    Lots of Model 3 Newbie Questions- Hawaii

    I just talked to him and he said he does something very similar using a different brand. I don't know too much about Xpel and the like as I prefer vinyl wrap. One thing for sure, the vinyl wrap has spared me from costly paint jobs twice since I bought my X. With my kind of luck, I had my 3...

    Lots of Model 3 Newbie Questions- Hawaii

    I've used Al's Tinting in Aiea to tint and wrap my S, X and 3. Really happy with the quality of his work and his attention to detail. I think his prices are very competitive if not better. One thing he will not do is to tint/wrap outside his shop. He said he prefers to work in a controlled...

    Time running out for Model X 2017 *massive* business-use tax deduction

    @MelaniainLA, so my X was delivered on 9/20 hence I cannot take the 100% deduction which is fine. If I sell my X this year, I understand there is a recapture but if I buy another X, could I take the 100% deduction ? Thanks.

    Protective film on Model 3 ?

    And I thought everything is expensive in Hawaii....Al's Tinting in Aiea, HI has done my S in Pearl White, X in Deep Matte Blue and now my 3 in Matte Red Metallic. They use 3M film. He charges about $ 3500 about to fully wrap any any Tesla.

    Red vs. Blue: Post your best pics and vote

    They use 3M almost exclusively. He did my X in matte blue and I love it.

    Red vs. Blue: Post your best pics and vote

    I like any color as long as it is matte. Much easier to maintain....

    Let's talk financing rates

    Their promo of 1.99% for 60 months I believe is going up today to 2.24%. I closed on my loan Saturday to lock the 1.99%. I was scheduled for delivery this Thursday anyway so timing was perfect. I asked to be considered for 72 months and they approved it at the same rate. 15% minimum down I...

    Hawaii Model 3

    I configured 2/14, got VIN 010XXX 3/31. I got basic black since I'm planning to get it wrapped by Al's Tinting again. He did a very good job with my S and X. I got the aero wheels.

    Hawaii Model 3

    It seems my 3 was teleported from San Diego to Honolulu! Yesterday my ISA said it's in San Diego and that I will be advised once it's loaded on the boat. Today she called me to let me know it's in Honolulu already. My delivery is next Thursday.

    Hawaii Model 3

    I got my VIN March 31 then an email form the ISA on April 2. I was told yesterday that it's at the port and to expect delivery in 5-7 days after it's loaded on the boat.

    Let's talk financing rates

    They have a long list of employers/organizations eligible for membership (which I don't belong to any of them since I live in Hawaii) but they will accept you if you are an AARP member or belong to another CU. I'm using the latter.

    Let's talk financing rates

    Shopped around for my Model 3 and found Financial Partners CU in Downey CA had the best rates albeit promotional... 1.99% for 60 months and possibly up to 72 months on case by case basis. I applied online and got approval in less than 3 hours. They require at least 15% down.
