I was there in February. The chargers are in a public lot with no restrictions on access. If supercharge.info says “private access”, then I believe it is a mistake. Access to the entire island is difficult, but if you get there, there are zero restrictions on access to the chargers. The...

That’s actually a terrible location for the charge pedestals. There will be ICE problems and bad attitude issues.

… and I stopped at the Flyin C Ranch a few minutes later. No sign of actual or pending activity. I went inside but didn’t get to ask anybody about Superchargers - they were a bit busy.

I’m at Clines Corner now. There are 2 Francis Energy pedestals with CCS+Chademo. The point being that they aren’t against EV chargers, but merely picked the wrong brand for success. :-) I asked a cash register guy if they were perhaps going to add Tesla “EV” chargers and he pointed me to the...

In a few places, Tesla has installed Superchargers that are in restricted space for themselves - in service centers, at the Gigafactories, ... but I'm not aware of Tesla providing Superchargers for any third party's benefit (this rule possibly bent in Europe/Netherlands for an early nosecone...

This location rents Tesla Model 3 for $95/day: https://www.lanaicarrental.com/ Their stock photo shows a white one. I don’t know if there are others. I don’t know if this is a Larry Ellison company. There are other rental companies as well. Correction on a previous message: my wife says the...

I’m skeptical about limiting access on the destination chargers by VIN. The charging area was in a public area. No signs limiting access. Likewise the chargers at the 2 hotels. I’ve never seen a charger in a hotel or parking lot elsewhere saying that charging is free (or not) and I don’t see why...

Right, and note that most of the chargers on location are destination chargers, which I think we know don’t do any VIN check. The island has a population of about 3100 and many people have their own vehicle. There is no restriction on getting vehicles here, but getting real estate is very hard...

I’m on Lanai today, and found this Supercharger location. It is mostly destination chargers, plus 4 Urban chargers. My count might be off, but I tallied 21 on one side, 17 plus 4 Urban on the other. Please check my tally. No indication when, but this location has been up and online for some...

I’m there now. Nothing but a grassy lot between Lowe’s, Raising Canes and a bank. Appearance much the same as the photos above, except the grass is longer and the papaya trees a bit larger, so nothing visual to post. I see that some new CCS chargers are about to go online around the corner in a...

Thumbs up for checking on this. Hawaii has different needs for Tesla charging vs anywhere else in the world that I’ve been. The lack of chargers, and lack of support at the chargers (rest rooms, food…) means reduced interest in Tesla rentals. I was on Kauai last week, Maui this week, and I have...

I hope I’m not too late to the party. Somehow I got 180 pages behind, and decided that the message value here was worth catching up by reading every durned message rather than doing the “skip” option… PREDICTION A crime will be committed this year using a unique feature of the Tesla product...

I may be wrong here, and somebody correct me if so, but isn’t the Berlin Gigafactory 100% unionized? I thought they were according to German law. If this is the case, there’s no need for conjuring hypotheticals and doing straw man scenarios. On a related point, Scandinavia is right next door...

We could have a pool. Prize would be the same cuddly toy he doesn’t award for the ship location sweepstakes. I’ll take Friday Jan 5 07:30 GMT on the over/under. I forgot, who posted bail for him last time?

He usually takes the end of the quarter off. Hopefully he’ll return early in January with some good news about a new wine from Spain or a chalet in Switzerland.
