Rick Denzien has been a Tesla Owner since 2017 upon acquiring his first pre-ordered Tesla Model 3 after a 2-year wait. He's also one of the founding members of the Delaware Valley Owner’s Club. He’s been an electric car enthusiast since 2013, previously leasing a Nissan Leaf, and is now in his seventh year as an event captain (Philadelphia area) for National Drive Electric Week, a national educational organization in its 10th year that promotes electric vehicles in Ride and Drive events countrywide.

Rick, a professional musician, recording artist, and a production and sound engineer, lives in Ambler, PA, with his wife, Debra Lee (also a musician, Tesla owner and Club member), where they work from their home-based private music school and commercial recording studio, which is powered by DIY solar and imported wind energy. In addition, they tour as performing musicians in their Tesla. They are dubbed “Zero Emission Musicians,” performing at festivals, spiritual communities, acoustic venues, house concerts, music showcases, and special events, integrating music with a message for sustainable living. Rick encourages audiences to “take their power back” from the fossil fuel industry by driving EVs, converting energy sources for home and business to wind and solar, eating vegan, and being informed stewards for a sustainable future.

Rick, along with Debra, are the first musicians to do a fully EV cross-country tour (and back) in their Model 3 from their home near Philadelphia PA, to California, setting the world record at over 8,000 miles in 2018-2019. They sealed the record by pushing to 20,000 plus miles in 2019-20, doing runouts to Nashville, TN, Asheville, NC, Buffalo, NY and Key West, FL, returning mid-January 2020 before COVID hit. They shared the driving, taking turns sleeping on a memory foam mattress spread out in the back of their Model 3, packed in alongside all their music gear. They are currently on the waiting list for a Cybertruck and look forward to doing more extensive long-range touring.

Rick’s love and enthusiasm for everything Tesla is rooted in his commitment to walking the talk for environmental sustainability, and by “being the change” to mitigate climate change through personal action. An environmental activist, Rick was trained in 2020 as a Climate Reality Mentor by Al Gore and has made it his mission to encourage and inspire all he meets to make choices for clean energy and an environmentally sustainable Planet. He specifically educates people, including the environmentalists, about Teslas, often clearing up any objections or mis-conceptions people may have about cost, range, charging, Supercharger infrastructure, or environmental impact. He continues inspiring numerous people to convert to driving EVs and Teslas, which to date has earned him 20,000+ free Supercharger miles from referrals.

An active member of Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club, Rick recently master-minded and helped organize the Club’s “Mind Blown Seaspiracy Treasure Hunt” Road Trip to Gwynns Island, VA, in July 2021, where the trip culminated in educating and introducing club members to a vegan-plant based seafood alternative in an elegant meal at a 5-star restaurant.

Rick will be captain for the upcoming National Drive Electric Week event on Saturday, September 25, 2021, in Ambler, PA, where Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club members will participate and have a presence. Please register to attend.

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) issued an \"intent to deny\" Tesla’s application for a sales license to open a full-service Tesla store in Delaware, even though the law is clearly not intended to protect car dealers from all competition. The motor vehicle franchise law was written to protect Ford from selling directly and competing against local Ford dealers. Tesla has never sold through franchised dealers, and their strong interpretation is that they are eligible to sell directly under Delaware law for that reason.

As a result of this decision, Delaware is now missing out on business investment, job growth, and revenue that would be created by allowing EV companies to open sales locations in DE. Most importantly, Delawareans should be able to purchase their vehicles in state and not be forced to go to Maryland, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey.

Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club agrees that Delaware needs more jobs, more competition, more innovation, and more electric vehicles, not less. Therefore please consider contacting Governor Carney to make your voice heard and share your thoughts about DelDOT keeping Tesla out of Delaware.

We asked one of our members and Delaware resident, CJ Myers, to share with us his letter to Governor Carney.

Governor Carney,

In December of 2019 I met with you at Delaware Technical Community College for your announcement of the extension of the Delaware Clean Vehicle Rebate Program. After the press took their photos, I made you aware that none of the electric vehicles you were standing next to were purchased in our state. Most auto manufacturers and dealerships in the state of Delaware did not sell or service electric vehicles and residents had to travel to Maryland or New Jersey to purchase them. Which, speaking from personal experience, was at a minimum inconvenient and worse, would discourage adoption of EVs.

Since then, a lot has changed. The options, availability, and demand for EVs has increased. Many auto manufacturers and dealerships in Delaware now sell EVs. However, the largest electric vehicle manufacturer by far, Tesla, is still not allowed to sell directly to consumers despite high demand. DelDOT issued an \"intent to deny\" Tesla’s application for a sales license to open a full-service Tesla store in Delaware. This impacts not one, but two key aspects of our state’s priorities: being pro-environment and pro-business.

Our state wants to lower our carbon emissions and transportation is the largest contributor. How can the state ask its residents to make the conscious effort of switching to EVs, which lowers their carbon footprints, without also giving them the ability to buy the most popular EV in our own state? In addition, our state and you personally are known to be pro-business. The highest priority on your agenda is business and job creation. Tesla opening full-service stores in our state would create more jobs.

Please speak with the DelDOT to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

CJ Myers

In September 2019, the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers (NJCAR) filed a complaint against both Tesla and the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, alleging that Tesla was unlawfully operating more than the 4 manufacturer-owned sales locations authorized. It further alleged that the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) failed to enforce dealership franchising laws.

In New Jersey, all new vehicles must be sold through non-manufacturer owned dealerships (franchises). The state created an exception in 2015 for manufacturers of exclusively zero emission vehicles to have no more than four places of business in the State of NJ. NJCAR’s complaint centered around Tesla’s various “showrooms” located in retail malls, which offer consumers the ability to explore Tesla vehicles, but do not provide direct sales or servicing.

The court ruled on April 20, 2021 that NJCAR has no standing to pursue these claims. It further denied NJCAR’s request for relief, stating that NJCAR, as a “statewide trade association” does not represent the public or the public’s interest. The Superior Court further ruled that NJCAR did not provide any evidence whatsoever that NJMVC was not enforcing franchise laws; rather, that their prior actions against Tesla prove that they are enforced rigorously.

NJCAR’s entire complaint was dismissed on April 20, 2021. Here is link to the decision.

Priyan Sarathy is the Membership Chair for the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club and also the Chapter Lead for the Del Val-NJ chapter covering Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington Counties in New Jersey. Priyan has been an avid Tesla follower since the early Roadster days, but never thought he'd be able to afford one until Tesla announced the Model 3 (or E at that time) with a starting price of $35,000. With the federal tax credit and no sales tax in NJ he convinced himself it was just like buying a brand new Honda Accord even though he had never purchased a brand new car before.

On March 31st, 2016, Priyan took half a day off and stood in line to place his order for the Model 3 sight unseen. Stoked with his decision to pre-order after the reveal, he spent the next two years impatiently waiting for it. When his time to configure came, and it was evident that the only option to get one right away was to be spending $55k for the long range model, he had to convince himself he was willing to splurge another $20k for the vehicle. With a commute of less than 5 miles to work it was really hard for him to justify that decision. Luckily one day while going through his daily morning routine of reading Tesla news online he came across a story about a couple that rented out their Model S and X on a car-sharing app called Turo and how they were making enough to cover the payments and even profit a bit. Turo was also giving incentives to list a Model 3. That got him thinking. He knew being in California the company would have more reach and customer base than NJ, but all he needed was to offset the cost of ownership to cover the $20k increase in price. To test the waters of the service he listed his Acura MDX and stick-shift Mazda on the app and they were both booked for rentals right away for the following weekend and Priyan found himself without a car. That gave him the confidence he needed to purchase his dream car, the Model 3, and list it on Turo.

Later in 2018 he purchased an 8.5 kW solar panel system from Tesla so he could live off free energy from the sun which made him regret even the occasional need to fill up gas. So that led to him trading in the Acura MDX for a Model X which was an even bigger hit on Turo. Eventually he traded the Mazda for a Model S, but still found himself in a situation of not having either of the vehicles available for him to use over a weekend. Now with three electric vehicles his 8.5 kW system wasn't meeting his home's demand for electric power anymore. He sold a set of referral Model X wheels and used the proceeds to purchase a referral Tesla powerwall from someone who didn't need it. While installing the Powerwall he also added another 5 kW solar system to cover the family's increased energy usage which his wife, Shreya documented on her YouTube channel.

When the Model Y came out it was a no-brainer for them to get one to use as a personal family car to use during COVID pandemic shutdowns. The rest of the Teslas continued to be rented out and the rental fees covered the monthly dues for all four cars. Apart from the new Model Y, all the Teslas have over 80k miles and continue to run great despite having over an average of 100 trips on Turo. He's made over 25 Tesla referrals including neighbors, co-workers, family and friends and typically convinces people that they can offset the cost of ownership by renting it out. It sounds appealing to most people, but once they purchase the vehicle it's hard for them to follow through with renting it out, since it is to many a prized possession. His latest addition to his Electric Fleet is a Zero SR motorcycle, that he also plans to rent out on motorcycle ride sharing apps to help continue to spread the delight of electric transportation. Feel free to reach out to Priyan at Priyan@DVTO.club and say hello when you see him at any of the upcoming club events.

Welcome to the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club, I’m Syd and I helped Vivianna Van Deerlin create the club. I started following Tesla when I spotted a Roadster on the back roads of Bucks County. Well, I didn’t follow the car, but I did research the company that produced it. I’ve been involved in environmental causes, and more recently sustainable transportation, since the original Earth Day. I was an exceedingly early adopter of hybrid’s (Gen 1, 2, and 3 Toyota Prius’s) and when I retired, my retirement present to myself was a new 2015 Tesla Model S, my first fully electric car (TESSIE). I’m still driving it. And the last Prius we had has been handed down and my wife now drives a Model Y (NIKKIE-T). Our house has had rooftop solar since 2016, so we partially drive on sunshine.

Before there was DVTOC I was involved in the Tesla MidAtlantic Owners Club. Alas, that got too big to handle and was split into separate clubs. DVTOC was founded shortly thereafter in the summer of 2019. I knew we had to continue a club in the greater Philadelphia area, and we did, later expanding to include all of NJ and Delaware as well as the five county Greater Philadelphia area in PA.

I’ve taken many a road trip with TESSIE and she has even been on display on the exhibit floor of the MidAmericon, the 74th World Science Fiction Convention in Kansas City, MO in August 2016. In fact, when I first picked up the car late on a Thursday afternoon I then left early Friday morning for Boston for a meeting. And this was when there were only 2 superchargers between Devon, PA and Boston, MA. When I’m not involved with Tesla you’ll find me and my wife helping to run the regional and world science fiction conventions.

$\"\"$

For DVTOC I am second in command, ok, vice president, and also the record keeper or Corporate Secretary. I also help teach the classes the club holds and have handled new owner orientations for deliveries in busy times at Devon prior to the pandemic.

Hi! My name is CJ Myers. I am a Tesla Model 3 owner with a 5.5 kW Tesla solar panel system. I live in Camden-Wyoming, DE and have been a Delaware resident for the last 5 years. I am originally from Lansdale and Newtown, PA. I graduated from Penn State in 2012 as an Energy Engineer and am now the manager of metering for Delaware Electric Cooperative, a non-profit utility for the bottom half of Delaware.

What I feel makes my “Tesla Story” unique was that before moving to Delaware, I was an Electrical Engineer in Oklahoma working for wind farms, pipelines, and oil refineries. I even spent 8 months working on the infamous Keystone XL pipeline. When I moved to Delaware and I needed to purchase a new car since my Silverado stayed in Oklahoma. I was intrigued by EVs mainly because of the engineering and technology of the electric drivetrain. I started with a Chevy Volt and the more I drove it, the more I wanted to stay on electric power. At one point I drove over 10,000 miles on electric without the gas engine turning on.

When I got a job promotion at work, I broke the news to my wife by telling her we were test driving a Tesla tomorrow. We subsequently traded-in the Volt and have been loving the Model 3 since.

Along with the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club, I am also the Vice-President of the Delaware Electric Vehicle Association, DEEVA. The club focuses on outreach and education to advance all types of electric vehicle ownership in Delaware. I am excited to be the Chapter Leader in Delaware and will hopefully increase participation and bring more events to Delaware.

If you live in the state of Delaware, please reach out to CJ by email to Delaware@DVTO.club to find out more about the club and ways to get involved.

Hi, I’m Christel the Social Committee Chair for DVTOC!

My journey to loving Teslas and their mission started in 2012 when a friend of mine drove me past the Tesla research building near Silicon Valley. In the parking lot I saw the original roadster in every color...I thought to myself, “that sure looks WAY BETTER than a Prius!”

I have always had the green mindset, recycling, vegetarian, etc...but, I couldn’t bring myself to purchase a Prius or a hybrid of some sort. I wanted to be green energy conscious, but I wanted to have a fast, gorgeous car too! Tesla is the best of both worlds and who doesn’t love the Tesla Roadster?!

Just one problem, I didn’t have the money to buy one at the time. However, then came the Model 3 and I couldn’t hit the reserve button quickly enough. It was a long 2-year wait for my red, long range, dual motor beauty, but so worth it. Love at first sight? YEP!

After a week or so of driving my car, I received an email about a Tesla New Owner Bootcamp offered at Cherry Hill and thought I would check it out. What an awesome class and it was so helpful learning all the features of my new obsession with like-minded people. After my first bootcamp I couldn’t wait to help more people fall in love with these amazing cars, so I started volunteering and made great friends with what is now the board of DVTOC. What an awesome group and can’t wait to meet more DVTOC members at our next event!

Oh and yes, if you see me on the road, I will be waving!

Hi there!

I’m Konstantin, and I’m a bit of a Tesla fanatic. I don’t remember exactly when I first heard of Tesla and its electric cars (much less Tesla’s other ventures), but I do remember exactly when I fell in love with them! It was a Saturday morning on May 28th, 2016. A buddy of mine and I were bored and decided to go test drive a Tesla at King of Prussia Mall. Knowing full well that Tesla EVs are pretty pricey, I had zero plans to actually buy one – I just wanted to check it out, see what all the chatter was about, and have some fun driving for 10 minutes.

And fun I had! Of course, the salesperson put me into a Model S P90D and off we went. That instant torque and its quiet operation just blew me away. I couldn’t stop talking about it with my friend the whole ride home. I came home and immediately started configuring the Model S in the design studio on the Tesla website. Alas, once I priced out that Model S P90D that I test drove, I hung my head in disappointment and closed the website. No way was I going to buy a car with a six-figure price tag.

Over a month went by and I couldn’t stop thinking about that awesome Model S I test drove. I kept obsessing over it – I have that type of personality where if I really want something, I won’t stop thinking about it until I get it. Eventually I decided, “Ok, let’s come back down to Earth and price out a base Model S.” The sale price was basically cut in half from what that P90D cost at the time. It still wasn’t cheap, but it was reasonable for me. So in July of 2016 I pulled the trigger and ordered a blue Model S 60 with panoramic glass roof. I took delivery in early September of 2016 and have been a loyal fan/fanatic ever since. Three months later we pre-ordered a Model 3 for my wife. :)

I joined the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club in December of 2019 by invitation from Ryan, whom I met earlier at a (not Tesla-specific) EV meetup event. From car shows to sunset cruises, this club offers a lot of fun activities to its members. In addition to having fun, the club makes important contributions to its community. The First Responder Crash Course organized by volunteers of the club have proven to be invaluable – providing local first responders with presentations, documentation, and first-hand introductions to Tesla vehicles of all models.

In all my years of driving a Tesla, I’ve enjoyed quite a few road trips. The longest trip I’ve taken so far with a Tesla is from Bucks County, PA to central Maine (30 miles from the Canadian border). I made three or four stops at superchargers to feed myself and the car, and slept in my Model S on an inflatable full-size mattress for three nights while camping. Nights in Maine can get very chilly in September and I loved the ability to sleep with the heat on in the car. It was glorious! Range anxiety? Nah, that was gone after one week of ownership.

I always enjoy a good conversation on all things Tesla and, as the leader of the Delaware Valley – PA chapter of the club, look forward to meeting (and converting) more Tesla fans. Got any questions? Curious about the different Tesla models? Feel free to drop me a line in the comment section.

Cheers,

Konstantin

Our February social event, “For the Love of Beer,” featured Alex Crowe for a virtual beer tasting event featuring four readily available beers to the Delaware Valley. Alex is a beer judge, lecturer, event host, and a Certified Cicerone™ (the beer version of a sommelier). Fifteen DVTOC members gathered via Zoom to sample the beers which ranged from a light colored white ale to a dark stout, and to learn a little bit of beer history and ingredient education. Throughout the evening Alex gave members fun tidbits such as lager yeast does not import any flavors into the beer, whereas ales are made with flavorful yeast. He also said Monks fermented their beers in caves and that lager yeast adapted to the cold weather this way. Members gave a donation of $10 or more for participation and DVTOC donated the funds to the non-profit Foundation for Renewable Energy and Environment. A total of $400 was raised for the organization’s efforts to help accelerate the world's transition to renewable energy.

After introductions, members learned that when tasting beers it’s best to go from less intense flavors, or beers without hops, to more intense beers. Following that sequence, the first beer in the flight, Hoegaarden Wit, is a light-colored Belgian wheat beer. Alex highlighted the color of the beer while holding it up to the light in his kitchen. He then asked members to smell the beer, and then focus on the coriander and orange flavors for the first sip.

The next beer, Two Roads Two Juicy Double IPA is from Two Roads Brewery in Stratford, CT. This hazy beer has a flavor profile that comes from its juicy and citrus tropical flavors from multiple hops. Members noted this one was not as bitter and had a muted flavor.

The third beer featured a local favorite from Victory Brewing in Downingtown, PA, the golden-colored Victory Prima Pils. Alex said this beer has a clean hop flavor that’s not overly bitter, and drinkers can experience a cracker/bread taste too. For a possible food pairing, this beer works well with sour foods.

The fourth beer actually is brewed in Dublin, Ireland even though a local Guinness Brewery is in Maryland (perhaps a future DVTOC road trip?). Unlike the other beers in the flight, the Guinness Stout is a malt-forward stout that gets its dark color from roasted barley. Alex described the notes of bitter coffee/chocolate flavor as members sipped in unison. Fun fact time! Guinness uses nitrogen gas when pouring which creates a fine bubble. To mimic a pub pour, Guinness created a widget inside the can to hold a bit of nitrogen that gets released when opened.

Next, Alex gave a bit of stout history and storytelling while tasting the Guinness Stout.

For a long time brewers aimed to make clear beer. Eventually as the European public started its drinking fascination with coffee, brewers shifted their focus to emulate the dark color and flavor of coffee and that’s when stouts were born. However, it’s preferable to get your caffeine from coffee before work and before driving, rather than beer.

As a final fun tidbit, Alex said to really enjoy a good beer, don’t store the glasses in the freezer. You want the foam to help carry the aroma and colder beer doesn’t foam as much. Instead, chill the glasses in the fridge to get them cool, not iced. If you visit the two local breweries, remember never drink and drive even if your car can drive itself.

Alex Crowe was the former brewmaster for the Sackets Harbor Brewing Co in N.Y. and he holds a degree in Brewing Technology Siebel Institute of Brewing Studies. He teaches beer related coursework at the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College as well as hosting the popular Beer vs Wine Challenge Dinners at the college. In between beer gigs he develops cell based models of neurodegenerative diseases at the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery group at the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research at the University of Pennsylvania where club president, Vivianna Van Deerlin, also runs a research laboratory.
