North Texas Tesla Owners Group d/b/a Tesla Owners Club of North Texas is a Domestic Nonprofit Corporation registered in the State of Texas and is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(7) not-for-profit “Social Club.” We are also participants in the Tesla Owners Club Program, which gives us access to certain Tesla benefits, including meetings at Tesla facilities, occasional Tesla merchandise discounts and other goodies.
Our club meets at least monthly for various social, technical, environmental and other get-togethers. Look at our upcoming and prior events pages to see the types of things we do.

We’d love to have you join our club! The club is operated by volunteers and the sole significant expense is currently general liability insurance. The club is charged two different premiums:
- A base premium that covers the club and its members for all events held on private property or otherwise not accessible to the public. (PRIVATE) (Example: DFW Solar Tour Wrap Party)
- A variable premium that covers the club and its members for all on-road events and events accessible to the public and is charged for each event. (PUBLIC) (Examples: Shannon Brewing Company Tesla Car Show & Denton Horse Country Tour
NOTES:
- All memberships are only open to individuals. The club does not currently offer corporate memberships.
- Membership of all types is per-family living in the same household.
- Dues and other contributions to the club are not tax-deductible.
In order to keep the club accessible to all, we have adopted two membership levels plus a free option.
