I'm excited that they're starting. I'm a little sad they're making it invite-only, and basing invitations on proximity to the event. I would be willing to travel (at my own expense).

Hopefully we see many more events open up, soon -- and not limited to just the largest cities.

I agree. I am willing to travel too!

my gas tank is full - ready for a road trip to Normal if they will just invite me!

I'm about 100 miles from the plant, hope that's close enough to be included in the first round of the Noraml, IL group.

I wonder how they determine proximity to send you an invite. Is it based on a certain mile radius or what? My best bet would be getting invited to Normal, but I’m guessing I’m out of the “range”.

Same. Not sure why proximity matters when so many of us are ready to drive a pretty good distance to get a chance to drive one.

Sure hope that San Diego falls within the "close proximity" of Los Angeles. Its around 120 miles between city centers. My poor luck is they'll draw the line at 100 miles

Closer you are the more flexible they can be if they need to reschedule the event. I

f they have people flying in and the state issues new covid guidelines that force them to reschedule, that's a pain to cancel flights and hotels.

I live in San Francisco, so will be awfully disappointed if I don't get an invite to the event here!

The email also states “Invitations are based on where you live and your proximity to our event sites.”
I wonder how many miles away they consider proximity to event site? I’m 320 miles from the Seattle Service Center.

Makes sense for those flying, but I'll be driving the 7hrs and am happy to leave at a moments notice :D
