describing our last Tesla event with executive participation: Tesla executive joins Florida Tesla Enthusiasts at Universal Orlando for an informative presentation Electric Vehicle Advocacy In addition to our social activities, part of our club mission is to advocate for various electric vehicle issues. This involves educating the public and businesses regarding the economic and environmental benefits of electric vehicle ownership. It also involves working with our local and state government representatives and agencies to initiate programs and legislation that promotes electric vehicle adoption.

Our club is proud to be a voting member of Drive Electric Florida. Drive Electric Florida (DEF) is a unique stakeholder group representing automakers, utilities, charging infrastructure providers, environmentalists, local government, universities, Clean Cities coalitions and electric vehicle enthusiast groups. It seeks to advance the energy, economic and environmental security of the state of Florida by promoting the growth of electric vehicle ownership and accompanying infrastructure. DEF organized and funded the National Drive Electric Week event in Tallahassee at the state Capitol Courtyard and Rotunda. Our club provided most of the electric vehicles on display at the Capitol Courtyard. The main objective of the event was to gain face-to-face access to our state legislators to promote electric vehicle (EV) friendly legislation. We arranged several meetings with our government representatives and found a number of them receptive to the EV issues that we were endorsing. Drive Electric Florida Day at the Capitol |
