Sorry, I don't have all the info on the Big Island cars, but here's what I've been seeing just in the daytime around the island. Being the country bumpkin that I am, I don't get out after dark much. I suspect there are many more cars sequestered behind the gates of the resort subdivisions that...

Saw a silver one makai bound on East Manoa Road yesterday morning. Made my two two day business trips to Honolulu in one week all worthwhile...

Mahalo Akikiki! All is well in Kona, Hilo and Kawaihae. Puna, Ka'u and Hamakua took all the hits. Our thoughts and prayers are with those folks. Mahalo nui loa to Mauna Loa and Madame Pele!

Aloha Nigel, Got it. Thanks! Respectfully, Jeff

Once again, I just can't say enough good things about how well Tesla's employees treat us here on Hawaii Island. Erik dropped off the P85+ loaner at our house this morning and is now driving our car to Kawaihae Harbor some 45 miles away to be shipped to Honolulu for warranty work. While they...

Of course. Nice catch!

Only one besides us, but he drove all the way from Kalapana. Nice interesting guy. I sent him a link to this forum. He'd fit right in.

Good turnout, good food and good conversation... Electric Vehicle Fast Charger Station holds grand opening | West Hawaii Today

Anyone looking for an excuse to come to the Big Island? Sunday July 6 Maunalani Shops is having a grand opening/EV event for their new DC high speed charger. Event: Hawaii Island Electric Vehicle Expo

Here's my two cents... The Big Island, as most of you probably already know, is nearly twice as big as all the other islands combined. Call me unreasonable (I've been called worse), but I believe that if Elon wants to sell more cars to the hundreds of people from all over the world who have...

Yes, I just started noticing curves really eat up the juice. In recent years on the ships we started saving tons of fuel on long passages using adaptive steering systems that minimized rudder movement. I'm thinking I can do the same staying in the middle of those curvy circle island country...
