MI Tesla Owners Silver Lake Cybertruck Dune Day 10/6/24

[Mattkalin]

Welcome to Cyber Dune Day, presented by the Tesla Owners Club of Michigan!

You asked for it, and here it is! In collaboration with The Cybertruck Guy (@cybrtrkguy on X), we invite you to join us for an exhilarating adventure at the world-renowned Silver Lake Sand Dunes, overlooking Lake Michigan. Discover the impressive off-road capabilities of the Cybertruck as we guide you through an unforgettable day of driving on the dunes. Connect with fellow Cybertruck enthusiasts from across the Midwest as we explore the white sand dunes together!

Event Details:

• Date and Time: Sunday, October 6, 2024 | 11:00 AM
• Location: Silver Lake State Park ORV Area, 8960 W. Fox Road, Mears, MI 49436
• Event is free for Tesla Owners Club Members

Event Highlights:

• Pre-Dune Workshop: We’ll start with a workshop covering essential topics such as tire deflation/inflation for sand and road, adjusting ride height, ORV safety, and more.
• Dune Driving: Follow Troy Meekhof, 'The Cybertruck Guy,' as we navigate the dunes together, showcasing the Cybertruck's off-road capabilities.
• Group Photo and Potluck Tailgate: After a loop around the park, we’ll stop on the shoreline for a group photo followed by a late lunch/early dinner, potluck style. We’ll be grilling burgers and brats! Afterward, you’re free to explore the park on your own or continue with the group.

Charging Information: The nearby charging infrastructure is severely limited. We recommend camping at Silver Lake State Park (note: no 14-50R outlets are available at campsites, only TT-30) or staying at a nearby hotel. Public Level 2 chargers are available in the nearby town of Hart, though not at the hotels. For supercharging, consider the Ludington Superchargers (31 minutes, 28 miles north) or the Muskegon Superchargers (44 minutes, 44 miles south). Please arrive at the park with as high a %SOC as possible to avoid any flatbed rescues!

Sweet, I will try to make it there!
two more warnings -

1) Be sure to remove your wheel/tire fairings, you will lose them in the sand.
2) Also be sure any secure anything in your bed, unsecured items (coolers) may bounce around in the bed and wreck the tonneau cover.
Ask me how I know..
