Membership Has Its Perks — Here’s What TOCMD Members Get

Posted on by

The E-Volution Expo may be behind us, but the connections and perks we picked up there are just getting started. If you’re a TOCMD member — or thinking about becoming one — here’s a reminder of why it pays to belong.

Vendor Discounts

Members get access to the following discounts, which are listed in our FAQs (must be logged in to view):

  • Tesla Wraps Design — a discount for club members, giving access to their AI tool that lets you design a custom avatar image for your vehicle before you commit to a wrap.
  • Tesla Ring — discount on the Tesla Ring products.
  • Tire and rim repair — discounts for members from several vendors.
  • Paint protection — member discounts on PPF and ceramic installs from several vendors.
  • Wall charger and connector installation — preferred pricing for TOCMD members getting home charging set up or upgraded.

New Connections from the Expo

A few relationships worth knowing about came out of the Expo:

  • Ranger EV — on-site Tesla repair, so you don’t always have to haul your car to a service center.
  • Blue Whale EV — Apartment and multi-family EV charger installation, and commercial-scale EV charging setups for members looking to add charging infrastructure to a business.

Not a Member Yet?

These perks, plus our events, meetups, and community of Tesla owners across Maryland, are just a few reasons to join.

2026 E-Volution Expo

Posted on by

The Tesla Owners Club of Maryland was excited and proud to participate in the first annual E-Volution Expo in Ocean City, MD during the weekend of September 19-20, 2026. The Expo was focused on health, sustainability, technology, and the future, and TOCMD Represented. Not only did everyone have a blast, but according to the Expo organizers, we got the local government’s attention for EV tourism. Hopefully the outcome of that will be better EV charging, friendlier EV legislation, and more EV adoption. We could not have done this without the sponsorship of Detail Solutions and the support of Capital Wrappers.

The light show, created by Simon Pollock, was one of the biggest draws of the Expo (maybe the biggest, although the flying car was pretty cool even if the FAA nixed any actual flight while it was there).

There are two videos of the light show (which had lots of spectators, including the Mayor of Ocean City): one from Simon, and one from Martin.

People who were able to attend this awesome event shared their photos and videos to this Google Photos share.
