any update on how you managed this issue? My own issue with my 2018 MX air compressor was repeated failures at 12k, 18k, then 40k. Like you, I asked why the failures occured repeatedly (esp at the 18k event but each time they just removed and replaced the unit. Unlike yours, my failures were...

You're right on the absence of self service power wash stalls on Oahu (for nonmilitary). There is one self service car wash, called MWR Self Car Wash off of Valkenburgh street, near Navy-Marine Golf course and an adjacent strip mall...Not sure how strict the attendants are on checking for...

Sorry, were the Delentes the only available brands on hand with T&T at the time?

Thanks for the info! I'll look into T&T...Was going to look at TireRack and have CustomAuto (TireRack recommended) in Kalihi do the install as backup for about $700 out the door for 2 front Michelins. We're the Hancocks the only choice by available stock from T&T?

I'm asking for advice from fellow MS and MX owners on Oahu as to where they feel the best tire deals exist to replace their OEM rubber? Yup, these heavy beasts definitely like to eat rubber, ...I'm down to 2-3/32 front and 3/32 rear tread at just over 18k original miles. Looking for least noise...

Thanks for reading into my poorly constructed comment! I was really referring to CCS charging as Tesla has adapted in Europe in addition to the standard Tesla charging port. Yes, the DC charging stations we have here all require a CHAdeMO adapter, and as you state, it's not economical nor as...

There are several DC fast charging stations around Oahu. What's the chances of getting CCS chargers before superchargers,...and getting a CCS adapter for non-European Teslas?

I had Shane at Xero Wraps apply xpel to the high risk chip areas of my MX: Frunk hood Front bumper Front fender panels Side mirrors Lower door rocker panels Rear bumper upper surface that tends to get scuffed with luggage stowage $1600 in summer 2018 and so far so lucky ( no need bachi me!)...

Most, if not all safety check stations use a light transmission meter to guage compliance. Legit tint installers can provide guidance at the time of installation.

An R sticker is a Reconstructed Vehicle Inspection sticker performed on vehicles that have undergone certain modifications. Without this successful inspection and sticker designation a safety check station is not allowed to pass a vehicle. An excerpt from the website includes the following...

Do you anticipate needing the "R" sticker prior to next safety check because the suspension isn't EOM any longer? I had a lowered Lexus GS430 and it was always a hassle with the safety checks when they called out the nonOEM lower springs even when alignment was spot on...

Don't be surprised if you get a response that there's no real 1 year service check. There was a notice in the last year that scheduled services have been replaced with "as needed" service appointments...like the safety checks we have for Honolulu vehicles...I don't believe many/any owners of...

Welcome to the club! I've always taken my Tesla to the SC. I use my app to schedule the appt. I input the specific need for a Honolulu Safety Check. It's usually not a service that is recognized by the central service center and done by a mobile team, so they'll call you to schedule a...

I have the flashy red MX so for a second "baby" Y, I'd like a "cool but understated" pearly white on white addition ..

Yup, the front plate needs to be onofor safesa checks

I saw a youtube video notice that M3 performance models can ask Tesla for $5k refund instead of their lifetime supercharger benefit. I wonder whether Tesla would offer all Hawaii owners eligible for unlimited lifetime Supercharging some type of refund or credit towards other upgrades for not...

Paint protective film provides the best protection from scratvhes and chipping esp around the front bumper, hood and side mirrors Ceramic provides added protection but is best known for increasing the thicknrss of the clearcoat and reduces dirt adhesion thereby simplifying car washing. Hope...

I hope tesla is able to figure it out. Did you send a bug report at the time after the incident? Use voice commands to provide feedback to Tesla. Say "Note", "Report", "Bug note", or "Bug report" followed by your brief comments

I may need to be corrected, but you need to have your plates already on the car. So, I they may not accept a new EV without plates since that is how the parking credit is entered on their end....

I purchased from Chad at www.theTeslaGrin.com

cuz ... a) I'm a newbie and I haven't a clue of any etiquette rules for posting, or b) I was purposefully multitasking hint,... it isn't a) .. :cool:

Hilarious! No offense taken at all! I've gone through almost as many girations with various projects with my past ICE vehicles. In retrospect I think because of the fun of the challenge more than anything else! It's certain, after awhile the plate will find itself in the frunk like yours and I...

Yes!! Completely agree that it's technically doable. I hope my community in HI feels the same way. I believe we are also in the process of changing our light source to LEDs reducing the burden on the grid. Pay for use is also a key element to making this community initiative financially...

Reflecting on the emotional comments regarding public EV charging etiquette, it seems humans hold polarizing viewpoints when dealing with a finite resource. The fact remains that not everyone can afford a Tesla with its range capacity. Until the competition can catch up, our brothers and...

If you only need to show the front plate rarely, that looks like a great cost saving solution! In Oahu, HI we need show the secured front plate during annual vehicle "safety check" inspections . All other times, I think the majority of the local members here comment that our law enforcement...

With the significant number of Tesla arrivals and new owners (and upgraded previous owners), I hope that bringing back the issue of how to easily mount and remove the front license plate as the owner sees fit for taste would be appropriate. Like many others prior to and immediately upon arrival...

Replaced your OEM filter at 8k miles? Is that the expected life expectancy of the carbon filter?

I wasn't an early adopter of the EAP when I received my MX in June. I didn't see this feature as more than what it was stated to be... beta test performance . When the feature was recently offered as a 2 week free trial I put it through my nonscientific but consistent 60mi daily commute and...

looks like it was a great day from the pics! i hope to catch the next event!

Have any HI members with nonPUP option installed the OEM HEPA filter? I didn't opt for it after reading posts about the ease of install if the SC can order the part.
