I returned to Maui a year ago after completing a 4-month 50 state 33,000 mile drive in my 2015 P85”D”. One of the many reasons I ordered a “D“ is because it lessened the chance of not being able to get to my next destination if one of the motors broke down as I crossed each of the 50 states...

Who needs to fly or swim to/from Maui... Simply order a modified Cybertruck from Munro...he plans to convert 1 of the 5 they preordered - into a boat lol

As you lay at the poolside in Wailea, watch this video of the drive I organized for Maui Tesla owners :-)

My 2 Powerwalls (and more PV panels) is scheduled to be installed on Monday! And it will not affect our existing net-metering agreement. The installer is Tesla authorized, but not Tesla. A friend had 4 Powerwalls installed in his garage at the end of 2017 - and he is off grid. His cost was...

Here in San Diego, residential, single family home. It looks like the cost of electricity will cost more than my gas car Not if you periodically charge at SC. When SuperCharger locations become entertainment destinations I’m sure you’ll do some free charging there. We have a small...

Boring Company should do the test tunnel in a city or country that will welcome them with open arms - and put Culver City last on the list after the tunnel is proven successful.

That’s the coolest Tesla garage I’ve seen yet, but what’s the tool boxes for? I gave away my tools on Craigslist when my S arrived. All you’ll need is a bottle of distilled water and a tire pressure gauge.

I don't mind organizing it if there's at least 25 Teslas participating. The Haleakala drive was fun -- that was a lot of coordinating for only 13 Teslas. The only way I was able to find owners was to flag them down in parking lots and traffic lights -- not the most professional way lol. If...

Let me know your phone number via my email [email protected] and I'll give you more info about the drive tomorrow. Thanks (Sea Level to 10,000 feet elevation in the "shortest distance" is the reason the route is known as the steepest "paved" road)

Hi Kimber, A Tesla drive up the steepest paved road in the world (sea level to 10,000 feet elevation) is set for this Saturday January 7. Video will be sent to Tesla.com. 16 Teslas signed up. Reply if you want to join us. We have at least 2 model X, and a Roadster.

Nanimac, are you an owner on Maui?

Hi Nanimac, I'm not good at posting on threads online, but I see you're pretty active. Maybe you can help: I've gotten to know John and Tammy Browning over the past several months and was invited to participate in an event he hosted last month for the Exotic Car Club on Maui. There were about...

This thread has interesting arguments on both sides. The photo you posted of Tesla's letter only seems to be of the last paragraph. Would you mind posting a photo of the previous paragraphs? Thanks.

Charger at Condo

I think it won't be long before Machine Learning will advance Tesla's black box to "disable" a local's charge port cover from opening at local SC's if it's determined by his driving pattern & habits that he is near his home charger and has enough juice to get there. Or maybe a perpetrator's...

Doesn't matter now. When my wife wasn't home the buyers (husband/wife) showed up and his wife jokingly asked if all the shoes were for sale too. I ;) as I told her it's included in the price of the tools. Few minutes after they left my wife was all :D as she pulled in the carport and saw...

It's blocking her shoe closet.

I couldn't find a seller to break a set of 4 either, so I'm considering these. Unless I'm missing something, seems like the close-out special is a good price. Will be strictly for spare: Also considering getting the (higher priced) compact BMW spare, but it seems too narrow (especially for...

Low priced spare tire:

We Now Own Tesla. :) Never Needs Wrenching. I Say No:(, But Wife :DSays Tools Must Go. Make Offer. What would you do?

Still available? Is it mounted with air and no leaks? Willing to break the set?

Ernie, were you ever able to find someone willing to break a set of 4 OEM 19" with mounted 245/45R19 to sell individually for spare tire? You know if any left for sale? Please PM me.

I agree with you that Hawaii probably won't see a widespread rollout of high amperage DC's --especially not with battery packs improving at a rate of 5ish% per year. At that rate of battery improvements future affordable EV models will have ranges of 400-500 miles in 5-10 years, and very few...

Positives: My wife is happier. Negatives: Cops notice us more. PreTesla my wife always ran yellow lights; now she always slows down while approaching green lights and displays a rascal grin as she catches a red. PreTesla my wife never used possessive adjectives about our cars; now "the car"...

None are at the Nissan dealer. All 9 are at public locations around Maui. My opinion is that at one time Nissan believed if they had the monopoly of fast chargers they would always get the majority of EV sales. That was true for a few years, but I don't think Leafs will out sell Teslas over the...

Nissan owns the Chademo chargers, which are managed by JumpSmart and require swiping a membership card and Tesla owners are not allowed to become JumpSmart members. They mentioned that they'll consider allowing Teslas to join "in the future", and I'm not making a big deal about it because I...

Did Solar City do a site survey for PV panels above the 5th level? Paired with Tesla's commercial batteries could it help solve the problem? Did you check into all the available tax credits for the panels and charger installations to help make it financially feasible? What about electricians...

Elon recently said "If a human can be made in 9 months, so can a machine."

Here's my "any input": I ordered my Tesla with a dual charger, and installed a HPWC on a dedicated 100 amp circuit. For me it's worth it because I'm an impatient person and don't enjoy charging at rates slower than 1 mile per minute. Especially if I come home with a low tank and have plans for...

With the Fremont factory floor space still 75% not being used, and lots of cubic space above the assembly lines not being used, I think Elon was describing his vision of how he'll set it up with more efficient programmed robots that can do more than a single task (as some on the floor already...

You may find solutions to your HPWC problems in the thread titled "HPWC Issues" Please post your solution when you find it.

FYI: you probably already know this, but as a reminder don't keep resetting your breakers or your HPWC reset buttons-- until you find out what's causing it to trip! It's trying to tell you something is wrong and it's trying to prevent damage!! I wouldn't reset it more than 2 or 3 times without...

Congrats on your 90D!! Is there an appropriate rated breaker just before the HWPC (on that 200 amp line) Is there anything connected to that circuit other than the HWPC? Is your dip switches inside the HPWC set to 40 amps? If set wrong/higher I'm guessing the delicate electronics board may...

Also for more clarity, I think it's important that owners know that just because a Destination Charging station is on a 100 amp circuit doesn't mean a 59mph rate of charge. The station needs to be on a dedicated 100 amp breaker AND ALSO HAVE DUAL CHARGERS onboard the Tesla -- which can be...

Akikiki, that shareholder's meeting was great, wasn't it. I hope all future ones are that long. I only asked about dsmith2189's charger because "he" mentioned that he had a "charger" in a box unused. And I found it unusual that his charger required such an extreme upgrade. He mentioned he's...

Dsmith2189: I'm curious which EV charger you have in the box that requires a new feed from HECO and a new transformer. A Tesla Destination Charger can be installed on a 50 amp circuit, but 100 is best (basically same as a clothes dryer outlet). Are you sure the board made the correct...

I mentioned it because a lot of businesses don't know of Tesla's free offer. A Destination Charger can be connected and could be useful.... Tesla's Destination Charger comes with a 20' cord and could possibly reach to a 3rd parking spot, or even used as a back-up if the ChargePoint...

Richard Maui Glad to hear you got approval for the charger. Did you request a Destination Charger from Tesla Motors? I believe they're still offering the hardware at no charge (free!!) to places of business (installation not included) -- not sure a condo unit would qualify, but it's worth...

My decision to invest in ticker TSLA a few years ago was 95% based on MUSK and 5% TSLA. For shareholders, can Mr Musk assure us that he is in good health, and gets medical check-ups regularly (unexpected news would be unfortunate for MUSK & TSLA. i.e JOBS & AAPL)

Does anyone on Maui or Oahu have a used Tesla 19" wheel with tire for sale? I was tempted to purchase the Jack Point Jack Stands for DIY tire rotations, but it's very costly with shipping to Hawaii - and it'd only get used twice a year. Instead I think I'd rather just get an extra wheel to use...

It'd be fun if at least 20 Maui owners could meet at Baldwin Park (sea level) and convoy up Haleakala. Maybe we could do a frunking (tailgating) photo shoot at sunset? If I'm not mistaken, Haleakala Hwy is the steepest paved highway in the world (sea level to 10,000 ft elevation in the...
