Top two reactions to seeing my MS.
a few months ago some one saw my MS pass them in a parking garage. He started jumping up and down, pointing and screaming "A Tesla, I've seen a Tesla!!!!"
and today has to be the best reaction I hope to see over and over again.
As I pulled up to a stop sign. it was funny that all the cars entering the intersection stopped and none proceeded through the intersection. Then I saw her, a beautiful girl wearing a form fitting long dress.:love: She was crossing in front of me from the right. As she got right in front of me, her head started to turn to look at my MS, then down at the License plate, then up at me. She repeated this cycle as she continued to walk. when she was in the middle of the next lane she turned her head to look at the profile of the car, slowing down and almost stopping in the middle of the street to see the car. The smile on her face grew:smile: with every glance she took at me (or was it the car):biggrin:. As soon as she reached the opposite sidewalk the show was over and the rest of the cars started moving again.
I lingered a few moments more hoping she would come back and ask for a ride.
Loved your story! Made me laugh at the end of a LONG Monday

that's just a car-jacking scheme...I had a guy run up to my car in Waikiki to ask me to borrow the car. He said that he would pay for the electricity.
Got the first call from my Delivery Specialist today. His name was Ciaran - anyone here talked with him before? I guess Hawaii is getting popular because he said he was newly assigned to Hawaii from Portland a couple of weeks ago. He was really nice and took time to explain and answer all my questions. Also found out a new change is that Hawaii is now eligible for the Tesla financing program and therefore the resale guarantee too!
He's estimating my production will be completed on 7/22 and delivery by 8/19, at the earliest.
Starting to get excited.....
Robert was ours

He also mentioned that the reason for the change in the financing was because they finally got everything setup and the SC is official now (it's on the TM site with the address and everything). Next person to visit the SC, say congrats to Barry for me.
I also mentioned some of the hassles we go through to get our cars registered here w/ safety checks vs. buying from a dealership. He said he would look into it and I'm sending him our checklist.

Driving to Kahala Mall from Waialae Nui at about 6:30 pm today, I drove past a black MS on Halekoa. Then on Kahala Ave, saw a red one turning into Kahala Mall, then a blue one passing us along Kahala Avenue. All this in a matter of minutes.
Hey Hawaiiskibum, if that was you on Waialae Avenue at about 8:30pm tonight, that was me givin you the Shaka from the window of Azteca restaurant. Lookin good ruby red!
For those looking for an alternative for rim repair, I used the following shop:
Alloy wheel Repair Specialists of Hawaii
94-1388 Moaniani St. #322
Waipahu, HI 96797
Tel: 808-391-8633
[email protected]
They charged me $160 for one rim and gave me a break for paying cash.
Everything was great except ONE pretty big thing, so buyer beware. I took pictures of the repair, and noticed that there was a gash in the tire. The technician said his machine presses against the tire to give room for him to work on the damaged rim, and it caused this gash. They didn't disclose it to me, and then brushed it off like it's not a big deal when I brought it up to them, so that was a big minus in the overall experience. If this damage would occur everytime he tries to repair our 21" wheels, of course it would not be recommended, but if it was just a one time mistake then the job on the rim itself is flawless. I can't even tell where the damage was.
