    Cybertrucks in Hawaii

    I don't know if I'm the first in the TMC Hawaii group, but I placed my CT AWD FS order yesterday, March 21st. I received my invite email on Monday the 18th, but I didn't see it until yesterday. I originally reserved on 11/24/19. I don't recall seeing a delivery window timeframe when I placed...

    Cybertruck - Post Launch Reactions

    Now that the Cybertruck launch event has occurred, I thought it might be good to start a Hawaii specific thread on reactions, who's keeping their reservations, what trim level, etc. For me, I placed my reservation the weekend after the initial introduction event in 2019. I initially had a dual...

    HVAC Air Re-circulation setting changes

    Is there a way to keep the air re circulation setting on all the time? I turn it on, but I'll discover later in the same drive or on subsequent drives, the it turns off again. I haven't been able to determine if there's a pattern or reason why it turns off. I've already tried "saving" it to...

    HW3 Upgrade?

    Just curious if anyone here has had their HW3 done yet, and if so, how did you find out about it? I'm just wondering if Tesla has started allocating HW3 computers to Hawaii customers yet. I don't have a real reason to have a SC visit, except to fix the battery breather service bulletin, which...

    Model Y Ordered

    Just placed an order for a Model Y AWD LR after I saw that Tesla dropped the order deposit from $2500 to $100. Unfortunately, you can no longer order the 7-seat version; it's still in the design studio, but it says it will not be available until 2021 and the option is not clickable. They also...

    Cybertruck reservations

    Any other Hawaii owners made their Cybertruck reservation? My initial reaction after last Thursday's livestream reveal was :confused::eek:o_O , but it has since "grown" on me :cool::D :)and I put my $100 down on Saturday. I figure it's fully refundable, so no harm in getting into the...

    Tesla Insurance Available in California (for now)

    Hopefully this gets rolled out to Hawaii soon. 20-30% discount is big, but the details matter. Most carriers will give you loyalty, multi-car, and bundling discounts that can range from 10-20% off, and you may not be able to get your personal umbrella policy to cover the Tesla coverage if you...

    Samsung Note 9/Galaxy Watch Issues

    I have a Samsung Note 9 that I use as my Model 3 key as well as have paired for media playback. I know BT connections are finicky, but I've had increasing issues with my Model 3, especially with the latest update and/or since I've had my Galaxy watch. First off, the car will not unlock if my...

    Warning - Auto-presenting doors & charging

    For those X owners that have the auto-presenting doors turned on, make sure the doors re-close when you're at home and plugged in/charging. My X is parked such that sometimes when I'm walking through the house with my keys, the car will sense and pop open the door. It normally re-closes...

    Car Parlor

    Has anyone tried the Car Parlor on Kapiolani next to McKinley yet? Unfortunately, I got caught in the aftermath of Friday night's storm and it looks like I took my X off-roading. Don't have the time or motivation to try to clean it up myself.

    New arrivals in the Tesla logo shop

    Can't say that I'm really interested in any of these, except for the diecast S if it was available in silver. The chargers are interesting, but you're paying a big premium for "Tesla Design" At least there's a one-stop place to see all the new stuff instead of scrolling through the whole shop...

    Hi All, I'm not sure if this post is against the forum rules, but I won a set of 22" turbine wheels & tires for my Model X from the referral program in either silver or black. Although I do like the look of the wheels, I'm not really excited about the sacrifice in ride quality that will go...

    USB-C Cable available for dock

    The tesla store has Model 3 accessories available, and I noticed there's a USB-C cable available so I ordered it. Just received it today, and it looks like it will work with the existing docks in the Model X and S. It was $14, but worth it for saving the effort of shaving down a regular right...

    OTA Update 17.24.28 on AP1 X

    I received an OTA last night to 17.24.28 on my AP1 X. There's no release notes, and the significant change I noticed this morning is AP is now limited to 40 mph on local roads and highways that were not limited before. Bummer, as no one drives 40 on Kal highway (or any other highway for that...

    Tesla accident in the news

    Fortunately, the Model S' outstanding safety proved itself once again. Glad to hear the driver & passenger are okay. It's unfortunate about the fatality on the part of the other car, but I guess Darwin's law....:( Anyone know these folks? Couple hit in deadly crash urges drivers to slow down...

    Tesla Top Twenty Station on Slacker

    If this is old news, my apologies, but there's a new station on Slacker "Telsa Top Twenty" that is made from the top songs that only Tesla accounts play, according to the intro roll. I guess they built the playlist using all our collective account data. It's not all that different from the...

    Slacker Login info

    Is Tesla still giving out the login info for Slacker if you ask? What's the appropriate way to ask? I never did this for my S and I think I regret it. I would like to have used the account when I'm out of the car to listen to the same "stations" I had saved in the car.

    Goodyear Tires vs. Michelin

    My S is approaching 26k miles and my two front tires are getting thin and noisy and I'm sure the rear tires will be needing replacement soon too. What has everyone else been doing regarding replacing tires on their cars and any recommendations? I would be fine with replacing them with the same...

    Slacker - "Favorite" song feature - does this do anything?

    Has anyone figured out why/what the purpose of the "favorite" button for the songs are? (the one below the cover art - not the favorite station button) Using Slacker on the web, "favorite"ing an individual song would allow you to build a custom station with all your favorite tracks. But unless...

    Tesla Financing is available in Hawaii

    Tesla Merchandise availability

    Anyone been successful in ordering any TM logo items from the website? Seems like everything has been sold out for weeks. I guess they're too busy making cars to re-stock the online store. Been trying to order a hat and a couple of coffee mugs for weeks.
