I still think the Superchargers should start at a more central location on the island. Or does that not make sense at all?

That does make sense. Having a charger in Pearl City (or maybe Halawa) area seems like it would cover a lot of highways in a very accessible location. If Tesla were even to build only one charger, either location would probably work well.I still think the Superchargers should start at a more central location on the island.

After 8 years of empty Supercharger promises, not permit for one even filed on Hawaii (REAL HAWAII big Island)
So... I sold the 3. I'm tired of dreaming for something that's not coming, ever.

Won't happen. With HECO's kwh prices, Tesla would go broke honoring free supercharging obligations. lol
I think it likely that the Superchargers installed in Hawaii (and there will be superchargers, it's just a matter of time) are going to be the solar-canopy, battery-backed up style - which would contribute to the delay. This would reduce the cost to Tesla long-term. Besides, the majority of Tesla' vehicles shipped today charge for supercharging.
If Tesla isn't... Why would you say that? That's akin to saying, if Tesla isn't going to build a smaller EV than the S? Oh wait, that's the 3. If Tesla isn't going to build a pickup truck. Oh wait, - yeah waiting is what we are doing, but also waiting for superchargers.If Tesla isn't going to build out the supercharger Network on the islands, they should at least offer the Chademo adapter at cost rather than the regular $500 price so we can utilize the existing fast charge network.
Let's assume the average Tesla will supercharge 50kwh. Assuming at a busy 8 stall station you get 100+ cars in a 24 hr period. You're looking at 5000 kwh needed to be produced in one day. My loaded large roof of my 4 bedroom home produces 75 kwh per day max in the summer. Powerwalls hold 13.5 kwh. Powerpacks hold 210 kwh. Even with cutting edge high efficiency panels, these numbers just won't add up logistically. I can see MAYBE, mildly supplementing power at a supercharger station as a PR stunt. That's about it.
If Tesla isn't... Why would you say that?
I had a little spare time this weekend, so I wrote a program to scan the Honolulu permit database and archive a summary of the permit data for year 2019 for off-line searching.
After taking a quick look through the collected permit data, I found a vague possibility (which went inactive, so it's a dead-end):
Honolulu Internet Permit System - Internet BP Application - 2019/IBP00720
Not sure which address is associated with the permit, though.
I'll search in a little more detail soon.
Also, since I can tune the program to scan permits from a specific range of days, I'll monitor the new permits weekly and report back if anything interesting turns up.
If anyone thinks it would be worthwhile to search 2018 as well, let me know and I'll load up that data.
