Saw a red MS turning right onto Alakea Street from Hotel Street this morning around 9. No front plate. Anyone on the forum?

It actually looked like a sig red coming toward me, but when it turned it and I saw the side of it, it was definitely red :)

Saw a white MS right behind me in the Autoline at 'Iolani School when I picked up my daughter from school today. People that knew the woman (couldn't see her face) commented about the fact that there were two Teslas in a row. Couldn't see her plates since she was right behind me.

Sounds like one I've been hearing about that lives in Waimea...

Well, I saw the white Model S again this morning. I'm staying at the Kumulani condos at Mauna Kea/Hapuna Prince. The white Model S pulled into a garage at a complex a little downhill from the lanai at the condo I'm renting.

Hey Nanimac! That was probably me. I didn't see you in your MS. or were you walking? My office is in the Alakea Corporate Tower.

Akikiki, you crack me up! When is your red arriving?? I haven't been on the forum for awhile, so I may have missed your announcement. I saw a red going up Alakea couple days ago, around 5pm. Was wondering if you may have already ordered your red. Keep up posted.

I was walking :) My office is at Central Pacific Plaza but I only park there occasionally. I've seen a white Tesla driving up Alakea a few times but yours was the first red :)

skibum, PANT, PANT, PANT, (Oh woe is me.) SIGH, no I regret to say, that was not me, (yet). Well, week of 9/22. DS said it would be ready on 9/26, but I don't want to leave work to get her. So, I am (now this is the REAL TEST of My WILL) going to try to wait until Sat 9/28 at 10:00 to get her. You folks should start a pool, to see if I can go that long, - from 9/26 to 9/28.
skibum, I want you to drive it when it gets here. I want you to taste what the P verison will do for ya.

Oh Akikiki, you're going to get me in trouble! I have a lead foot, so the 60 is just enough for me to hopefully stay out of trouble. A P85 would just be too much of in invitation to fly down the road.

As StephenM said, "that's just evil":biggrin: TROUBLE! TROUBLE! TROUBLE!

Congrats on your upcoming delivery! If you need a ride down to the SC on that Sat., PM me. I promise I won't beg you to let me drive your new baby!

Yes, it would be fun to see Akikiki take possession of his new SUPER-Tesla. Photos will be manadatory.

Had a Nissan Leaf driver checking out my MS today as our cars sat side by side in the two charging spots at Kailua Whole Foods. She was checking out my air-conditioned dog in the back seat (which has a great cover to protect the leather). Before long I invite her to sit in passenger seat while I show her the touchscreen, then one of her neighbors drives by, she waves, he comes over and we have a grand discussion about the car as the air conditioning is pumping away, my dog is cool as a cucumber, and the Tesla continues to charge.

Half an hour later, I am walking said formerly-air-conditioned Tesla dog along Kalaheo Ave in Kailua when a couple drives their silver MS with 19" wheels out the driveway and onto Kalaheo. I give them a big thumbs up and they wave. A true Tesla day ; )

Tesla time AND Tesla sighting. A good day indeed :)

Kind of lost track on how many Model Ses are in Hawaii now (last number was around 120), but I saw four of them - white, dolphin gray, silver and black - on the work today. That's a record for me on one drive.

It's pretty much a daily occurrence now so I think this thread is obsolete. I'm just going to post if there's an akikiki, nanimac, dsmith (or anyone else I met at the last meet) sighting :)

StephenM, You will be able to spot me coming down the road. I will be the red one with my T-grin so wide it will be sticking out the windows on each side of the car like wings. The corners of my mouth will be a flappin' in the wind.

I spotted my black "Selene" and Akiki's red "Tessie Too" leaving the Tesla factory today. OK, well, I didn't see it, but I've been staying in close contact with the rep and in a brief dialogue this morning was advised that our vehicles were leaving the factory this morning...enroute to the dock.

mmartin, be sure to use RodF's bulletproof smart phone app method for tracking your S's progress out of the factory, across the ocean, and exiting the container in Hawaii. Must be an exciting time for you.

As for sightings of Akikiki's upcoming Tessie Two, it'll be the bright red MS with the police escort. Those patrol cars just love bright red automobiles.

@papa, police escort? Aren't you kind? Police escort? Isn't the police escort usually in front? Papafox, I think you are inferring police CHASE.

MMartin's and my TT are supposed to be on the ship ship. Right now, my app is not showing a VIN. What about your's MM?

My app still won't sign in saying that my vehicle may not be ready yet...the same message I've had all along. I've never seen any other messages displayed.

Logging in to the MyTesla website, my vehicle status changed today to "Production Complete: Your Model S is being prepared for pickup or delivery."

As I mentioned earlier, I know it left the factory this AM along with Akikiki's for the dock and should set sail on Thursday. Will update if anything changes.
