    Tesla Wall Charger Installation - Need Electrician Recommendations

    Just bumping this thread to see if anyone has updated recommendations for electricians for Tesla work. I think it's finally time to bite the bullet and do the wall connector and service upgrade for my home. I tried reaching out to Creative Energy, but they were non-responsive.

    Powerwall Companion - updated Windows app

    Sorry if this was already asked and answered somewhere, but I DL'd the app from the MS Store page (btw, your original link in Post #1 doesn't work), installed it and got an "Additional Download Required" page: I DL'd the linked file, ran it, and got this message: Help! I'm using a Windows...

    Netzero App

    TL; DR: It was that way originally, but the technician came back out after a month and changed it because of the utility's tariff code. My 5.25kW Enphase system was installed first in 2014 on my utility's NEM tariff and allowed to 100% feed the grid. When the time came to install my Tesla 2x...

    Netzero App

    Unfortunately, due to ridiculous utility regulations in my location, I have two separate systems. The tesla gateway cannot and does not measure production and data from my enphase PV system, only the PW and separate array of panels that are dedicated to it. Hence the request to use my utility...

    Netzero App

    Just discovered this app and can't wait to try it out. I skimmed through the 7 pages of posts, so sorry if this was asked & answered earlier. Is there any integration or ability to upload "Green Button" data of my smart meter usage from my utility? I'm still on the hunt for an app or...

    FSD 12.3.3 in Hawaii

    T Haven't had a 4-way on v12 yet, but on previous v11, FSD would perform "ok" if there were no other cars at the stop. If it saw a car at the stop, it was way too conservative in how it responded on a straight path.

    FSD 12.3.3 in Hawaii

    Just got an update last night from 12.3.3 to 12.3.4. Prior to this it was slowly getting better at driving through Paiko without FSD and driving visualization degrading and my dashcam staying connected. I hope this update doesn't make it reset or lose that progress. Other than the lone issue...

    FSD 12.3.3 in Hawaii

    It's not directly related to FSD driving, but my center console USB ports functionality "degraded" since I received the 12.3 update. Prior to the update, I had my wireless charging pad (2 USB-A cords), along with my Raspberry Pi (for Teslausb), game controller dongle and a portable air...

    FSD 12.3.3 in Hawaii

    On Kalanianaole Hwy, just after Kuliouou as you approach Niu Valley going ewa. The SC had my car for a few days to troubleshoot the issue and they concluded it's "software issue that will be fixed in a future update". It's amazingly consistent - I can almost predict within 10-20 feet exactly...

    FSD 12.3.3 in Hawaii

    I'm on 12.3 and it was initially great, but it still has the same problem I've had since last year where FSD driving visualization is "degraded" at the same spot along my morning drive, thereby making even basic autopilot unavailable for the rest of the drive until the car goes to sleep. FSD...

    First Powershare home installation

    If your existing charger circuit is not behind the GW & PW, you should be able to find a local electrician to re-route the circuit back onto your main panel for minimal cost, depending on how far apart your panels are. Hopefully you have capacity on your panel.

    First Powershare home installation

    Thank you for this. I've got a FS CT on order and the same system (2 PW2 + v1 Gateway) and I was concerned that I would need the "3V Gateway". Tesla should be clearer in their communication and/or have a FAQ that explains this.

    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    In the Powershare Home Backup survey, do you recall if it asked what type of gateway you have? Reason I'm asking is I have a v1 Gateway (the plain grey box one) with v2 Powerwalls. I'm wondering if the v1 Gateway is functionally any different for PowerShare purposes. Has anyone found any...

    Cybertrucks in Hawaii

    I don't know if I'm the first in the TMC Hawaii group, but I placed my CT AWD FS order yesterday, March 21st. I received my invite email on Monday the 18th, but I didn't see it until yesterday. I originally reserved on 11/24/19. I don't recall seeing a delivery window timeframe when I placed...

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    The Kahala markets itself as a high-end, luxury property, like Four Seasons, whose clientele would desire exclusive airport transfer/ shuttle services and vehicle rentals from a concierge desk instead of from rental car companies. $0.51/kwh for energy plus parking is a lot for local residents...

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    The hotel used to have two Level 2 chargers in the basement parking level that were energy charge-free, but within the self-parking area so normal parking fees applied. I used them whenever I would go to events or dinner at the hotel. (I believe they were on the now defunct Semaconnect...

    Hawaii - Auto Insurance

    Let's hope the CT is not outrageous. Perhaps Tesla Insurance will be available in Hawaii soon to add a layer of competition to the local insurance marketplace.

    First insurance? Not sure what your budget and situation is, but when I had a 3 from 2018-2020 I think I was paying around $900/yr.

    Cybertruck - Post Launch Reactions

    Now that the Cybertruck launch event has occurred, I thought it might be good to start a Hawaii specific thread on reactions, who's keeping their reservations, what trim level, etc. For me, I placed my reservation the weekend after the initial introduction event in 2019. I initially had a dual...

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    I stand corrected then regarding the Kahala, but the physical layout of where the superchargers make me wonder if it'll be valet only? There's no way to get to the top floor of the garage where the SC are from the self-parking lot.

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    I still say this is going to be hotel-use only for a fleet of teslas for hotel guest use only. The Four Seasons Lanai and Maui already have a similar program in place for their guests and the chargers they installed for those vehicles are not available to the public to use. The fact that you...

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    I still think the Kahala supercharger(s) are part of a planned hotel "fleet" of Teslas that will be available for hotel guest rental/use and not the general public. The hotel's investment in the infrastructure necessary for this doesn't make sense any other way. Don't count on having public...

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    This is likely to support a Tesla "rental" fleet that the hotel is going to acquire for hotel guests to use, similar to Four Seasons. There's no other way that the investment by the hotel would make sense financially. The fact that you have to be a hotel guest and/or valet the car makes it...

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    I passed by yesterday. It's still very early stages - the contractor on site is still doing preliminary trenching and grading work. Based solely on the trenches and what I could see in the garage, it's possible that a few of the stations could be outside the garage. Another possibility is the...

    Supercharger - Honolulu, HI - Kahala Resort (12 stalls)

    I'm frequently in the area. I'll see what I can see. :cool: But realistically, I can't see a hotel like the Kahala allowing anyone other than hotel guests or restaurant patrons free use of the chargers. As is, the hotel already has free J1772 chargers in the "basement" parking garage that...

    Superchargers in Hawaii (location speculation, general discussion)

    Interesting, but my guess it's installation of destination chargers in their parking garage. It'll be great if you're going to Hoku's, Arancino or Plumeria Beach House. Perhaps Kahala hotel is following Lanai resorts and going to have a Model X/S fleet for hotel use. I'm assuming that if it's...

    Smartphone as Game Controller? Sonic the Hedgehog!

    Same problem - my XBox One controller doesn't work with Sonic, but works fine with all the other games. Restart fixed it the first time, but a 2nd restart on a different day didn't. Argh!

    Jeda Hub for Model Y

    Same here. I haven't been following this thread, but I'm not surprised that they're still up to their same nonsense as when they made the first wireless charging pad. They're extremely deceptive and have poor business practices. I would have thought that with the implementation of the...

    Moving to, bring Model 3?, EV charging in Honolulu?

    If you're renting in an apartment building/condo, don't expect to be able to access any charging at home. Although you had a creative way of charging in MA, that won't go over well here, even if it was possible. The overwhelming majority of condos/apartments here lack any power or charging...

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    It's a known issue. Something Tesla changed recently is causing a problem with TeslaUSB. Two-button reset of the screen works to temporarily resolve the issue, but it'll return again in a random period of time.

    Model Y's in Hawaii

    The air is not really a concern for the paint. The bigger issue is our crappy roads here and all the rock chips and debris that your front end will need protection from. Check out Xero Wraps - they did great work on a full body wrap for my Y.

    Mattel announces a Hot Wheels-branded remote-controlled Tesla Cybertruck

    I ordered 2 of the 1:64 models and 1 of the 1:10. One of my 1:64 orders arrived, but the 2nd was "lost" in transit and now Mattel is telling me I can either wait to see if they come back in stock or get a refund. The 1:10 is on its way to me and is going on eBay.

    Supercharger - Aiea, HI (6 stalls)

    I wonder if it will be a v3 or the "city" style charger. Either way good news all around. I'll start the guess for the opening date - Spring 2022, just in time for us to hold a launch party for the CT there.

    Superchargers in Hawaii (location speculation, general discussion)

    Are you staying in a hotel or an Air BNB? If it's an AirBNB, check with the renter if you have access to a garage and permission to use a plug in the garage (assuming there's one available). At standard 110V charging, the Model 3/Y will charge 5 mi/hr. Assuming between evening and overnight...

    Tesla Service Big Island

    I don't have any direct knowledge, but I know the local service center folks used to fly out to the neighbor islands with parts for repairs. In general, if the repairs are covered by warranty, I would think that Tesla would cover the repairs, either by coming to you, or (if it was serious...
