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.

The Tesla Owners Club of Maryland proudly Represented for the 250th Birthday of the USA Light Show, created by Simon Pollock. This year we were hosted by Prospect Point Brewing, the owner of which (Mike) was very excited to have us there. We put on a show for all his customers who were there after dark, too. Special thanks to Mark Czajka for his assistance with setup logistics, and to the following individuals who donated $50 to help recoup our operating costs:

Ashraf, Farzana
Campbell, Michael
Magness, Bob
Perry, Brian
Pokriefka, Scott
Werner, Katie
Zegel, Doug

Simon’s official YouTube video is available here. We got many clips in there. Martin’s drone video of just Maryland is available here.

Photos and videos from the attendees are available here.

A few of us took advantage of good weather, good company, and good wine to chill out at Windridge Vineyards to watch the sunset (although the clouds kind of got in the way for that last bit).

Going to wineries is something this club has done several times in the past and will do more times in the future. For photos from this time, click here.

TOCMD and TOCMI have a great relationship, supporting each other’s events. This was no different, with several TOCMD folk driving to Michigan for TOCMI’s Summer Meetup. Attendees came far and wide for this major Tesla club event, starting with one of Simon Pollock’s Light Shows Friday night (impressive eagle form, took a looooong time to set that one up! only got rained on at the very end too) and then a day of speakers and events that Saturday.

TOCMD is going to host one of these events in the future too. Interested in volunteering? Let us know by using the Contact Us form!

Pics and photos of the Summer Meetup are available here.

Several TOCMDers showed up at the New Market Cars & Coffee season opener benefiting Driven To Cure, mixing good company with a good cause. Photo and video proof of this event is available here.

The car shows, they keep a’coming!

This one was at Mikey and Mel’s, which is almost as frequent as Poolesville’s Cars & Coffee events. Photos from this day are available here.

The staff at Tesla Owings Mills reached out to TOCMD to strengthen our relationship with them. This resulted in them hosting TOCMD for a social event on March 7th, 2026. Special thanks to Ouzy Sarr at Tesla Owings Mills for hosting us.

Pictures and videos are available here.

It’s become a bit of a tradition to get at least one PJ Day at Bruster’s Ice Cream in. This particular instance was on March 7th. Put your PJ’s on, grab some ice cream and peruse the photos!

Several intrepid TOCMDers braved the cold to celebrate the ribbon-cutting ceremony formally opening some IONNA chargers in the area. We can always use more chargers and IONNA seems to be doing it right.

This year, we switched things up. Instead of having a Holiday Party at the end of the year, we had a New Year’s Celebration party at, well, the beginning of the year!

On behalf of all of the Officers of the Tesla Owners Club of Maryland, thank you for joining us for the TOCMD New Year’s Celebration 2026 party. We truly appreciated seeing so many members and guests come together.

It was incredible to host more than 100 Tesla owners and their guests. We loved seeing faces from across the DMV, along with VIPs visiting from Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Colorado. You made the evening special, and we’re grateful for the energy and community you brought.

Special thanks to our event sponsor, Will Brumby and the Total Recon team, for supporting the event and contributing raffle items, music, and food. We also sincerely appreciate the Tesla Rockville team for their hospitality, contributions to the raffle prizes, and assistance throughout the evening.

The photos and videos taken during this event are available here.
