I'm the first one on the right in front with the black hat.

It was fun meeting everyone this afternoon.

Tony, thanks for organizing.

Third back on the left. Good times tonight. Thank to all.

First one on the left. It was great meeting you all in person and sharing tips and tricks.

In Blue vest on left. It was my 2nd day as a RAV4 EV owner. Great meeting with the pioneer group of RAV4 owners in SoCal.

btw, I'm swapping out my stock Yokohama tires for Continental ProContacts EcoPlus tires this weekend. Let me know if you're interested in the Yokohamas G91s (used ~500 miles, highway, since Dec 7) before I put them up on craigslist next week ($50 ea. for this group).

Location with chargers, easy parking, and roughly equidistant from Ventura (101 miles), San Diego (85 miles), Palmdale (99 miles) and Palm Springs (88 miles).

Anybody planning on attending?

I'm thinking we would like BJ's or Lazy Dog Cafe might be better? It's just a short walk from the charging stations.

Yes I plan on attending.

Hoping to be there, but may not be able to make it.

I'll be there; thanks for organizing. If anyone has issues charging with the GE Wattstations, I can run you over to my L2 charger (I live 3 miles away). Hopefully, I'll have my new sound system upgrades installed by then to demo for the group.

Awesome. There is a nearby Nissan dealer, too. I'd love to see the look on their face when a Rav4 plugs in.

I don't see much interest in today's meet, and I have visitors at my house today, so I'm going to stay in San Diego.

Whoever might show up, I hope you have fun!!!

seems like it was a bad weekend for meetups. Not sure why. I organized a nice meeting at a museum, and we got about half of our normal crowd when all we do is meet for lunch; and many of those were from the Tesla and DIY forums.

The BMW guys are going to have an ActiveE meet on April 7 near San Luis Obispo / Morro Bay. That might be a good party to crash with the much longer range Rav4's.

I'll be in Italy then.

Mostly Nissan LEAF s, but I'll be there with my Rav4 if the motor has been replaced by then:

We had a total of 25-30 people today, with about 20 cars. There were at least 7 Nissan LEAF, 6 Tesla Model S, 6 Toyota Rav4 EV, and 2 BMW ActiveE. I think there were a few Toyota Prii, also.

Here we are gathering at the Hamburger Factory in Poway. It's hard to tell in the picture, but I have a "show and tell" of a multitude of EVSE's; Tesla Model S UMC 40 amp, Toyota / Panasonic 12 amp modified to 240 volt, Nissan / Panasonic for 2013 LEAF modified to 20 amps / 240 volt, Open EVSE 75amp project, and not pictured is my Clipper Creek CS-40 modified to CS-50 40 amp continuous with ITT 75 amp J1772 cable.

Gary "Gid" drove down from Orange County when he didn't feel well to show off the CANary project.

Gary D. let me drive his "dolphin grey" Tesla Model S-85P. Yes, it is quicker than my Rav4 EV !!!
