People who don't live in Hawaii don't understand the challenges of building anything here. Permitting process is tedious and a nightmare and construction costs here are at least 25% higher than on the mainland. It will take just as long, if not longer, to build a supercharger site here as it...

Rail guideway built from Kapolei to Airport and moving to Dillingham. I've seen the trains running for tests a bunch of times. Maybe someday in the next decade, we'll finally be able to ride it. ;)

My estimated delivery is October. I ordered first week of November 2021 to secure the pricing on car and FSD. I'm not in a super rush to get a new X but will be interesting to see if my delivery date gets pushed back to.

If people just obeyed the arrows in the lanes, it wouldn't be an issue. Just waiting now for mall management to complain to Tesla and then take the Superchargers away over petty charger fights because owners can't be adults. 🤦‍♀️

Come on people, we should be grateful we have any. Some of us have been waiting over 7 years!

Upgraded cameras in January.

I've been on FSD Beta for over a year and my driving style has become 95% FSD/AP, 5% manual driving. In the beginning, it was definitely dangerous and you'd have to be extra aware while driving. I'll admit, it was stressful using it back then and the car did do unpredictable things. But...

I only wash my car (at home) when it's really dirty, otherwise I just use a waterless car wash spray. Maybe that's an option for you?

Contact Weedrivetesla.com. They have a fleet of Teslas for rent and can answer any questions.

2017 (July build) 75DX

It's not a distance thing here. There are many owners who live in condos who don't have access to home charging. There just isn't enough public charging here to support significant EV growth. Demand has proven to be strong here as the 6 superchargers are pretty full during the day. Plus, about...

I was on FSD Beta 10.6.1 before the camera update. After update on 1/10, the same FW version got pushed so have been stuck on 10.6.1. Good news is FSD seems better. I hated 10.6.1 before. Not sure if new cams have anything to do with it.

yes. maybe I was the guinea pig for them to figure out upgraded cams were needed. lol

I’m an EAP FSD Beta tester with 2017 MX75D. Have been getting regular updates for over a year now except for 10.3. Had cameras upgraded last week and firmware pushed was 10.6.1 which I already had. Had hoped new cams would keep me getting regular updates but while all the other OG beta testers...

Permit is still open for the 12 chargers. Hope we see them expand to the original site and keep the plug and play site.

That's how they're delivering cars now. Just take a look at the entire car carefully and take lots of pics before you drive it. Report any issues on the app for them to fix. They're pretty good on fixing stuff post delivery.

Just logged in the first W plate! Hope there's at least one Model X that gets an X plate when those come around! If they're out by then.

I ordered one last month with EDD of Oct 2022. I haven’t heard of anyone here getting one yet.

Sorry, our plaid has 19s.

Thanks! Didn't know Chademo doesn't work on the Plaid. Assume that's for the LR refresh too. Hopefully the Tesla CCS Adapter comes out in the US soon.

Where are the DCFC?

SOLD

They've been looking for a while. Was supposed to be this year but maybe that site fell through. Hopefully it will finally happen next year. The mobile techs there must be really busy!

I think it's just the permitting process. DPP is short staffed and permits are at least 2 to 3 months backlogged. From what I hear, it's still moving forward.

Well I don't think the EV plate thing is really enforced with chargers so out of state would probably be ok. Maybe it might be enforced on city/state property? There's a lot of military here so there are a lot of out of state plates (until they get their Hawaii plates). It was more for the...

You also need EV plates for public chargers. I tried to switch to a vanity plate and the DMV lady said I still needed them to use chargers/special EV parking.

Did you get your car out?

Yeah, am going through the service center. Price was better than getting them through Tire Rack and paying for shipping, installation and alignment. Plus, the tires were in stock whereas they were back ordered on Tire Rack.

There is a supercharger somewhere (might be under construction by now) which is most likely not a public one and just for the resorts/Larry Ellison's fleet of Teslas since it doesn't show up on Tesla SC maps.

Hotel fleet. Did you happen to find the supercharger site?

I need new tires for my Model X (22-inch). Anyone have recommendations on tire type/brand, where to buy, and where to install on Oahu besides Tesla? Am ok with ordering on-line too.

Kauai EV is active with getting charger infrastructure on Kauai. It will be a grassroots effort to find a site/property owner who would be willing to install Tesla chargers since Tesla is focused on superchargers for Oahu first, then Maui.

No Plaid S in Hawaii yet. Deliveries just started up again this weekend after the hold. I think we'll see first ones get delivered in August.

I would think that Plaid S would be delivered first and they just released the delivery hold over the weekend. I'm guesstimating September for our Plaid with CF delivery and August for Plaid S with wood interior. But who knows, LR S could come out by September too.

Unless they've changed the policy recently, owners are not allowed to use those chargers as they are for the test drive vehicles. I've seen employees charge their cars there too. They may let you charge if you are extremely low on charge and other chargers in the mall are full.

Spotted my first “T” plate yesterday on a white Model Y! Also heard there are more than 6,400 Teslas in the state so our count is way off with only around 2,700. 😱

Aiona U-Rent Car | Car Rentals | Hilo, HI in hilo has Teslas for rent.

There are a few KauaI club members but the club contact moved to the mainland earlier this year.

Congrats!

Call the Ala Moana store and ask for Maria. She’s the customer experience person so maybe she can check for you.

There are no fees for mobile service. And you won’t get thru to the service center. It’s all app based. If you are on Facebook, there is a big island tesla owners group that can probably answer all your questions.

There is mobile service on the Big Island. If it’s something they can’t fix, Tesla will have the car shipped to Oahu.

Unpaved area at end of Sandys. Road is rough though so drive slow. Also Botanical gardens in Kaneohe, Tantalus viewpoint overlooking city. Can’t think of anywhere with a closer up shot of windmills.

Probably just universal charger to meet requirement. Shopping center is small and owned by Kamehameha Schools. Don't think their beneficiaries would appreciate supporting Tesla super chargers. o_O
