    Cybertruck Poll

    But on further reflection - I might get one to recharge my S... At least it would have been cooler if it looked like this

    Cybertruck Poll

    I kept hoping this was just a teaser. Elon needed a few hits off that joint to loosen up a bit - so awkward. Huge fail on the windows... did he think of testing that first?

    How many bring your dog in the car?

    It wouldn’t be doggie mode without Elvis. Dog is my copilot!

    Dead model S

    my wife’s 2014 model S died yesterday. She parked it in the garage and plugged in - next morning the car got stuck on “powering up” . Numerous reboots to no avail. 24 hours later still “powering up.” Tesla mobile service tried everything - still unable to move the car. Looks like the cars...

    Don’t use suction cup devices on the piano black

    Great Car - Crappy Company

    I would have to agree. I have a 2014 S and a 2017 S, both great cars. However, I have sold all my shares in the company because Elon is a terrible business manager. He has managed to alienate all his employees, even those who were devoted to the Tesla mission. Impossible performance metrics...

    Model 3 Accident, Is this car really safe to drive?

    Quite aside from the airbag question and with all due respect, your medical issue makes it apparent that you should not be driving this or any vehicle. The cause of the incident was not the Tesla - Best regards.

    Model 3 Gripes 2 Months later

    I love it when folks buy the economy version, then complain about minor issues.

    Contact information and introductions

    Are there many Tesla's at the Cars and Coffee? Perhaps we need to get the Tesla club to show up and lead the Luddites out of the ICE age (Infernal Combustion Engine)

    Carmageddon, Hawaii style

    Personally, I'm waiting for part two of rail , when they declare eminent domaine and start confiscating property to run a line from Ala to UH. That will be ugly! That said, I've lived in towns with populations of 10-15 million - Bangkok, Hong Kong, Beijing - some form of mass transit is...

    Opti-Coat Installation

    We paid a visit to Shea's yesterday. "Sasha Fierce" is now wearing a G Techniq coat. Looks great! If the photo comes thru, there appears to be a swirl on the hood - that's actually a reflection from the clouds overhead.:smile:

    Opti-Coat Installation

    Spoke with Shea's on 11 Oct2014. Opti coat is no more. No longer lifetime guarentee - has tripled in price. Other options?

    Hawaii - Firmware Updates

    Lol! What's the point of being an Early Adopter if you can't enjoy the bugs? If I wanted all the bugs worked out I'd drive a model T.

    Hawaii - Firmware Updates

    We just picked up our S85 on Monday. Finally. It's still on version 5.14, but then I just figured out how to connect it to my house wifi so maybe it will update soon. On the bright side, the iPhone iOS 8.0 Tesla app does let you start and drive the car without a key fob. Wish there was a...

    Tesla Marketing ideas

    I wonder if we could get the local Solar City Office to come up with a portable solar collector for those car shows - "I'm driving on Sunshine"

    Front license plate options

    What is the general opinion on the mounting for the front license plate? I notice from the photos there seem to be three options : a) drill five holes in the nose cone b) zip tie thru front grill or c) skirt the law and run sans front plate?

    MB Club - Hawaii invites Tesla Owners to Oktoberfest Event 25 Oct

    I was looking at the Promotional Photo - all the car owners with their hoods up - I'm planning on bringing a nice Picnic basket to put in my Frunk to show the ICE agers a better use for all that space used by a greasy engine! Aloha

    Tesla Marketing ideas

    I'm amazed at how many people still have never heard of Tesla. Thinking that Tesla doesn't do much direct marketing, maybe us Tesla Fans (from the word fanatic) should start our own guerrilla marketing campaign. Personally, I'm for putting a flyer on Nissan Leafs saying "Electric Vehicles...

    Hawaii Safety Check Sticker Placement

    Thanks for the ref to Min Plastics. I stopped by on 03 Sept to pick up the placeholder with the sticker. The current mid they have has the sticker oriented horizontally. One of the guys at the desk noted that placing the sticker sideways was not an option as some places wouldn't even install...

    Hawaii Service Center experience

    I'd give Tesla some credit for the retooling of the line had I not ordered the car during April - 6 months ago!!

    Hawaii Service Center experience

    Well this sucks! Tesla Palo Alto just informed me they have pushed back the delivery of my S from Aug 26 to sometime mid September! That will teach me to pay them money before the thing lands on the docks!

    Hawaii Tesla Owners

    Hah! I used to live in Hawaii Kai during the 70s. My family moved to Maunawili on Kailua side for awhile but we couldn't handle the clouds. So moved to Makaha. Left Hawaii for 20 years (career thing) and bought a place in Ewa - wow, where the sugar cane went?

    Any Hawaii Tesla owners looking to sell their Model S?

    My spouse saw one for sale at the Audi Hawaii dealer on Nimitz Hwy during June 2014, mainland car. Not sure if it's still there, but I hope they have kept it plugged in so it does not brick on them! Good luck

    Hawaii Tesla Owners

    Don't let Waipahu scare you! You can always ride the rail back to Ala Moana Center while you wait! Quite a few Teslas out in Ewa and Kapolei these days - lots of brand new million dollar homes also. Hawaii Kai is so 1970's!
