I'm proud to be the 1st Tesla owner in Houston (at least according to this board and Tesla Owners Map). Where better to showcase the merits of electric cars than the Energy Capital of the World!!
If I'm wrong, I'd love to meet any other owners who are incognito.

If you see a jet black roadster sport... that's me.
Well, the Jet Black roadster (#1078) has been here in Houston for a couple months now. I bumped into a Ford GT owner and he told me about Houston Coffee & Cars (http://coffeeandcarshouston.com/). I'm not a real "gear head," so I wasn't sure I'd like it... but I do have some interest in cars. What is kinda cool is that the Tesla commands quite a bit of respect at these meetings. Also what excited me about these meetings is the quantity of cars. I went the past 2 months, and I don't think I've seen all the cars that come out. Over 500 cars come out each time. Many of the local car enthusiast clubs come out... the Ferrari club usually has a row blocked out. Last time (just by coincidence) I parked next to the Honda Insight club. There are other electrics at this meet, but usually modified cars, not production.
Get back to me if you are interested in coming out. It is a fun way to spend a couple hours on Sat morning. I'll save a spot for you if you contact me. PM me at http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/ I am 'kgb' there too.
...waiting on my Model S here in Houston. Anyone else?
Also, I live off I-10 just West of the Beltway--I'm considering making my charger available to other Tesla owners if I can figure out a good way to do it. Not so useful for Houston Tesla owners, perhaps, but maybe for San Antonio or Austin ones. (I assume they will be making an adapter for Roadster owners.)
BTW, I recall seeing a "ranger" in River Oaks, near Shepherd. MIght that Roadster owner be one of you?
Signature #548
I went ahead and reserved a license plate at myplates.com. It's on a 5-month layaway, so I can pay it off to coincide with the delivery of my car. What did I choose? TXSLA !!

Also, I've seen the Ford GT (#137 in this set) in person a few times and it is a stunning machine.
