Event Report
We were invited to participate by Green Bellevue. They held the event at Bellevue University with whom they have an excellent working relationship. We showcased 10 EVs on the left side of the main entranceway to xx building. We staffed an information table along with dozens of other organizations in the basement of this building. This was a casual showcase with no formal speakers or panels.We showcased a Tesla Cyber truck for the first time. It drew a lot of attention.
This was a small event which we joined to expose our vehicles to the people of Sarpy County. We have our normal event scheduled in Omaha this coming Saturday.

They pose with Green Bellevue organizer Don Preister, also an EV driver of Nissan Leaf. Ron demonstrated the Cybertruck's AI capability. He lets the truck do virtually all the driving. I asked him to show me by having it plot the route from Bellevue University to the ball park in downtown Omaha. He got into the truck, told Grok to take him to the park, but first stop at Panera's and coffee, but NOT Starbucks. It thought for a moment and then displaced the route and stops on the map screen. Freaking amazing. |
