Weʼve raised £1,440 to purchase 50 additional Mini Tesla Model S cars to be donated to children hospices and hospitals across the UK and Europe.
- Funded on Wednesday, 31st October 2018
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Story
As you may have seen seen Elon Musk & RadioFlyer have responded to my recent tweets (https://twitter.com/WillFealey/status/1012151776391454722) showing support for this campaign, since then many members of the public, Tesla owners across the world have wanted to donate to help this cause so I've setup this campaign in the hope of getting enough funds to buy a further 50 Mini Teslas to be given to children's hospitals and hospices in the UK and Europe.
For every mini Tesla cars worth of funds (£666) donated we have matched funding to buy another one, so 50 cars pledged on here equals 100 cars ordered!
In addition to these 100 we have the following pledged already:
- 29 cars pledged by Tesla Owners' UK Members (total of £22,000+ pledged)
- I will personally be donating 13 cars at full price
- A heavily reduced rate for 25 of the cars
- Tesla Owners' UK will donate an additional 2 cars from club funds and cover printing costs for stickers, welcome packs and 'reveal' sheets.
- Over 66 UK owners have pledged their future referral toy cars to the scheme
- Numerous warehouses across the UK have been pledged for storage/photoshoot etc
- 3 haulage/transport companies willing to donate their time, trucks and staff to moving the mini cars from the main location to the regional locations where an endless supply of Tesla owners will collect and hand deliver each car to the selected charities/hospices/hospitals etc.
- Over 6 cars have already been delivered to hospices and hospitals in the UK
- Various other anonymous pledges for cars

What stipulations are given to the hospices/hospitals?
All that we ask is that these cars get used by children that are going through extremely difficult times and that they won't end up in a corner of a room unused, therefore we're requesting written approval from the hospice or hospital management for each car donated to stipulate that they will be of use in the facility, will be used by their patients and that the cars cannot be sold for cash or other services.
I don't want to donate here but would like to help in another way
Please make contact with Will Fealey via Twitter or Message Tesla Owners UK on Facebook
What will happen if/when you run out of locations to send the cars?
The cars not used in the UK will be headed to Europe and will be split and sent to the officials clubs listed on https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/support/tesla-owners-club-directory equally.
Which children's hospices/hospitals are going to get them?
Members of TOGUK (Tesla Owners Group UK) are coordinating a direct contact approach with all the suitable charities/hospices/hospitals in the UK. Because we want to ensure these cars are used and not sold on for cash we're directly contacting charities that we have previous dealings with. Only one car will be given to each location.
How do I know this is legitimate?
Not only has Elon shown support for this campaign via a recent tweet but you will also find my name listed on https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/support/tesla-owners-club-directory as the Tesla Owners UK President.
