Hawaii Tesla Showroom

Will be even clearer at the Grand Opening next month. Email invites have been sent out for May 20th event!

I just RSVP'd for this. See you all there.

Just RSVPd, although I'm not 100% sure I can be there. Funny how the invite specifically states that charging will not be available. The four chargepoint stalls in the garage will definitely be full!

 

[Akikiki]

Yeah, no charging at the IMP will really be tough on those folks driving over from Big Island. I guess we can take up a collection and pay for them to charge at a HECO DC charger before they start home. Hmmm, what would EM do? Probably just use a Falcon 9.

There are 8 charge point stalls (4 on the 5th floor and 4 on the 6th floor) but employees tend to take up the 6th floor charging stalls as that's where the employee parking is. Depending on the day I see 1-4 stalls taken on the 6th floor however, and I've seen one white tesla that parks very frequently on the 5th floor as well. Maybe that person works for Tesla and has been coming regularly for the store build out.

So, this is a parking lot where we can park for the opening? Where's the parking structure entrance?

Looks like I'm going to finally meet some of you fine folk! I RSVP'd and will be there with my fiancee. Too bad I can't drive there!

Best way I recommend is to take the King Street exit and head down Kapahulu, turning right onto the Ala Wai Blvd and head down about a mile before turning left on Walina Street. Walina street takes you straight into the parking structure and helps you to avoid the mess that is Kalakaua Ave and Kuhio Ave (it's my daily commute so I know it well). The parking is basically on the Kuhio side of the property, so just catch the elevator to the ground floor and walk across the entire length of the mall to get to Tesla which is on the Kalakaua side of the property. It will be on the left side. You can't miss is because there is only one exit onto Kalakaua.

Let's all takeover the valet lot on the 2nd? Floor

Is this new IMP store opening today? I heard at Ala Moana Tesla Showroom. I happen to be staying near there this week so if it's opening today I'd quickly visit there (though without RSVP, I can just show My Tesla page on my smartphone

Grand opening party is May 20th. Worth a call there to see if they had their soft opening already.

 

[StephenM]

They had removed the barricades as of yesterday and you can see 2 covered cars inside as they work to clean up the floor. I believe their doors are open today but I'm off so am not close by to pop in and take a look.

 

[hiroshiy]

Thanks! Will take a look tomorrow. Went to Hanauma bay this morning and I didn't have enough time to walk to IMP.

Here's the photo as of yesterday (took from distance).

 

[stoebs]

RSVP'd the other day. See you all there!
