    Searching for tires

    I just had Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 installed at Costco. Took a month to get them. I love how they handle. They are a lot stickier than the stock tires, but there is a range tradeoff. I lost about 20 wh/m.

    Outer Island Service Experience

    Update: It took one year and 4 months, but they flew out to install the FSD computer today! The delays were understandable... the islands were locked down because of the pandemic and inter island flights were impossible.

    I have this one and it can be installed in two minutes. I just keep it in my trunk.

    HW3 Upgrade?

    I have been making an appointment once a month in the app. Every time they say “Sorry, it’s not in stock yet. Try scheduling at a later time” I’d rather just get a refund on FSD at this point. It seems like it’s never going to happen.

    Tesla’s on Kauai

    I’ve seen a white and a blue model 3 driving around with a surf rack. I don’t know then though.

    HW3 Upgrade?

    I'm wondering how they are going to handle outer island upgrades. I can't get an answer.

    Autopilot/autosteer on highway 19 big island

    It's only because the car doesn't know the speed limit. In cases where a speed limit doesn't exist in navigation, it limits you to 45. I had the same problem on Kauai for most of my drive.

    Outer Island Service Experience

    I just wanted to share my service experience living on Kauai because I had no idea how it would go. I didn't buy my car here, I had it shipped from the mainland when I moved here. My daytime running light went out. No indication from the car, I just noticed it in a reflection .... which I...

    Hawaii's EV Incentives

    I guess I need a Hawaii plate before I can take advantage of the incentives. Kauai airport specifically says on the sign "parking for vehicles with EV plates" And it looks like you can't have custom tags either for free parking.

    Tesla’s on Kauai

    The free public chargers around the island have greatly improved in the last few months. Everyone's starting to install chargepoint. Kikui Grove mall is the latest to replace their broken generic charger with free chargepoint access. I've charged at home twice ever because of the availability...

    Full Self Driving thoughts?

    I think it's totally worth it. I use summon every day in and out of my garage. My 45 minute commute is much better with autopilot. I'm on Kauai so I can't use NoA, but it was awesome in FL on a big open highway like I95.
