Thank you for reading the Tesla Owners Club of Maryland’s Frequently Asked Questions! The intent of this page is to be a resource for the Maryland Tesla community to augment documentation that comes with the Tesla products. Familiarity with the User’s Manual as well as the official Tesla ABC’s presentations are strongly suggested and assumed.
Everything written in this document is believed to be true at the time of this writing. If there is any feedback please post a comment below.
Every answer applies to all Tesla cars unless otherwise noted in the answer (or, if it’s about the PowerWall or Solar Roof products, which clearly applies to those products instead).
Membership
Yes, you can change your membership level at any time by going to the Change Your Membership Level page while logged in and change your level. Note, however, that we do not do any refund or prorating of the price difference between old and new levels.
Also keep in mind that the page referenced above is the same page that handles membership renewals, at which point you can certainly change your level by yourself if you don’t have auto-renew enabled.
The membership levels and their member perks are summarized in the following table:

Please be aware that the Public role is free, but still requires you to register with us so we have a way to confirm you own a Tesla.
As to why you should have to pay for them, keep in mind that some of the perks have an actual cost to the club so we will need membership dues to help pay for them. We are registered as a non-profit organization and are working on a 501.c(7) charitable organization designation as well. If you don’t want to pay anything, nothing changes for you, really.
