    Hawaii Tesla Owners

    I hadn't planned on going, but, since I missed the NON St. Patty's day drive around the island (done it several times because I like driving my car so much!!!), I would gladly attend so we could have the whole lineup in the lot! PS Anyone heard that Detroit Electric plans on coming back...

    The honeydo list that got started in 1982 was rediscovered by the GM of my domicile, and has suddenly came due; tomorrow! I should be out on furlough again by next week Sat, if the dmsith guy can keep his koickersoutofabunch... PS Thanks for the link and stuff(s)! I waited a long time for this...

    I saw a note on that same service plan, but Barry knows nothing of it. As for safety, I had to get mine from the service guy I have used for 20 years. He laughed the whole time as he went down the list and said "not applicable" again and again. The process was a little bit of a hassle, but was...

    Out of curiosity; What "walk through video" are you referring to? I am close to 4000 miles on my Sig now, and still learning. Every once in a while I drop in and Barry and ask questions. He is a huge help. I got a manual just a month or so back. I am also waiting to hear what the service...

    It's ironic that we are talking about Better Place shutting service on the Tesla owners website. Aikiki, trust me, your PV, TOU, twin chargers and 65KW battery will mean that you won't need to have range anxiety when you leave home. I charged on Monday PM. I still have 80 miles left. I live in...

    Aikiki, I also have 100A service. I installed a NEMA 14 40. I have a Sig S, which includes the twin chargers. I charge between 9P and 5A and get more than 200 miles of charge when I do. I use a TOU with HECO and run PV during the day (I run my business from my home). I have no problem with the...

    That is the same experience I have had. I called them and was told it was supposed to increase when the sites were "fully operational (in other words, pay per use I am guessing). Fair enough.

    Akikiki My $350 was cheap because the conduit run is less than 8" from the subpanel in my garage. I had 2 open slots in my breaker box, so the job was really simple. I should have stated as much, but my point was more so that the $1200(+) chargers don't make sense to me. For a few hundred...

    The app is neat, but rudimentary. It will allow us to; honk the horn flash the lights lock/ unlock the car check battery levels check car locationcheck/set temperature It does not allow us to schedule charging start or end times. There is a much lonmger list on the app wish list on the main...

    I have been hand washing my car, and learning about it as I go. I was surprised at how nuanced the experience was. Behind the handles, inside and rim of trunk and frunk and inside of every door are hard to keep clean and spot free. If any of you find a decent place to use, I would also like to...

    Nice to meet you nanimac. I live on the Winward side, but really enjoy the trips to town now!

    Service guy's name is Barry Abe. Don't have an address yet but I will call him and ask. I suspect he will be a ranger initially, working out of the Kaimuki area.

    Sorry I've been holo holo for a while. Dang car sat in the garage so long I got morose. Been driving, a lot (too fast too!). So, as you can see, it is fixed. The guy coming to the islands, on Wednesday, Barry, is spot on! As I have said, so many wanting to do so much; so much to do though! He...

    Thanks for all the notes. I agree on a sense of humor; enough people are trying to ruin our day, so why contribute, right? And, the folks I have talked to may have been befuddled, or slow to respond, but they have all cared about what they do, to the credit of the company. I too am worried...

    Power drain while idle (Vampire Load)

    We don't have a ranger here. Yes, they did tell me to jump the car. I asked more than once and in more than one way so as to ascertain that they DID want me to jump the car, because I was reluctant to do so (I don’t jump my ICE… I use AAA for that). I was subsequently told where and how to...

    Power drain while idle (Vampire Load)

    dsm. My wife unplugged it to plug in her car vacuum. She forgot to plug it back in; that is the "paul Harvey" version... Nigel Yup, the whole experience was really astonishing. However, the built in solutions, though apparently not well understood by end service personnel (ever had an engineer...

    Thanks for the notes. I hope I can adopt a more constructive tone in my criticism/advice to others. I agree that the explanation on the battery was strange and almost unbelievable. In fact, on my call, I think I said as much. Since the team may be listening; 1. You have some very strong...

    FYI I learned the hard way about something called "vampire loads". I left the car in my garage for 4 days, unplugged, with 50 miles of charge on it. I returned home to an unresponsive car. I called the service center. They had no ideas. I e-mailed my specialist and did not get a reply. I...
