Black model S being towed I saw a black model S being flat bedded off the H1 close to the kaimuki exit. Hope everything was ok. ANyone know what happened to the car and shy it needed to be towed?

Hey who was following me home the other night? Wednesday night with the lighted T going east and up halekoa? Was that you DrTKO?

I'm so bummed I couldnt make it either. I'll try and make the next meet up!

This is what I got on my service papers. Its what they told me in person too. Just wondering if any other Ds got this service notice. Thanks Concern: Perform Proactive Updated Right Side Front Motor Mount Installation. Pay Type: Warranty Corrections: Upgrade Front RH Motor Mount, Adjust LH...

Im going t get my car today I'll post later on the outcome.

Hi, I got a call yesterday to bring in my p85d to pro-actively change a motor mount. Anyone else have this notice or know what the scoop is on the problem? The car seemed to be driving fine. Thanks

sounds like fun! Im excited to meet you guys in person. I'll bring my rocket. :)

Yes, totally agree, I was amazed on the difference in finishes of the s and the roadster. The MS has come a long long way. Very excited to see where tesla is in 5-6 years!

another thumbs up for the service center here in Hawaii. I needed the passenger side window replaced and the car tinted. Jimmy sent a loaner to myt office and picked up my car. Hopefully they will be done by today. But I got to drive this till then! Super fun, was suprosed at how rough and...

thanks!

Hi guys, I downloaded the 6.1 last week with the active cruise control, music shuffle etc. I just got another notification that a newer download was ready to go, did anyone else get this? Wondering what its adding to the car. Is it the active steering? Thanks!

both sats are good for me too. Although I wont be able to stay for very long.

I got the 6.1 update! I was using the new cruise control to work yesterday and today. TIs pretty cool, but a little scary. It slows down pretty late compared to what I would while driving. Dont know if I'll use it a lot. One great feature on the ne updates is shuffle on music, both usb and...

Any time Spleen! We'll get together with Tony and go for a ride!

Hi all, First of all thank you all for the support and kind words while I was waiting for my car. Ok, so I arrived there at !:00 and was surprised at all the little extras they present you with, hats scarves water bottles key chains etc. Felipe, did my delivery and was very nice and walked me...

First song will be black magic woman by santana! MS name...I'll have to think about that! Thanks for the support!

Ok Akikiki, You were right, its now just over 24 hours and I am chomping at the bit. Car is there at the SC and I cant go until tomorrow. I'm am considering starting the walk to Waipahu. The last time I felt like this was waiting for the birth of my kids, no this is worse. :) On another note...

North Shore, I dont know how your car got here before mine! Two days and counting!

Thanks Misaki, 3 days and counting!

Pick up for me is Thursday, maybe I'll be first to drive one. :) I confirmed my order on 10-11-14. I wish it was mine at the SC! Can't wait!

This is a modern form of torture. I have my delivery date set for 1-8 at 130pm. 244 hours and 20 mins, but who counting. :)

I went down to the SC yesterday to see if they had a NEMA 6-50 adapter and was shocked to see how many model S's there were! I guess a lot of people got late christmas gifts!

happy holidays to all!

No ways a normal ice car can idle for 48 hours on 16 gallons. I'd estimate about an hour a gallon tops for a small 4 cylinder car.

Hello, I got a copy of my MSO (manufacture State of Origin) from Tesla and it says 738 HP. I thought it was 691. Just wondering if that was a typo or some other way to measure the HP. Thanks and Happy Holidays

I wished it was a black D! DS told me 1-8 to 1-10 delivery. This is gonna be a slow two weeks!

Love the UH sticker on the back! Maybe June Jones will take over and we'll have a better season than last. Unless you all are Norm Chow fans, then I take it back. :) Happy Holidays!

You really gotta stop typing your thoughts out loud. :)

Akikiki, are you implying I'm driving a glorified golf cart!? :) Thats funny cause I used to tell my wife it was the worlds fastest golf cart! TKO, I know I hate people driving slow in the left lane too. Must be from my years of driving on the mainland! I remember a semi coming up on me in...

Ahh must have been you TKO, Green lighted T 6:55 this am in the rain. I tried to follow you but my little leaf couldnt keep up. I have to drive like a granny now to make it to Wahiawa and back. But not for long!

G's in hawaii, did you pick up a P85D? I'm also curious to as what seat you ordered and if you ordered the NG seats if it was installed. On another note, I saw a nice Tesla on the freeway this morning coming from Kahala area to the Ft Shafter exit, lighted T installed too! A few more weeks...

Thanks Masaki, I didnt know that HECO rates the energy produced by PV systems. I'm gonna apply for the TOU on monday. I heard the program was extended until oct 2015, hopefully longer.

DrTKO, do you have net metering or you sell your power back to HECO? If I have net metering and I produce say 100Kwh in 30 days, and I use 100Kwh in that same 30 days why would it matter when I use my electricity? Am I misunderstanding something? I'm assuming if I use more than I produce in...

That is a hilarious statement! I was laughing out loud. I'll try and do a little more research with HECO. BTW when I start discussing this with my wife she tells me if I wanted to save money I'd keep my leaf. :)

I did read the other HECO thread on TOU and EV's but had a question. We have a PV system now that just about covers our electricity bill every month, this includes my Leaf that I charge fully every night. I'm currently putting in about 20Kwh a day into the leaf. Most months our bill is just...

Thanks Akikiki! I need this support group. :)

bummers, just got this email from Tesla. Hi Ross, Your Model S just missed the ship this week. It will be on the next boat over and I am estimating it will be ready for delivery between January 8th and 10th. The team is working on recreating your final paperwork now. They are a little...

thanks North Shore, I emailed her today asking if the cars got on the ship. Ill post if she answers. Thanks for the horizon link!

North Shore, Did you hear from Catherine if our cars made it on the ship yesterday? She told me earlier if it made the ship delivery would be in about 11 days after it left. Otherwise it wont be till Jan first or second week. Thanks!

Careful Akikiki, you are showing your age! You sound like my father telling me how he walked to shool in snow...up hill. Just kidding! I admit I'm glad we got it way easier than the first early adpoters. I thought I was pretty patient, but this wait is getting harder. G's in Hawaii, were...

North Shore, Thats great news, I really hope our cars get on the ship tomorrow! I was hoping the next gen seats would be installed, thats a little crazy that they will pull the old seats and install the new ones here later. I wonder what theyll do with the old seats? It would be so great if...

Just an update to anyone else wondering where their car is. I just got off phone with DS and she said cars are still in CA and are in the last stage of prep from the factory. They are trying to get the cars on the ship this wed. If it misses the boat, delivery wont happen until first or second...

Thats great news!

Aw I just checked my site too and it says January. Darn was hoping to see it in my garage with a big red bow on it. I wish I could get a more accurate delivery date so I could plan ahead! R

I was wondering where I stood in the time line of delivery. I just got the docu sign email today and e-signed it. Unfortunately mine still has go across the Pacific to Hawaii. My DS said it depends on what ship it gets on. When did everyones else docu sign get sent? thanks!

I just got off phone with Catherine, she told me that I could make final payment when I pick up car. She also told me there was a delay in production and shipping and she thinks there is a possibility that delivery wont be in dec. I did not get an email about having to pay for the car before...

LOL, I can just imagine going down to the SC and them telling me sorry we sold your car. Heres your 2500 back! I just called and emailed my DS today so I wait a day or two to see what she has to say. I'll let you guys know what she tells me. BTW did everyone work with Catherine Shelburn as...

Thats exactly what I was thinking too. I'll try get a more accurate date before I send in the money.

Hi Guys, I just got an email from Tesla, and my tesla page changed to accept payment. Do I send the payment now? Or can I wait till I go down to pick up the car with a check. I feel a little funny about sending so much money with no car in hand, or is it the way its done? What was everyone...

Thanks for the replys, Ill have to think it over to see its something we want, normally we are the type of people to never buy the service or extended warranty on things like appliances etc, but this is one expensive dishwasher. Yes DrTKO! lets meet up at rec center for sure after I get my car!
