    Lots of Model 3 Newbie Questions- Hawaii

    I just talked to him and he said he does something very similar using a different brand. I don't know too much about Xpel and the like as I prefer vinyl wrap. One thing for sure, the vinyl wrap has spared me from costly paint jobs twice since I bought my X. With my kind of luck, I had my 3...

    Lots of Model 3 Newbie Questions- Hawaii

    I've used Al's Tinting in Aiea to tint and wrap my S, X and 3. Really happy with the quality of his work and his attention to detail. I think his prices are very competitive if not better. One thing he will not do is to tint/wrap outside his shop. He said he prefers to work in a controlled...

    Time running out for Model X 2017 *massive* business-use tax deduction

    @MelaniainLA, so my X was delivered on 9/20 hence I cannot take the 100% deduction which is fine. If I sell my X this year, I understand there is a recapture but if I buy another X, could I take the 100% deduction ? Thanks.

    Protective film on Model 3 ?

    And I thought everything is expensive in Hawaii....Al's Tinting in Aiea, HI has done my S in Pearl White, X in Deep Matte Blue and now my 3 in Matte Red Metallic. They use 3M film. He charges about $ 3500 about to fully wrap any any Tesla.

    Red vs. Blue: Post your best pics and vote

    They use 3M almost exclusively. He did my X in matte blue and I love it.

    I like any color as long as it is matte. Much easier to maintain....

    Let's talk financing rates

    Their promo of 1.99% for 60 months I believe is going up today to 2.24%. I closed on my loan Saturday to lock the 1.99%. I was scheduled for delivery this Thursday anyway so timing was perfect. I asked to be considered for 72 months and they approved it at the same rate. 15% minimum down I...

    Hawaii Model 3

    I configured 2/14, got VIN 010XXX 3/31. I got basic black since I'm planning to get it wrapped by Al's Tinting again. He did a very good job with my S and X. I got the aero wheels.

    Hawaii Model 3

    It seems my 3 was teleported from San Diego to Honolulu! Yesterday my ISA said it's in San Diego and that I will be advised once it's loaded on the boat. Today she called me to let me know it's in Honolulu already. My delivery is next Thursday.

    Hawaii Model 3

    I got my VIN March 31 then an email form the ISA on April 2. I was told yesterday that it's at the port and to expect delivery in 5-7 days after it's loaded on the boat.

    Let's talk financing rates

    They have a long list of employers/organizations eligible for membership (which I don't belong to any of them since I live in Hawaii) but they will accept you if you are an AARP member or belong to another CU. I'm using the latter.

    Let's talk financing rates

    Shopped around for my Model 3 and found Financial Partners CU in Downey CA had the best rates albeit promotional... 1.99% for 60 months and possibly up to 72 months on case by case basis. I applied online and got approval in less than 3 hours. They require at least 15% down.

    Hawaii Model 3

    Yeah, I got confused. For some reason, I thought I paid $ 3000 which was not reflected on the Monroney sticker when I bought my factory S. I guess not. I was using that amount when I was trying to configure my wife's 3. Thanks.

    Model S in Hawaii For Sale

    Aloha All, I am the owner who was almost scammed by this gentleman named Adam Harvey Camp. Long story but I thought I had all the bases covered. He had my Model S for almost a week before I even realized the transaction was reversed. He is only 27 years old. I will post a copy of his DL license...

    Hawaii Model 3

    There were 11 Model 3's at the service center when I picked up my X about 230 today... All of them were either Long Range with Premium Upgrade and most had 19" wheels. I kinda like the 18 Aero's even when the cap was off. Unfortunately, they would not allow pictures. I abided, only because my...

    Got My Beauty Wrapped!!!

    The S is wrapped in Satin Pearl White and the X in Matte Indigo Deep Blue, both 3M brand. I like the way the matte blue came out and it seems to get way more compliments than the satin white. https://i.imgur.com/tJaaBBi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mxcxYM9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kjA6p2V.jpg

    Vinyl license plate sticker

    Just take your license plate to a sign shop and have them scan and print it.. They should be able to do it for much less than that. I'm fortunate to have a good friend in the business. By the way, it is not legal here in Hawaii and I would guess the same goes for most states. My S had a smaller...

    2017.44 - Whats in it?

    Anyone notice that DRIVER/DRIVING are incorrectly spelled after the .44 update? My X got the .44 update a few weeks ago and my S's recent update is to a .42. Is that unusual? I'd like to have the CHILL mode in my S. Grandsons keep getting car sick no mater how careful I drive.

    19” Rims- Honolulu

    Do you still have the rims? If so, would you be willing to let me use it for a couple weeks, for a fee, of course. I decided that I'll just keep my original 19" rims but get it powder coated black as Akikiki suggested early on. Someone loaned me some nice staggered 22's which came off a 2013 S...

    Hawaii (Honolulu) Recommended Window Tinting Shop

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on 19" wheels vs 21' or 22"'s. I suppose it's a matter of practicality or looks. I look at my S now and i am quite happy with the way it looks. I have 18000 miles and probably have that much more left on my tires. I would have replaced my tires already if I...

    Hawaii (Honolulu) Recommended Window Tinting Shop

    Thanks for the compliments. I told him I wanted the satin pearl white wrap and chrome black but he pretty much came up with the rest. The rims were just plasti dipped. Good for now until I save up for black 21" or 22" wheels. Any thoughts on going to bigger wheels?

    Just curious what size wheels you have mounted now. The 22's look great on your white S. Any reason in particular you are selling them? How many miles did you drive on the 22's? Mahalo.

    Hawaii - Model 3 reservations

    I have received a few misinformation from them. The latest was when they told me I can order a merchandise online and return it to the store if I didn't like it. I ordered 2 jackets and 1 was too small. Later found out store will not accept returns from online orders. I had to pay $ 30 return...

    70D vs. 90D Speed Regrets?

    I bought a 70 model last December and have always wondered if I should have bought a P85 instead. The 70 has PLENTY of power. As a matter of fact, too much power if you have your grandchildren with you. The first time my grandsons (9,7,5) rode in the 70, I've only had it for a couple of weeks...
