Who we are and what we're about?

We are a volunteer led 501(c)(7) tax-exempt, non-profit organization and an "Official Partner of the Tesla Owners Club Program" that's officially recognized by Tesla covering the states of Washington and Idaho.  We were formerly known as Tesla Owners Club Pacific Northwest and Tesla Owners Puget Sound. 

We were formed by a group of Tesla Owners.  While almost all of our members own one or more Tesla vehicles, (or have reservation for one,) many either have or are interested in Tesla energy products as well.  We are all either directly or indirectly supporting the move to a sustainable future.  We LOVE talking about our cars, the company, its products, EVs, the move to sustainable energy, and of course, Elon.

We are part of the Tesla Owners worldwide community, which is officially recognized by Tesla.  Worldwide leadership meets with Tesla in-person annually and virtually at least quarterly.  We do this to share knowledge and lessons learned, to help new clubs with information about how to get set up, to share best-practices, and to share stories.  We are sanctioned by Tesla as an official owners club and authorized to use our official logo.  We are independent from Tesla, but we work with them and have regular communication with their representatives.
