I’m sure that most of us who are active on here would have already suspected this, but according to this article from Electrek, Hawaii is the worst state in the U.S. for EV charging (based upon the ratio of electric vehicles to charging points). Speaking from my own observations, we haven’t had...

I’ve been a Model S owner for nearly 7 years, and I’m stumped on the problem I’m having now. In my 2019 Model S, both key fobs started generating the “key fob low battery” warning on the same day. I did a MCU reboot with no change. I then replaced the battery in one fob, with no effect - the...

Last night, I charged to 90%, or so I thought. I'm on 2019.8.5 and I had the charging limit set to 90%. I received the notification that charging was complete at 294 rated miles around 2 am, but I was sleeping. I unplugged at 6 am without checking the range, but when I got in the car to leave...

I've posted several times on the Model S thread regarding the number of regen miles and energy gained during the drive down from the summit of Haleakala here on Maui, but I did something slightly different this time with our LR Model 3. My goal was to see how far I could go after getting to the...

I realize that there is already a thread for the eventual Honolulu Supercharger, but I'm creating this thread anyway - especially since Tesla only has 3 Hawaii Superchargers on the "schedule". When Tesla first announced the 3 planned Supercharges for us here in Hawaii (2 on Oahu, 1 on Maui)...

I've owned my classic Model S 85 for nearly 5 years now (March '14 delivery), and still love my car. I know that a lot of early owners have upgraded to newer models, with AP and Dual Motor being two significant factors. I'm curious how many early owners still have their original Model S. In...

With Tesla announcing today their new "Urban Supercharger", with the first two on-line stations in Chicago and Boston, I'm hoping that somebody on the forum will post what the taper is for their particular model. What I'm really wondering, since Tesla is saying that they are a dedicated 72 kWh...

Many thanks to @crikescrikes for organizing a Maui owners drive up Haleakala yesterday, January 7, 2017. He coordinated filming that should turn out pretty cool, but my girlfriend and I got some decent photos, so I'm creating this thread and posting them here. Many thanks as well to John...

I've posted a few times about how much regenerative energy I get in my Model S when I descend Haleakala here on Maui, but today I gained a bit more than normal. During the 35 mile drive from the summit (10,000 feet elevation) to the point where the road essentially flattens out (about 100 feet...

I was at the top of Haleakala here on Maui earlier today, and when I got home, I realized that there are probably very few Model S owners that would be able to realize such a scenario. For the 50+ mile drive down from the top to where I live in Kihei, my average wh/m was -104. 10,000 feet of...

Before I decided to buy my Model S, my biggest question was "How am I going to charge it?". This because I live in a 2nd floor condo with no garage and my parking spaces being on the opposite side of the parking lot from my condo's actual location. When my good friend, whose parking spaces are...

"The Road to Hana" gets most of the publicity here on Maui, but as far as I'm concerned, "The Road to Haleakala Crater" is a lot more fun for Model S owners. As part of testing my LTE upgrade in my "Classic" Model S, I did the drive on Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 to test out the map loading and...

Hello, fellow Hawaii Model S owners! I'm getting the LTE upgrade installed this very moment on Maui (ranger install), and was told I'm the first here in Hawaii to get it. I'll try to relate the improvements I observe in this thread. Anyone else thinking about it?

I live on Maui, but just finished a long work assignment in Albuquerque, NM, with the good fortune of being able to have my Model S with me. The downside to the entire experience has been the long wait for my car to be shipped back to me, as no rental car comes close to filling the void. My...
