I'm reviewing my paperwork that I got from delivery and noticed a few items. Apologies if this is common knowledge, but just thought I'd share:
1. My car arrived via Pasha Hawaii and Horizon Lines. I can't tell when it left the west coast. It seems like it was in a sealed 40' container and sent with 3 other vehicles, based on the BOL. When I initially was told by the DS the dates of when it was leaving the mainland and arriving here, I thought it was coming via Matson, but I guess my detective work on google was a bit off.
2. I recall seeing someplace else on TMC a post how TM ships 3 cars in 40' sealed containers in a weird stacking maneuver. I wonder if that's how they did this one. I did see two other cars up on lifts wrapped in plastic when I was at the SC.
3. The "Bill of Lading" they provided me is a copy. Jimmy at the SC said this is all they have when I asked about getting the "original" It's really just a print screen from Honolulu Freight service with the truck drivers name, and the 2nd page is again print screen copies from Pasha Hawaii/Horizon lines showing the transport of the container. I'll report back if they give me any problems at the DMV with this.
4. The SC didn't provide me with a Hawaii registration form, and I forgot to ask. All rational/clear thought left my head. If I was to do this again, I'm definitely making a checklist to take with me.

Someone should have told them that Tesla owners are immune from the condition known as range anxiety. :biggrin: I'll settle for HECO just hurrying up with my service upgrade request so I can get a new meter installed at my house to enable 240V/NEMA 14-50 charging at my house instead of this trickle charge I'm getting from the 110V. I'm still okay for my daily commute at the slower rate, but I just have to control my use of the MS' spirited acceleration a bit more.... :wink:
