[Akikiki]

Yes, exactly.

GG.. FYI..not much parking in the lot and street parking will be tight since its in an industrial park..so go early or be prepared to walk. Hope to see you there!

Thanks, Akikiki, nanimac. See you all! Look for the Indian dude with wife and nine-year-old son in tow. Hope to get there right in time for store opening.

I will be there early too. Perhaps 7 a.m. with a cup of joe. I'm sure there will be plenty of people to talk to

So is it 7 or 9am? I actually hoped it was 7, since I have to be back in downtown by 10:30, which makes it a bit tight.

 

[nanimac]

9am

Article/video about the model 3 in PBN today....was really hoping there wouldn't be any local press..might mean longer lines tomorrow

I confirmed (again) with Jimmy that the SC will open at 8am, although the sales team will not begin taking reservations and deposit payments until 9am. See you all tomorrow!

Take a lot of pictures and post them on this forum and the Hawaii Tesla club site.

Well gang.... we got a little more then 14 hours before its our turn, see you guys, who will be the first in Hawaii to reserve? and of course.... hopefully if its on time, we can say who is the first to get it delivered!... good luck! I'll be down a little later...

 

[nanimac]

A little treat for people who stood in line? Hmmmm...

[nanimac]

About 100 people in line now..first person in line at 10pm last night!

Hard core

They mentioned "email confirmation within 24 hours" when I placed my order; I'd be surprised if anything went out before the reveal today (5:30pm HST) -- maybe the confirmation email will contain an image of the Model 3!

Also: I can't remember where I read it, but I thought that the orders will be sorted according to how-long-after-center-opened the order was placed. For example, a Hawaii order at 9:33am HST (3:33pm EST) would be considered BEFORE a NYC order at 9:40am EST -- to create fairness to different time zones and store opening times. So they may also be waiting for that before sending a confirmation email.

[ Remember that the orders are going into different Priority/Preference Pools, something like: Tesla employees > SpaceX employees > Tesla owners > Gen pub -- so Tesla has some sorting to do ]

Here's a good read on clearing up the 200K order threshold and tax incentive. This image really helps to understand as well.

Good seeing some of you today!

Did anyone that was there this morning get their RN number yet? I know it will eventually show up but waiting

 

[nanimac]

Sorry...guess no call-ins for reservations...i guess i am special after all

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

Got our reservation in at around 10:15 am HST. The experience here in Hawaii was far better than it'd have been with the ridiculous lines in the Bay Area apparently.

It was good seeing you, @nanimac, @StephenM!

Anyone got your reservation number linked to your My Tesla yet? I haven't, and no email yet. They did charge my credit card. Great seeing all this morning.
