Hawaii Tesla Owners

[StephenM]

Hey guys, Luke from the Service Center. I just wanted to drop a line and give a big mahalo to each and every one of your for making Tesla one of the greatest companies to work for. Tomorrow is my last day with the company, but I just wanted to let you all know that having owners like you is what made the job great for me. I was there for about 90% of all your deliveries and I really consider you all as part of my extended Ohana. It has been an absolute joy seeing the company, and store grow and again thank you so much for being supportive and most of all patient with us! I don't know who will be filling my shoes at the shop, but Jimmy will still be there and if the new guy gives you any fuss send him my way, i'll straighten him out!

I also have my check book waiting for the Model 3, so maybe I get to be on the receiving end of that Tesla Aloha for a change?

LUKE!!! I am your father. Just kidding. I'm sure that's the first time you heard that joke.
All kidding aside, YOU WILL BE MISSED!!! It has been an absolute pleasure working with Hawaii's service center, in no small part because of you! Good luck in your future endeavors, and hope you keep in touch. Also hope to see you in a model 3 when it comes out. Mahalo nui loa, a hui hou kakou!

-Stephen

Awwww, sorry to see you go, man. Absolutely a pleasure working with you. Best wishes in your next endeavor and hope to see you at some point at one of our meet ups!

 

[RodF]

Also very sorry to hear you are leaving. You (and Akikiki) made my delivery a great experience!

Luke,

You will surely be missed. Thank you for all your hard work. Tesla's loss is someone else's gain.

 

[Akikiki]

Luke, As you can see the comments from a sampling of the Hawaii owners, we have appreciated your spirit and professionalism in helping us with our spaceships. You will truly be missed every day and with every visit we make.
Thank you so much for all you have done for TM and for us. Best to you.

You are all more than welcome and thank you for all the kind words. And if you happen to have a Toyota still come and see me at Servco in Mapunapuna

Luke - thanks for all that you did to make TMC and TM Hawaii such an awesome place. I too have a Toyota for my other "car" and will be sure to stop by and say hello.

Luke,
Let me add a big MAHALO for your efforts at the service center. I've always been glad to see your face and know you'll be an asset no matter where you go.

Mr. Musk earlier on Tuesday told The Wall Street Journal that sales of its electric vehicles in China declined significantly last quarter largely due to “misperceptions” among Chinese consumers about charging requirements for his car.
China, he said “started off being fairly strong…but in the fourth quarter of last year China was not a significant contributor to our sales.”
He said Tesla has to correct a misperception among potential buyers in the country that a Tesla is difficult to charge.
The Wall Street Journal previously explored this issue for Tesla and other electric-car makers here in China, a country where most home owners live in apartments – which can be tough places to park a charging apparatus.

Has no one been listening to me? I've been saying this for two years.:crying:

I didn't know you've been living in China. That must make for a long commute when you come to a Hawaii event.
My hat's off to you sir.

dsmith has been hiding his aqua-plane enabled feature on his Model S from us. You must share this at the next meet up

 

[drtko147]

Actually, I think dsmith got the Musk conversion with it being a mini-sub like the James Bond car that Musk bought.

I tried to do the conversion but it required parking sensors already installed.

Wait a minute. Whoa. Stop the presses. Hold it. You mean your S does not have parking sensors? How primitive is that?
How can you drive a S without parking sensors? Really, are you being truthful about this? Wow, next thing you will say is that you don't have a chicken in the back seat...
