Interesting, I received an email w/subject "Your Model 3 reservation is confirmed" at 2:35am this morning. However... No mention of RN # in the email No mention of RN # in My Tesla (when I login through website on my laptop) No mention of RN # in ipad Tesla app When reserving yesterday morning...

They mentioned "email confirmation within 24 hours" when I placed my order; I'd be surprised if anything went out before the reveal today (5:30pm HST) -- maybe the confirmation email will contain an image of the Model 3! :) Also: I can't remember where I read it, but I thought that the orders...

Things I noticed from this video: 1) VIN was 84 -- meaning there are at least 78 more production Model X videos beyond the five plus Elon's that were delivered 9/29. Of those, many are test/demo cars presumably, but surely some must be going out for delivery soon. 2) The car software doesn't...

Last week, I spotted 4 different Tesla's going the opposite way on my ~10 min drive from Koko Marina to the start of H1! (and more than half of that drive is obscured by a median -- could have been even more than 4 spotted) Any count on the # of Teslas on the island now?

Just took our Tesla 40 kWh to the airport on 11/20 (120 Ideal miles remaining), and then picked it up upon return last night 12/3 (86 Ideal miles remaining) -- almost 2 full weeks! Thanks to 5.8 car update, the "Sleep" mode made this possible just in time for our trip (and it was of course free...

Hi All, The episode of Island Driver TV (OC16) that was filmed during our Kakaako meetup aired yesterday (Sat 09/14), and should be showing throughout this week. Focus on the Tesla at the beginning of the episode. Scheduling info here: http://www.oc16.tv/shows

I know, right? I'm used to someone playing 80 maybe 90 mins. But they literally played for over 3 hours! Robert Smith's voice=still amazing The setlist We were running late when we got there and didn't get a chance to take a photo of the mirrored Blue Teslas, bummer.

That was us! We thought that was you :smile:

Leading up to our 40 Model S, we drove 2 reliable Honda Accords since 2000 essentially, accumulating almost 300,000 total miles. Before that, I drove a blue '73 Chevy Nova SuperSport for a few years.

Thanks everyone, big success! We had a blast :smile:

The Koko Head-bound DOT signs I have been seeing state traffic will be altered 6-10am, so we should be well in the clear.

I don't like their calculations for Hawaii. I think gas is more like $4.20 here. Also, this should be the eGallon $/gal for Tesla's in Hawaii: (30 mil/gal) * (.300 kWh/mi) * (HECO $0.334/kWh) = $3.01/eGal -- well under $4.20, but not so hot due to our 33.4 cents per kWh on Oahu. Note: I went...

Yep, ours is blue too. I've seen a white one around the area as well.

Hi nanimac, you think you saw my wife? What time of day was it? btw, your car and ours are pretty much identical, with ours being different in these ways: obeche gloss, +sound, +rear seats.

Sounds like good options for Hawaii Kai. A few evenings per week at twilight time, after our kids (girl 1 1/2, boy almost 4) get completely ready for bed, we jump in the Tesla and do a Tour de Hawaii Kai (which usually ends with either the kids asleep after 30 mins or a "No!!! Let's keep...

Oops, my understanding of Act 89 was 1 EV spot per each 100 parking spots in a lot, but after re-reading it looks like just "at least 1" EV spot for lots with at least 100 spots. So a lot with 600 stalls needs to have just 1 EV spot at a minimum. Any other interpretations?

Yeah, that's the only one. Usually see the same few Nissan Leaf cars (gray, blue) using it. We're in the Triangle/Portlock area. Currently looking at office space in Koko Marina (Sofos Realty) and Hawaii Kai Exec Plaza (Commercial Asset Advisors), so I should press the property managers on Act...

Should be able to do any weekend. Stoked!

Hi dpodoll, Thanks for looking into this. Check the text under the red "update" icon here: http://hawaii.gov/hnl/airport-parking/electric-vehicle-parking "Effective July 1, 2013, an electric vehicle on which an electric vehicle license plate is affixed shall be exempt from payment of parking...

FYI, I ended up going with this one. Will let you know how it works when it gets here.

FYI, regarding SuperChargers in Hawaii -- I forgot to mention that when I picked my car up almost 2 weeks ago, Luke at the Service Center said there may be plans down the line to put in SuperChargers at the Waipahu Service Center. This makes sense, so they can charge cars quickly as they receive...

Great collection of resources! For an up to date charging map, I recommend: http://www.plugshare.com/

Single-occupant HOV access Free parking at HNL (a 24 hour limit) Free State + County parking facility use [including: Municipal lots, Blaisdell parking] -- 24 hour limit Free metered parking, with a 2.5 hour limit or maximum time limit of meter if greater than 2.5 hours ** By law, parking lots...

Thanks for the suggestion, gmtom1. I want something to spot clean here and there that won't take up much space to keep in the car, ideally in the 3rd row side well. I was thinking more of something like this, or something from this section -- if anyone has personal experience with these...

Our blue 40 kWh superstar is great! Got tint job and deluxe paint protection kit done @ Protint. Opened her up a bit on H3. Even when going really fast in this car, it doesn't really feel like you're going too fast -- dangerous! In 1 week, we've put over 300 miles on it, but never had it below...

Thank you to whoever has put together the 2-page checklist they now hand out at the Tesla Service Center when you take delivery. Very useful! Addendum: To avoid multiple trips to DMV/Satellite City Hall: If you have a co-registrant on your Model S, make sure both names appear on the notorized...

She doesn't have a name yet, but by now our kids (1, 3) probably think the name is "DON'T TOUCH THE PAINT!" Will try and post a few pictures later today. First song I played: "Flash" by Queen (hey Flash, that may have to be her name!); first song my son asked for when I picked him up from school...

OK, I take it all back -- DS and service center rock! Picked up our blue beauty yesterday, and now have that Tesla grin permanently glued to my face. :biggrin:

Writing to see if anyone else has had not-so-good experiences with "Delivery Specialist" (Robert). It's been like pulling teeth to get updates. Let me preface everything by saying I am indeed aware of the large shipment of Model S that has come in, how overworked the service center is. I'm...

Found out earlier this week we'll be taking delivery in mid-June of our 40, woohoo! Pretty much all set as we have our garage charger installed. One thing we'd like to take care of right away is protecting the paint since we didn't order the Tesla paint armor. @nanimac mentioned way back in...

I believe this is the IRS form you're looking for: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8911.pdf It's up to 30% of $1000 for personal property. See also: Federal Register | Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Form 8911 TaxAlmanac - A free online tax research resource and community - Internal...

Hi Jkam, my understanding is that for NEMA 14-50 outlet, it draws at 50 amps + 240 Volts. 50 a * 240 V = 12 kW. And that gets about 31 miles of range per hour I think? 8 A * 215 V = 1.72 kW -- or 14 1/3 % of what the NEMA 14-50 can do. So I'd expect something of 31 * .14333 ~= 4.5 miles of range...

Hi All, Just caught up on the entire thread. Thank you everyone for all of the fantastic info. I agree if we could continue to build on the Honolulu registration process that jkam laid out so nicely back on Page 11 of this thread, that would be immensely helpful to everyone. We reserved back...
