    Hawaii - Model 3 reservations

    They mentioned "email confirmation within 24 hours" when I placed my order; I'd be surprised if anything went out before the reveal today (5:30pm HST) -- maybe the confirmation email will contain an image of the Model 3! :) Also: I can't remember where I read it, but I thought that the orders...

    Time to close Tesla Model X Falcon Wing door: 5-6 secs

    Things I noticed from this video: 1) VIN was 84 -- meaning there are at least 78 more production Model X videos beyond the five plus Elon's that were delivered 9/29. Of those, many are test/demo cars presumably, but surely some must be going out for delivery soon. 2) The car software doesn't...

    Tesla Sightings in Hawaii

    Last week, I spotted 4 different Tesla's going the opposite way on my ~10 min drive from Koko Marina to the start of H1! (and more than half of that drive is obscured by a median -- could have been even more than 4 spotted) Any count on the # of Teslas on the island now?

    Free airport parking in Honolulu is back!!

    Just took our Tesla 40 kWh to the airport on 11/20 (120 Ideal miles remaining), and then picked it up upon return last night 12/3 (86 Ideal miles remaining) -- almost 2 full weeks! Thanks to 5.8 car update, the "Sleep" mode made this possible just in time for our trip (and it was of course free...

    Tesla Sightings in Hawaii

    I know, right? I'm used to someone playing 80 maybe 90 mins. But they literally played for over 3 hours! Robert Smith's voice=still amazing The setlist We were running late when we got there and didn't get a chance to take a photo of the mirrored Blue Teslas, bummer.

    Hawaii Tesla Owners: What did you drive prior to getting your MS?

    Leading up to our 40 Model S, we drove 2 reliable Honda Accords since 2000 essentially, accumulating almost 300,000 total miles. Before that, I drove a blue '73 Chevy Nova SuperSport for a few years.

    First Hawaii Tesla Meet Up!

    The Koko Head-bound DOT signs I have been seeing state traffic will be altered 6-10am, so we should be well in the clear.

    Hawaii - Tesla and other EV Related Resources

    I don't like their calculations for Hawaii. I think gas is more like $4.20 here. Also, this should be the eGallon $/gal for Tesla's in Hawaii: (30 mil/gal) * (.300 kWh/mi) * (HECO $0.334/kWh) = $3.01/eGal -- well under $4.20, but not so hot due to our 33.4 cents per kWh on Oahu. Note: I went...

    Hi nanimac, you think you saw my wife? What time of day was it? btw, your car and ours are pretty much identical, with ours being different in these ways: obeche gloss, +sound, +rear seats.

    First Hawaii Tesla Meet Up!

    Sounds like good options for Hawaii Kai. A few evenings per week at twilight time, after our kids (girl 1 1/2, boy almost 4) get completely ready for bed, we jump in the Tesla and do a Tour de Hawaii Kai (which usually ends with either the kids asleep after 30 mins or a "No!!! Let's keep...
