Just got back from a vacation in Hawai'i. While in Honolulu, we stopped by the Tesla store in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. They had a MS on the floor in red. My wife is not a lover of red cars but she said the MS looked absolutely delicious! Tesla has a new, larger store under construction in Waikiki which should be completed in about three months.
I told the sales staff I had a Model 3 under reservation. They were hungry for information. They said that they know absolutely nothing about the TM3 and they are getting constant questions about it from local residents. They were hoping maybe a reservation holder had some "inside information." I told them I really couldn't help other than to refer them to this chat list....for better or worse.
I asked about Superchargers in Hawai'i and they said there are no plans for Superchargers there. They said that with the small distances involved in the islands, Superchargers aren't justified. They said they do have 6 charging stations in the islands that will give a half charge in about 45 minutes but these are rarely used. They said most of their customers charge at home overnight and this gives them more than enough range during the day. They said that sales were going very well but they said they expected things to really break loose once the TM3 hits the store floor.
