Tesla Toy Drive (Toronto Area)

November 16th, 2019 by Johnna Crider

There’s a Tesla toy drive going on in Canada — mainly the Toronto area — and the community wants to help children who are less fortunate to have a special holiday season. The drive is organized by a group of Tesla owners, including popular Twitter and YouTube user Tesla MotherFrunker.

The holidays have always been about giving and helping those in need. I remember a time when I was homeless at Christmas — I lived in a shelter with my mom in Shreveport. I had just turned 10 and I remember sneaking downstairs on Christmas Eve to see if Santa would actually come to a homeless shelter. As a child, I was worried he wouldn’t have been able to find us since we no longer had a home. What I saw imprinted my memory pretty much for the rest of my life.

There were several “Santas,” and elves as well were delivering huge bags of toys. The next day, Christmas, all the children in the shelter were inundated with gifts. I know now that this was the result of kind strangers who wanted to help families that were less fortunate and couldn’t afford to have Christmas at home — especially if they didn’t have a home. My gifts included a lot of calligraphy and art pen sets along with Lisa Frank projects that got me started drawing and painting. Also: journals, puzzles, and a lot of stuffed animals along with much-needed clothing such as socks and shoes.

Tesla Toy Drive 2019

This is why toy drives mean so much to me. When communities gather to help one another, it truly is a beautiful thing. It reminds us that everyone is human and no one is lesser than another due to unfortunate circumstances that have happened to people. The Tesla Toy Drive 2019 will take place on November 30th. So far, over 250 toys and books have been donated.

The goal is to help families in need and the drive is going to be a bit different from most drives. Usually, at these events, people bring toys. In this case, Tesla owners will be doing the actual driving and picking up the toys. There are drop-off locations where they will go pick up the toys and bring them to their final stop: The Salvation Army.

If you are in the area and would like to participate, here are the drop-off locations:

Cross Ave Auto (460 S Service Rd West, Oakville)
La Casa Dolce (755 Queensway East, Mississauga)
Mississauga Electric (2550 Goldenridge Road, Mississauga)

The Tesla owners will meet at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 30, in Oakville. This will be around a three-hour trip and the group will go to the pick-up points to scoop up the toys and bring them to The Salvation Army. The photo below is of a toy donation from PetSmart.

PetSmart was all too happy to help after Tesla MotherFrunker reached out to the company about the Tesla Toy Drive.

While this story is about just one toy drive, it is hopefully also inspiration for other Tesla owners to organize similar toy drives in their areas. Up for it?

Kazakhstan To Tesla: Welcome, Elon Musk & Tesla

November 16th, 2019 by Johnna Crider

Kazakhstan now has its first Tesla Supercharger. This is evidence of yet another promise by Elon Musk that has been kept. During the Tesla Model Y event, while Elon Musk was talking, someone mentioned Kazakhstan in the audience and Elon said, “Actually, we have some great supporters in Kazakhstan.” Elon followed that up — after several loud cheers — with a promise: “We will build Superchargers in Kazakhstan! You heard it right here.”

This happens at around 24 minutes into the Model Y unveil video.

The person you heard in the audience was Anuarbek Imanbaev, and Elon kept his promise to Anurabek and the people of Kazakhstan.

When asked about Kazakhstan in June, Elon also said that Tesla would build Superchargers and service centers in Kazakhstan.

The first Superchargers in Kazakhstan are now operational in the Talan Towers located in Nursultan. The station has 6 Superchargers with a charging rate up to 120 kW, and WiFi is provided by the Ritz-Carlton Astana, along with restaurants and lodging.

According to a forum member of Tesla Motors Club, as translated from a news article that was originally in Russian: “Six Tesla Superchargers will be officially presented at Talan Towers: four in the parking lot near The Ritz-Carlton, Astana, two more in the underground parking at P1 level, which will provide convenient and easy access both in winter and in summer.”

Some people may be scratching their heads as to why Tesla is launching in Kazakhstan, but I think it all has to do with Elon listening to his customers. This is one of the many reasons both Elon Musk and Tesla are well loved. They listen, act, and make sure the needs of their customers are met.

Elon is very open to the ideas of both Tesla owners and fans, often collecting them from Twitter and turning them into new features, product improvements, etc. He is always looking for ways to enhance the experiences of his customers. I admit, riding along with a friend and watching her prank someone with Fart Mode was fun. Seeing the looks on my neighbor’s faces when Wade showed off the Summon feature was priceless. When Teslatino came through, one of my neighbors was completely stunned when he saw the frunk. There was no engine — shock.

A Tesla isn’t just a car, it’s interactive, and that’s what makes it so unique. This is just one of many ways that Tesla and Elon listen to customers. Despite what the critics claim (that Elon is a liar and a fraud), Elon has kept his promises many, many times. Kazakhstan is just one more promise that Elon Musk has kept.

If you want someone to like you, listen to them. If you want them to respect you, keep your promises to them. It’s amazing to see that an American company is being embraced by many around the world, but it is being embraced so widely for at least a few reasons.
