Tech Square ATL Social Club Member Wins Very Own Tesla Model X
With Earth Day right around the corner, it seemed only fitting to shed light on a huge technological contributor that is helping reduce our carbon footprint, curb oil use, and combat climate change – electric vehicles (EVs). So, we invited Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club members (and guests!) over to Centergy One early on April 1 for a Coffee Talk to discuss the latest EVs coming onto the scene – and for a chance to win their very own Tesla Model X.
As expected when giving away anything free, let alone a Tesla Model X, the lobby was packed that Thursday morning last week. As with all of our community activations, while attendees anxiously awaited the announcement of the EV winner, we encouraged everyone to get to know each other while sipping complimentary coffee and discussing the latest in the EV market. From our conversations, we learned a few interesting things:
Seventy-one percent of those who attended had driven an electric vehicle at some point
The following EVs have been driven by our community members:
BMW i3
Nissan Leaf
Porsche Taycan
Tesla Model 3
Tesla Model X
Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Volkswagen ID.4
These are the top five brands people are most excited about in terms of the future of EVs:
Audi
Canoo
General Motors
Lucid Motors
Rivian
And while everyone was extremely interested in discussing the future of EVs, we know the big draw was the opportunity to win a Tesla Model X. After much anticipation – and lots of coffee – the lucky individual was randomly selected and announced. Square on Fifth’s very own resident, Aditya “Adi” Singh, was the lucky individual that fateful, April Fool’s Day.
Even after realizing they had been subject to an epic prank, everyone was good-natured about it and continued to stick around for a bit, connecting with community members over shared interests – and varying viewpoints. For instance, some TSQATL members currently own electric vehicles, while others cited they’d miss the sound and excitement of a traditional car’s engine. All in all, attendees experienced some good coffee, good conversation, and a good laugh.
Do you own an electric vehicle? If not, which one would you want and why? Let us know in the comments below
