ddruz, Thanks! I will e-mail George and lobby on our behalf regarding the "destination fee." Although Hawaii is a small market, our market penetration percentage is really high. In addition to what the others have mentioned about how many "eyeballs" would get to see the vehicles here. We get so many tourists from the fly-over states, it would definitely be in Tesla's interest to have as many of them zipping around here.
I have production 8,983. As I plan to drive it in Honolulu for at least 10 years, the 40 kWH pack should do. We drive less than 5,000 miles/year and 99% of our daily trips do not exceed 25 miles, even on weekends. If I do decide to retire on the mainland and decide to bring by car along for the sake of sentimentality, I am hoping that a battery, inverter and programming upgrade would be feasible.
I don't know how to get a pin on the World Map
