Hawaii

Starting a thread for CPOs and for anyone looking to buy or sell their Tesla. I think we will be seeing a jump in CPOs/owners wanting to sell privately as people upgrade to the X or a newer MS. There were 2 CPOs at the SC. Looks like the red P85+ finally sold.

Good news dsmith! Silver metallic is back in the color choices :)

I just thought that this was funny that Jamie Lee Curtis and her husband, Christopher Guest, got a surprised when they picked up their Tesla and the volume control goes up to 11.

I thought it would be timely to start a new thread for the Model X.

Robert at Auto Emporium told me he had a new product - GlareShield to solve my fingerprint problems on my center console screen. (Pssst, And it had Tesla on the box :wink:). Cool. This is better than I expected. I've had this on my screen for a few days now. I like it more and more. This...

Because of the Hawaii News Now report, I am concerned that the State legislature will change the parking at the Honolulu airport. I recently went on a 3 week trip and parked my MS for that period of time. It is a nice advantage. By the way, I only had charged my MS to about 80 miles. When...

"The Road to Hana" gets most of the publicity here on Maui, but as far as I'm concerned, "The Road to Haleakala Crater" is a lot more fun for Model S owners. As part of testing my LTE upgrade in my "Classic" Model S, I did the drive on Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 to test out the map loading and...

After nearly three years since the first Model S arrived in Hawaii, a lot of us have tried to guess how many Teslas are in here in Hawaii. Since the SC has not been very forthcoming on the actual numbers (probably because they're not allowed to say), I am proposing that we pool our efforts to...

Tesla test drive events in Kona this weekend Both sound interesting so I signed up for both days. :love: Rethink Electric: Drive Model S at Hilton Waikoloa | Tesla Motors Discover the Future of Driving at Kona Brewing Company | Tesla Motors

Hello, fellow Hawaii Model S owners! I'm getting the LTE upgrade installed this very moment on Maui (ranger install), and was told I'm the first here in Hawaii to get it. I'll try to relate the improvements I observe in this thread. Anyone else thinking about it?

I hope this is acceptable for our forum. The Big Island Electric Vehicle Association is hosting National Drive Electric Week events on September 12, from 10-2, at The Home Depot in Hilo and Sep 19, 10-2 at the Shops at Mauna Lani. We'll have the Tesla Model S and other electric cars at the...

Decided to start a new thread where Hawaii owners can share experiences with Tesla whether it be the car, service and the SC, sales, etc. I think these stories sometimes gets lost in our general Hawaii Owners thread. I'll start...this is a long one.. As many of you know I recently picked...

Debating on how to protect my new car. Last time I had a full body wrap (but only partial hood) with 22PLE on the rims. Looking for input from my fellow islanders as to what you have on your car and who installed it. This time considering partial wrap (full hood and rock prone areas) and then...

I am thinking about bringing my Tesla from the Mainland here to Maui, but live in a condo with a parking garage so won't be able to set up charging at home like I did in my garage in California. What are the options for charging on Maui? I know there are no Tesla supercharger stations, but are...

So, it turns out I can't drive my Model S to Hawaii, even after inputting the super secret code... which is unfortunate. Next month sometime I'll be flying out to Hololulu, though, for about a week of some well needed (and well deserved I might add!) R&R. Never been there. Seems like the...

Aloha all. This thread is dedicated to anyone wishing to post information about a Model S in Hawaii For Sale. Dennis Rush on Maui, has a Black 2013 S 60 for sale. You can contact Dennis directly at dennisrush88 at gmail.com and 808 875-8888 for more details of its features and his price...

Solar City just announced that Hawaii customers will be the first to get Tesla batteries in systems that take them completely off the grid: Don't expect to go off grid with new Tesla home battery just yet

Just signed up. Santa Clara Hyatt Regency this year.

Had a 60 in the production queue, and changed it to a 70D today. $500 hit, but figured it would be better to be the first 70D off the line than the last 60.

So, as many of you I'm sure experienced the vehicular insanity that ensued the past 2 days, how long did you sit in traffic? And I know we can last longer in traffic jams because of EV, but I was curious just for how long and came across this thread: Tesla Model S and traffic situations (like...

Plenty deliveries this past weekend/end of quarter in Fremont!

From Honolulu Star-Advertiser 3/27/15, Money section, page B2 EV savings estimator offered: Hawaiian Electric Company has introduced an online electric vehicle bill savings estimator that can help residential customers who have or are considering an EV estimate how much money they can...

Who helped Kaiser Mapunapuna trouble shoot their charger after the driver of the little red LEAF reported it as not working? The real problem was I didn't push the right button to turn off the LEAF's charger timing. The MS is so much easier.

I wanted to find out what insurance company you have covering your MS. I found that GEICO increased the rate to cover my MS by $200 every 6 months.

I will be shipping my Model S P85+ to Kauai, next month to my new home. Any help with shipping info, battery concerns (long shipping time), would be appreciated.

I saw this in the Star Advertiser today and am wondering if Tesla will be represented there.

I am in the process of designing a center console that won't take up the full center area since my wife likes to have the space to put her bag there. I am trying to get two more cup holders in place as well as a couple of compartments for small items. Once I have completed it, I will post a...

Starting a thread for Michael Fritts to share his experience in Hawaii and the mainland. Can't wait to hear your stories!

We met last year at the Waipio electric car show in the parking lot, but never got to see the video and pics done by the drone. Is it available anywhere to see?

Starting a thread to track any EV related bills for this legislative session. Senator wants to add teeth to Hawaii electric vehicle parking law with fines up to $20k Senator wants to add teeth to Hawaii electric vehicle parking law with fines up to $20k - Pacific Business News Measure Status

Hi guys, I downloaded the 6.1 last week with the active cruise control, music shuffle etc. I just got another notification that a newer download was ready to go, did anyone else get this? Wondering what its adding to the car. Is it the active steering? Thanks!

Happy New Year everyone!! It's time to plan our first meet up of 2015. The sales/service center has offered to host another owner's event to showcase/test drive the P85D! Just need to give them a few potential dates. I'll start off with a couple recommendations. Let me know your input...

Hi all, First of all thank you all for the support and kind words while I was waiting for my car. Ok, so I arrived there at !:00 and was surprised at all the little extras they present you with, hats scarves water bottles key chains etc. Felipe, did my delivery and was very nice and walked me...

I have decided to move my Roadster to Hana from Oregon when I get my new MX. Are there any other Roadster owners on island? I'm off the grid here, and at best will only be able to use my J1772 adapter. I have the HPC that I use in Oregon, but won't be able to use in Hana. I'm wondering if there...

Aloha. Have had my P85+ for a few months now rolling around the big island. Have seen a few other MS. There are a couple white ones here in town, seen a red in Kona... And ran across another red deep on the east side and I think I scared the owners. I stopped behind them when they pulled into...

I did read the other HECO thread on TOU and EV's but had a question. We have a PV system now that just about covers our electricity bill every month, this includes my Leaf that I charge fully every night. I'm currently putting in about 20Kwh a day into the leaf. Most months our bill is just...

I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a great MS New Year and a peaceful holiday season!

Hi all, We are moving to Oahu soon and likely ending up in Hawaii Kai. I have heard the area is pretty well saturated for solar/heco. Does anyone know if this is the case? We are carless at the moment so trying to figure out our options, and with twins on the way the Model S is on the list...

There is a blue Tesla on the windward side with after market wheels... anyone have photos of their cars with rims?

Rear ended someone, and took the busted up LEAF down to SIG's in Waipahu. Saw a White MS with 21s, and Pano roof that was missing it's front end. Anyone know who might own that one? SIG's also told my wife that they are the SC's referral body shop. I've been doing business with them for 20 years.

I just had my car picked up to replace my 12V battery about an hour ago. Danny Bonilla, who just started a month ago and two other reps that started yesterday stopped by. Danny was super courteous and friendly, just like everyone else. I was surprised when Danny told me that the Manager...

Hi Guys, I just got an email from Tesla, and my tesla page changed to accept payment. Do I send the payment now? Or can I wait till I go down to pick up the car with a check. I feel a little funny about sending so much money with no car in hand, or is it the way its done? What was everyone...

Hi Guys, I just got this email this morning and thought I share it. I read through Akikikis post on paying for taxes and reg etc. I'm glad to announce that those days are over! Yea! Hi Ross, You may make final payment on your MyTesla account once your final paperwork is posted. You will...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and i was curious if any of you would rent a model s for one day. My wife and i recently went to test drive a model s and we instantly fell DEEPER in love. We're awaiting approval of our new solar system before we buy one but i wanted to surprise my wife and let her...

Wow, finally I am able to post on this great site! I've been trying and trying for about 2-3 months and wasnt able to. I finally registered under a new name and it worked! I've read almost every thread on the main forum and this Hawaii thread drooling over all the information and so anxious...

P85 - Red - Sensors all over the place - 68 miles and I have it until they finish doing something to my cooling system (vents not working and need to be replaced????). Probably a one day thing. Lucky me

4 Stalls, good location, EXPENSIVE. At least this ICE car has the handicap .
