June 2026 — Ohio Tesla News, FSD, Robotaxi, Optimus + Friday meetup

Welcome to the first issue of the Tesla Owners Club of Ohio newsletter. Consider this the official rebirth of the club — a real amount of time, energy, and personal money has gone into standing this back up the right way.

We're registered with the State of Ohio and fully insured, so members, hosts, and venues are all properly protected at meetups and events.

We're also actively looking for a Vice President who can help with treasury duties. If that's you (or someone you know), reply to this email — it's a real role with real impact on where the club goes next.

From here on out you'll get one of these on the last Friday of every month — short, focused, and Ohio-first.

We're kicking off the season with a casual mini light-show as the opener. Roll in around 9 PM — late enough that it's actually dark.

When: Friday, June 26 · ~9:00 PM Where: 7242 Tylers Corner Dr, West Chester Township, OH 45069

No RSVP needed. If you can make it, please show up — the more cars syncing, the better the show.

Ohio requires 150 signatures of interest before the BMV will produce a specialty plate. If you're an Ohio Tesla owner (or know one), please sign the interest form — it takes about 30 seconds. This is the single biggest thing that moves the plate forward.

FSD v13 — the end-to-end neural-net build is what most Ohio owners are running today. Smoother unprotected lefts, better lane selection on rural two-lanes, and fewer phantom slowdowns on I-71 / I-75. If you haven't driven it on a real Ohio highway lately, this is the version to try.

Robotaxi & Cybercab — the supervised pilot keeps expanding market-by-market and the purpose-built Cybercab is tightening up its production timeline. Columbus and Cincinnati are the realistic first Ohio stops; we'll cover it the moment it touches an Ohio ZIP code.

Optimus — the humanoid program is graduating from the factory floor into real pilot deployments, with meaningful gains in fine motor control and gait. Early, but worth tracking.

Tesla Semi — customer deliveries are ramping with the Nevada factory coming online. Ohio sits on I-70, I-71, I-75, and I-80/90, so the Megacharger rollout in our region matters even if you'll never own one.

We're tracking every Tesla Supercharger and Electrify America DC-fast site in Ohio with live status, stalls, and peak power. This first issue is the baseline; starting next month this section will call out only what came online since the previous issue. NEVI-funded sites are also starting to flip from 'announced' to 'construction' across the state.

Real talk: the club runs on members and sponsors. Both are intentionally affordable — we'd rather have a lot of engaged Ohio owners than a small VIP list. Membership starts free (Community), and paid tiers help cover meetup costs, swag, charging events, and the plate/petition work.

Sponsorships are flat-rate and Ohio-only. If you'd like your business featured at an upcoming meetup — installer, detailer, body shop, charging-friendly venue, accessory maker, anything in the Ohio EV orbit — just reply and say so. We're actively building the sponsor lineup for the next round of events and there's room.
