Hawaii

My MS is parked in my condo lot too far from my unit to connect to wi-fi. I've noted that some updates need wi-fi (maps?) Does anyone know where I can park in Kihei (or anywhere else) that is close enough for a no-password wi-fi connection?

I don't mind weaving my way around the bears in Alaska, but parking in Wakiki gives me the creeps because I don't want door dings on my Model S. Any suggestions for the widest and or safest parking spots in Waikiki? Perhaps an EV charging spot would be safest because of EVs parked next you you...

It's that time of year again...throwing out the idea of a circle (half) island drive for NDEW this year. Anyone interested? Or suggestions welcome for a meet-up.

Just wanted to share something I didn't realize. The forward and back buttons on the left side of the steering wheel allow to move back and forward in your music. This is for Slacker, Tune-It and your personal music. However, if you click and hold them, they will move you through your lists...

Another TMC member/owner Artsci intends to produce another run of the Front Camera Kit that was offered in '14. You can read about it on the EV Applique web site where you can add your name to the reservation list. The site has an excellent explanation of the kit. EVAppliques.com Several of us...

Hey guys, Where do you folks recommend having Xpel installed? Looking for a really good installer as I can be very picky... Looking to do the front of my MS. Those of you with Xpel, how do you like it so far? Also, looking to do Ceramic tint, where and what do you guys recommend?

Just back from a week trip to Hong Kong and I think the Tesla density there must be close to Hawaii's. Feels like everywhere i turned, there was another Model S on the streets. Couldn't capture most of the photo ops because they'd go by so quickly but the few that I were able to capture on camera:

Anyone going to TMC connect this year? TMC Connect | The Official Conference of Tesla Motors Club As usual, it's when I have people in town :( Someday i'll get to go........... Would love to hear reports back from anyone who's attending though..

Here’s some info that might be useful. If you wish to have our Tesla authorized club logo applied to some apparel you can. I recently purchased a few Polo shirts for myself at Land’s End. The logo setup fee for digitizing the logo as an embroidered addition already been paid. Its available for...

What is the best windshield heat shield for the Model S?

Does anyone have an electrician / company that they recommend for installing either a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a Wall connector? Do you folks recommend the wall connector or is the mobile connector sufficient?

Hey Guys, I've been lurking on the forums since I first test drove a MS a month ago. Happy to say that I placed my order last night!! I ordered a midnight silver metallic 90D / pano / 21" grey wheels / next gen black / AP / smart air / high fidelity sound I'm actually picking up a 90D this...

Does anyone have info on Tesla rentals on the west coast? Where? How much? Anyone with experience doing it?

Hi there, I want to rent a Tesla for my friend's birthday. He is a big fan of Tesla, and he getting a Tesla by end of this year. He has a reservation on model X. I want to give him a surprise. Please let me know if someone willing to rent his/her car. I appreciate that!! Thanks

I thought I would throw this out there for people to give their wish list. I would like to see Spotify as an app for streaming music. I would like to see the Model S act as a hot spot for wireless access while in the car. There are other cars that have this.

Just signed up. My Model S is being built, delivery June-early July on Maui. It took a year to get my condo association to agree to an EV charging station. The parking lot is outside, no assigned spaces, all common element. The AOAO agreed to a dual station ChargePoint Level 2 charger...

Have you guys seen a problem with the garage door not closing automatically when you pull out of the garage? I haven't had a problem with the garage door opening automatically when I pull up to the garage door. But sometimes, I see the Home button come up but no distance countdown and...

So I had fun driving my 70D throughout the other 49 states, but now it's time to bring it to Hawaii. It looks like Matson and Pasha both offer drive-on service for about $1100, but while reading reviews I see too many references to damage to give me a good feeling. Any suggestions? I am...

Yesterday morning, I listened to Slacker on the way to work. Last nite, my screen said that a signal couldn't be detected so I switched to Tune In. This morning, the tab for Slacker doesn't even appear in the Browse\Internet tab. I vaguely remember Elon mentioning a long time ago that Tesla...

My S is approaching 26k miles and my two front tires are getting thin and noisy and I'm sure the rear tires will be needing replacement soon too. What has everyone else been doing regarding replacing tires on their cars and any recommendations? I would be fine with replacing them with the same...

My wife just called me with a frantic voice stating: "I am stopped at the light at Kiluaea and Waialae Ave behind plate number 6416, Model X P90D!" It was driving Makai from towards Kahala Mall from near Wilson Elementary. She said it's 'gray', but I'm not sure if she knows the difference...

Got upgraded maps today. OTA. Haven't seen any difference yet.

Its not a Tesla sighting. But I saw our flyer Tesla owner papafox on tv again tonight talking about the helo crash as Pearl Harbor.

A shot in the dark but....Does anyone here in Hawaii have a set of factory 21's you want to sell? Grey, Silver, staggered or non staggered, I am not going to be choosy if I can find it locally....

According to tweet by Elon...reservations start March 31 in stores and April 1 on-line. $1,000. No signature series. Elon Musk on Twitter: Starting this thread to track Hawaii reservations when the time comes :)

Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up. The stock closed at 147.99 today. It may be time to consider buying more stock if you haven't already.

It was awesome meeting you all today!!! I'll be in touch:cool: - - - Updated - - -

Aloha, thanks to the blizzard hitting Maryland back home our ten day trip to the windward side of Oahu will now be a 12 day trip. Looking for any/all recommendations from our local Tesla friends on interesting places to stay or things to do until our flight leaves Monday at 5pm. I know this is...

It's that time of year again..Here are some bills that are active in the leg this year. There are also some carry over bills from last year which have not been addressed yet. HB1546 Repeals provisions exempting electric vehicles from the payment of parking fees. HB1546.DOC SB99...

Hi there, Firstly, sorry to interrupt the Tesla information flow. My family plans on going to the Big Island this month, and although there is no official travel advisory, I was wondering what the 'locals' are saying with respect to the Dengue Fever outbreak? I tend to be a skeptic and...

Article in paper today about the Mirai...who's going to trade in their Tesla for one of these? :tongue: I've bolded the text about Tesla. Hydrogen fuel cell car is peppy in test drive - Honolulu Star-Advertiser The Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle replaces vroom with quiet, but more...

I think this release deserves it's own thread. Lane recognition on H1 is greatly improved. Still a little flakey on long sweeping turns (wanders side to side more than I would prefer. Parallel and Perpendicular parking are awesome. I never tried parallel parking with v7.0.

Happy 2016! Starting a new thread to post meet-ups and events. We are now an official TM sanctioned owners club so will have access to their facilities for events! Some thoughts for the new year.... - Schedule meet-ups for once a quarter - besides our small meet-ups, participate in at least...

Cord's a little short - we have to back in

As if we didn't already know this. Car and Driver came out with their 10 best cars for 2016. The Model S 70 and 70D made this list. - - - Updated - - - And CNN crowns the Model X the king of crossovers.

Here is a Pacific Business News about brands of cars seeing growth in Hawaii.

I got the email about the recall affecting my car. After I read the news about this, it doesn't sound like a big deal. I scheduled to go in to the SC to have this checked. It will be a nice time for me to say hi to the guys there and hang out.

Happy Halloween my fellow Hawaii Teslarati! Have a safe and fun one!

Scouting interest in a local product. I have sat in the Next Gen seats a couple of times. That's all it took. I want'em. But I am not ready to buy another Model S. I was thinking. If you could get a pair or even just the driver side front seat back (top section) seat cover(s) designed with...

Do any of you have Slacker Premium account and using it in the Model S? I wanted to see if it is worth upgrading to that so that I build playlists.

I am dropping off Tessie this Thursday at the SC for regular servicing so hopefully I get version 7.0. Though I don't know how much difference I will see since I don't have the sensors.

We heard from Lani that Tesla will have a pop-up showroom at Ala Moana shopping center, starting November 15. They have it for 80 days. They are looking for a permanent showroom in that area.

Heard over the weekend that the P90D Ludicrous will be racing one of the jets! Who's up for a meet-up that weekend? Probably Sunday. More details to follow.

Starting a thread for CPOs and for anyone looking to buy or sell their Tesla. I think we will be seeing a jump in CPOs/owners wanting to sell privately as people upgrade to the X or a newer MS. There were 2 CPOs at the SC. Looks like the red P85+ finally sold.
