Maui Hawaii Wi-Fi availability

[Richard Maui]

My MS is parked in my condo lot too far from my unit to connect to wi-fi. I've noted that some updates need wi-fi (maps?) Does anyone know where I can park in Kihei (or anywhere else) that is close enough for a no-password wi-fi connection?

Would it work if you went to a starbucks and used the in car browser to accept the terms and conditions on the login/splash page?

@gmtom1 I'll try it. If I can park right in front, it my pick up the wi-fi.

I'm not aware of any software updates that require wifi. but why not tether to your phone.

Public library? Im at the Maui Banyon in Keihi but not sure if the wifi works in the lot. If you are close I can give you a password to try..

I think as someone else said that map updates require wifi. But like you said, could just tether to phone (but you might be waiting for a while)

@spleen Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean tether to my phone?

Most smartphones these days have the option to activate a hotspot function where your cell phone acts like a cellular network connection for your computer through Wifi (also known as tethering). You can use this to use your phone as a wifi hotspot for your Tesla as well to download map updates.
