@gigawatt1010, I had shipped SKYGZR (Sky Gazer, not Sky Geezer, as some of my friends like to say
) to the mainland last June (2019) in anticipation of my retirement (this past April). As a 2014 build, it has free Supercharging for life, which I'm finally able to take advantage of since there aren't currently any superchargers on Maui. I had wanted to take a trip immediately after my retirement, but the pandemic delayed things. After a few months driving my wife a bit crazy, she told me to just go for it, but she stayed on Maui to be extra safe (she is a cancer survivor and not taking any chances right now with the pandemic). The trip was indeed a blast, and I'm looking forward to future ones (definitely with my wife, next time).I bought a new performance S last July for here on Maui, so I leave SKYGZR on the mainland with my step daughter and son in-law and keep it registered for Hawaii. They think I"m pretty cool.

Not a special location - just the crazy red sunset and the cool windmills that have some common traits with a Tesla.

Mesmerizing! Where is it?

That's so cool that you're able to do that. Can't wait for retirement, sadly I'm still a bit far from that as much as I'd like to think otherwise. Good for your wife that she kicked cancer's ass. My wife is a CA survivor as well, she fought the battle when we were in our early 30's. We're now in our late 40's and she's been good.
Did your Performance S come with FUSC as well? Both our 2016 MS & 2019 MX come with FUSC and we're taking advantage of it any chance we get. We drove her MX from NY to Fremont Factory last year and logged over 7,500 FUSC miles in 16 days.
@SilverGS - thanks for sharing, your images on this thread are phenomenal. If I say pretty please, would you be able to share a hires version of your profile pic? Would love to print it big and hang in my garage. Please let me know and I'll PM you my email address. Thanks!

@gigawatt1010, I (unfortunately) bought my performance S during that narrow window where Tesla had announced that the Ludicrous upgrade would be given to existing owners for free, but before they added back in the FUSC. With me living in Hawaii, I wasn't going to be that guy that canceled his order just for that reason. We have a reservation for the tri-motor cybertruck, and we'll probably sell the Performance S when that arrives. Also, the odds that Maui gets a supercharger before then is probably less than 10%, so it'll end up being a moot point. I'm happy for you and your wife regarding her remaining cancer-free. My wife beat it 8 years ago, and the farther we get from that date, the better.

Awesome. I passed there yesterday on my way to Turkey Point Beach and noticed the dozens of windmills in the area. We stopped for dinner in the Six Nations Reservation (Burger Barn), and had burgers. It may have been the tastiest burger I've had in Canada.

We bought our 2015 S85D in April 2019. Unfortunately our daughter delivered our first grandson prematurely and we’ve had to stay home helping her. The pandemic has kept us grounded this year but hopefully we will be able to start traveling later this year or early next year.
Would you mind posting a map of your route across the west? We are hoping to do Dallas to Portland, south to California then head back to Texas.
Thanks for the great photos. Here is Lazuli in the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Overlooking Hominy Valley on Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville, NC. Yep, it’s my avatar pic.

Yes, that's the canonical Crater Lake shot. Never gets old. Unfortunately, there's no place to park close enough to sneak your car into the frame. Unless you have a 4X4, in which case all bets are off. We'll probably see wizard island shots with CyberTrucks soon, and tire tracks on the grass.
I managed to get to that spot when it was all mine, so I could choose my composition.

The orange of the parking light on the grass in the lower corner pulls this image together... well done!
