 Tesla Motors Kicks Off “Roadster Road Trip” From LA to Detroit.
Wayne Gerdes - CleanMPG - Dec. 17, 2009
Tesla Motors announced it is embarking on a 2,700-mile road trip in the all-electric Tesla Roadster – a historic journey to raise awareness about alternative-fuel cars and greet customers nationwide.
Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla customers and employees will gather at Tesla’s Los Angeles store at 10 a.m. PST this morning, leaving an hour later in an “Arctic white” 2010 Roadster Sport. They’ll be joined by Roadster owners from Southern California, Tesla’s largest regional market. Their first stop is the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana at about noon.
Tesla employees – including engineers, lawyers, recruiters and salespeople – will make dozens of stops nationwide for test drives, tech talks, customer-appreciation events and media opportunities. Tesla, which is aggressively recruiting mechanical and electrical engineers, is also swinging through college towns in Arizona, Texas and Illinois. The car will arrive in Detroit in advance of the North American International Auto Show, which starts Jan. 11.

I plan to go see the car when it stops in San Antonio. I might go see it in Austin too since I'll be there for christmas then, if I can only figure out where they will be. Their website doesn't seem to have any addresses on it
