    Not Available FOR SALE: 2021 Model 3 SR+, 15,000 miles

    Paul You are absolutely right, but it was not the case at the time posted my first ad on Craigs List. Granted most ads were very unrealistic (especially the dealers' ads), there were only a couple cars similar in year and mileage to my car that were priced at reasonable asking prices. Within...

    Window cleaner, what product(s) you recommend?

    The gent that bought my MS swears by Zani glass cleaner, but I can’t find it anywhere. He got it at Longs. Last time I saw my former MS the windows look super clean and almost seemed to have a glassy refined finish. For now, I used Windex and then giving RainX a try. Already know not to use...

    Honolulu, Auauhi St: What should I expect before delivery appointment

    Pretty much what gmtom1 said. I would add that you should expect that things can happen really quickly. Ordered my new car on Jan 4th and was given a delivery date range of 1/15 to 3/31. On 1/18 I’m told my delivery date is 1/22 at 12 noon. On the morning of 1/22, I’m told my delivery time...

    Licensed Honolulu Electrician for Installation of Charging Outlet

    Spleen, I’m not familiar with the hpwc as I use the charger that comes with the car and plugs into a 240v clothes dryer style plug. Does the hpwc also connect using a 240v plug?

    Question to those who chose the Midnight Silver Metallic color.

    For me, it was just a matter of personal taste, and to a lesser extent, the cost. My first choice would have been white, but the upcharge and my budget swayed me to my second choice -- midnight silver. ... the rest is history

    Post a picture of your facelifted Model S

    Although we don't get to drive on cross country road trips, we truly enjoy the benefits of our PV system, a lot of sunshine, and no gas bills! Speed limit tops out at 60 mph on certain sections of our freeway, so we can't legally drive as fast as our European Tesla friends! ☹️

    Driver Side Wiper Rattling

    I have seen this mentioned in other windshield wiper posts. I personally experienced it after treating my exterior windows with Rain X, driver's and passenger side. There appears to be some controversy in the forum posts on the cause and effect, so to speak. I can't be a 100% sure on the...

    Hawaii - Firmware 8.1

    Thanks for the post Aikikiki. I just sold my 2012 Infiniti G37 to enable me to buy my new 2017 MS. The Bluetooth function in my old G37 could actually discern if a given contact had more than one phone number. It would then ask you if you want to call the first number listed, or you could...

    Hawaii tire replacement

    I was just at Lex Brodie / Queen St today for my wife's BMW. I asked a supervisor about the their ability to replace Model S tires. He said they don't carry anything for the 21" wheels, but could replace the 19" with Michelins speced for the Tesla. They do not carry the Goodyear 19"s. Per...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Oops, I meant to say "I'm fine with doing 0 - 35 mph..." On a side note, I'm hearing noises about a Supercharger being installed somewhere on Oahu. Unconfirmed at this point, but I hear that the Hawaii Tesla owners are in touch with Tesla on this.

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Some looonger sections of the H-3 Freeway, which runs across a good portion of the island of Oahu, have a 60 mph speed limit. If you check the straight aways ahead for solo bike cops with the laser, and make sure there are no Crown Vics, blue & white cruisers, or the unmarked subsidized cop...

    Tesla accident in the news

    Here's what I have from the driver of the red MS. Please understand that details provided by him are minimal as they needed to spend time dealing with the insurance firm, the authorized repair shop, Tesla reps, and also had to rush in prepping to depart on a trip. In addition to what has been...

    Hawaii Tesla Showroom

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Aloha Navsarin I took my 2017 MS60 to the SC last week and got an older P85 loaner, not sure of the year but it did have the nose cone front fascia. How uncanny that I experienced exactly what you described when I drove the loaner, even at 25-50+ mph. Windows were up and sealed and I tried to...

    Unstable steering at speeds around 80 mph

    I took my 2017 refreshed-fascia S 60 to the SC yesterday to have some issues looked at, one of which was a misaligned steering wheel, with a mushy feel somewhere between the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. When you're driving straight at 30 to 70 mph, I get a mushy feel to the wheel if I perform a...

    Insurance On Model S?

    IMHO, your rate is not unreasonable, given the depreciated Tesla replacement value, and based on my experience when I was single and had only one car insured.
