As one of the first Model S buyers, that's indeed what they did to Signature reservation holders. Signature reservations were $40k, regular reservations were $5k. The only thing Signature reservation holders got different was the option for Signature Red paint and white interior....and the...

That's more than some of the indexed funds. Lol.

I have a guy that worked at Auto Concierge @ Ala Moana, but went out on his own. He'll even do the work at your garage. Gabs 808-386-3031. He did my car, and it looks like new (now almost 7 years old). He does good work.

How do you think this new location affects the present locations like the one in High Land Park? I would assume Highland Park still would do the majority of service from cars in Wisconsin and of course North Chicago area.

His name is Gabriel (808-386-3031) and his company is called OCDetail. OCD - obsessive compulsive disorder. Very good condition to have in the car detailing business! Good guy and trustworthy. He's a one man operation, but does a good job.

I found a guy who was working at the detailer at Ala Moana, but he went independent. Hard worker and really obsessed with doing a good job. He's been detailing my car...he's willing to do it at my business or at my residence. I've liked his work so I had him apply SB3 Coating (nano ceramic...

Do you think this has any bearing on the Tempe location? Seems like the Tempe location is not a sales center, but service only. Any chance of Tempe disappearing altogether?

Any opinions on the Wexford, PA service center? Is it a good/convenient location?

How do you possibly see it playing out?

What strobes said - shows 4 weeks for delivery, but I think it is standard language.

I checked yesterday and able to design, but I'll wait for 220 mile version. Don't need 310 miles of range for $9k.

A couple of weeks ago I asked a local Tesla employee who has a Model 3 reservation if he has heard anything about configuration. Answer was no.

Emails are only for people that are ready to configure. If you want an estimate just log into your Tesla Motors account (My Tesla) and somewhere there is place to click on an estimator.

• Drive the kids to school and activities, and pick them up. • Drive the elderly people (some of them are 80+ years old) in my life around. • Pick me up when I've had a drink or two. • Maybe put it in the Tesla Network for some of the day. • Drop me off somewhere where finding parking is difficult.

Probably nothing. You need the software to make it autonomous. Hardware alone does not make a car autonomous.

I reserved two Model 3s for the hell of it. Really only intend on using one of the reservations, but with the potential of autonomous cars and the Tesla Network, maybe I might buy the 2nd reservation and put the car in the Tesla Network...or maybe use it to help drive my 80+ year old father in...

Airfares are not cheap!

I feel sorry for whoever works in Tesla's PR or complaint department. As most of us on this Hawaii forum are current Tesla owners, we already know to a certain degree how Tesla operates. I see on the general board many non Tesla owners fretting that they put their reservation in, see the...

Akiki, I think I read somewhere that the reservations will be timed from how much time after the particular Tesla store opened. So let's say my reservation went in at 9:15am HST = 12:15pm PST. My reservation was 15 minutes after the Hawaii Tesla store opened. So it will be in the same range...

Wondering where Hawaii fits in the production queue. Tesla employees first then West Coast Tesla owners and then West Coast non owners. I'm assuming Hawaii is included in West Coast, because it certainly isn't Midwest or East Coast (and I doubt we are in the last category: Pacific). However...

I have to give Tesla props. I went to the X reveal in October and it was a zoo. So many people (in the thousands)...many of them were poorly behaved (e.g. like the guy who was yelling "no pushing," yet he totally pushed his way in line and cut in front of a bunch of people)...I wanted to punch...

Just got the invite for Model 3 reveal. "We're excited to share details of the Model 3 prototype unveiling at an intimate event in Los Angeles, CA for less than 800 people. We want to share this with Tesla owners first, as a token of our appreciation for your support over the years. We've...

What will get people really bent out of shape is if Tesla starts taking Model 3 orders at the event. Then the complaints will be flying.

Well I guess that decides it for me. No registration, but maybe I can stop by in the afternoon.

I would like to attend, but can only make it from 2pm on. Is it worth it to show up for two hours?

Since my son wanted to leave, I forgot to thank you nanimac for keeping me posted and organizing the drive around. Thank you.

Do you know what route you are going to drive? I can't make it at noon, but I might be able to meet up somewhere along the route after 1:30pm.

Borrowed a Leaf for a quick errand. Came back and left the car. I remembered to push the button on the fob to lock the door. A couple of hours later my brother-in-law comes into the house and said, "who left the Leaf on?" Didn't realize that I had to push a button to turn the dang thing off...

Too bad we can't use the Tesla to provide our houses electricity if HECO should go down. The battery could provide a few days worth of electricity if used sparingly.

Unfortunately, other than the waiting room, you can't take pictures on the tour, unless they have changed their policy.

Glad I'm not the only one StephenM and drtko147. I thought I might be turning into a rusty old curmudgeon.

Yesterday I was waiting at a stop light and a big 'ol Harley pulls up alongside me. The engine was rumbling loudly. It was shaking my car a little bit. And it just ANNOYED me. Unfortunately we were in traffic so I had to put up with this noise pollution and vibration for a good half mile...

Sorry to hear about your tires StephenM, but this should be good warning for those that have 21" tires. You should count on replacing them every 12,000 miles or less. At 9,500 miles, my 21 inchers were only a fraction of an inch over the minimum allowable tread depth. It cost me $1,700 to buy...

FYI, the safety inspection sticker design changed. I recently had my car inspected, and the new sticker is different from the old sticker. Maybe if I get a chance I'll post a pic.

Here is my 2¢. I'm originally of the thought that there would never be a supercharger in Hawaii, and for the foreseeable future I don't see that changing. However, I could see it changing in the future under the right circumstances. If Gen III comes on line and is a hit, Hawaii could get a...

Saw a new Model S (black if I recall correctly…sometimes hard to distinguish between black/blue/green) pulled over on the side of the Ala Wai near Kapahulu this morning. Unfortunately it was getting a ticket from a police officer. Don't police officers know that in addition to free parking in...

Thanks nanimac for sharing the article!

I couldn't read the whole article because I'm not subscribed to their site. Anything interesting in the article?

It does. My 11'2" board hung out the rear by about 6" when I reclined the front seat and folded down the rear seats. So a 9'6" should fit in the car. Otherwise roof rack with panoramic roof is the way to go.

Today my Tesla is officially one year old, and I just had my one year service performed. I have 9,500 miles on the car and I had to replace my 21” tires which were down to 3/32” (back) and 5.5/32” (front) on the treads. The minimum allowable tread depth is 2/32”. It cost me $1,700 to get...

Went to plug in at the Aina Haina Shopping Center chargers. They give you 5 minutes free. You need an Opconnect card or credit card to operate it longer than 5 minutes. I tried to swipe my Opconnect card, but I'm guessing since I didn't give Opconnect any payment information when I signed up...

Been on two tours - once in October 2011 (before production) and once this past July. Things have changed a lot between the two times I visited. FYI, they usually don't let kids on the tour, but somehow my two boys were able to go and they loved it. When I went this past July they were...

I paid about $350 in Hawaii.

Thanks Akiki, but I'm just going to park it and not worry about it. I don't want to go on a trip and worry about my car every single minute. I'll monitor the battery usage with the app when I'm bored. Other than that I don't want to know while on my trip. I'd rather just wait until I get...

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll be gone for 13 days. So I think it should be safe. I have an 85kwh pack so that's about 130 miles of drain (~10 miles/day). So I'll theoretically have 100 miles of range left after that. Any issues with safety parking at the airport for that period of...

As I understand it, one can park an electric car at the airport for free with no time limit. Is that correct? 15 days? 30 days? A year? The only limitation on how long one can park a car at the airport structure would be how long the vampire drain would take to empty the battery pack...
