Crazy is right! $.43/kWh here in Hawaii. Gas is “only” $4.79 for reg ….. at the moment.

Took delivery of our first EV, a new 2023 M3 RWD on Aug 21st here on the big island of Hawaii. Charge was at 97% when we left our home a little north of Kona. We were just cruising around when we decided to head over to Hilo. Taking the north route for it's spectacular views. Speed limits are...

Aloha delirio! Seems I barely made it under the wire myself. I placed my order on June 27 and had a VIN assigned the next day. Delivery scheduled between July 17 - 21. In the following days the date would slip a few days at a time until Aug 1 it stopped appearing in the app at all. On Aug...

I really like the look of the new headlights! Any specifics on them? Global (Matrix) or ?? Highly likely the Euro version will have the Global with full functionality but how about US? Different altogether??

Do you think the car in the center of the pic is a tease of the new Model 2 or the Highland? Note the Model S, X “grille”. Who’s the babe coming out of the right side door?

Is this a model for things to come? Just for fun, zoom in on the rendering and see how many Easter eggs you can find. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-supercharger-diner-permit-approved/

Which island are you on? So you are back on the road in good shape?

I was wondering that myself. They look professionally done.

Visited the Waimea Farmers Market yesterday and came across this model 3. AFAIK the red interior isn't an option so must be custom (??). Kinda like it although think a brighter red would be more to my taste!! Anyone seen this before?

I meant 3/4" conduit was recommended for the WC. Strange, I couldn't edit my previous post.

Planning on 3/4" (rigid or flex) PVC if using THHN. I've heard that #10 UF is difficult to pull thru 3/4" and would be better with 1". Seems THNN has a better coating for pulling ? THNN would be the better choice as Tesla recommends it for the WC (?).

The house configuration makes it quite difficult to add a new circuit. Will I need to use THHN or THWN wire since I am pulling thru conduit outdoors above ground? Google says UF wire is good for above application. Comments?

Thanks Bard, plenty to think about.

Hi all! Expecting delivery, according to Tesla, between July 10-19th in Honolulu. Need to transport to Big Island. Any recent experiences? What shipper, how long, need to make appointment, etc? Better for me to fly over, take delivery and then take to dock? Anyone there to help? So far no...

No direct knowledge but Google does. fhttps://dccelectric.com/
