Tesla is launching its own social network , aiming to harness the collective power of its fans for fundraising efforts and political campaigns . It is called Engage Tesla, which will replace the company 's existing forum , the content of which will remain accessible, but without the ability to add or modify the content .
Engage Tesla will be accessible to both owners of Tesla and those who want to keep a close eye on the company's activities. In addition, members will be able to discuss issues, rumors and anything else related to the company on this platform.
In addition, the Tesla Engagement Platform will be a tool for organizing charitable and charitable activities, while it will also be a "fertile" ground for the exchange and development of new ideas.
The social network envisioned by Tesla CEO Elon Muskwill also aim to bring together Tesla's Owners Clubs with the company's public policy team. Users will also be restricted from commenting on posts made by the company itself.
The Engage Tesla welcome page states the following: “The goal of our platform is to create a digital foundation for all of our work and make it easier for Tesla community members to learn what’s hot for us, while helping us take meaningful action and stay connected.”
An ongoing campaign is encouraging members in Nebraska to contact their Senators and express their support for legislation that would allow Tesla to open its own licensed locations and service centers in the state.
Another post is about organizing fundraising campaigns for Texas communities affected by the recent devastating winter storm, including assistance for food banks, homeless shelters, and pet rescue charities.
The Tesla Owners' Club of Silicon Valley recently raised over $10,000 to help with disaster relief efforts following the Texas blizzard.
The move to a new platform with more corporate oversight has upset some forum members, who claim that Engage Tesla will hinder discussions on some topics.
