Aloha all,
Not sure if this is the right thread or not but here is my situation:
I already own my MS, having purchased it on 3/28/14. It is a 60, pano,black,19s.
My questions are: If I decide to bring it (I am relocating for work on Kauai) there are several concerns:
A) the registration process seems like a big deal, compared to back on the mainland (NJ) where tesla did everything.
B) are the fees (Taxes, and others) similar for an already owned vehicle (I have 15K miles, if that matters)?
C) should I just sell it, and buy a new one?
D) is service available? how about Superchargers?
I will be coming there for my first ever visit in a few weeks. Hopefully, I can have the answers I seek by then.
Because you already own your vehicle, it's treated as an out-of-state transfer. The registration process is similar (except with the County of Kauai DMV instead of Honolulu as noted in this thread) however you will not have to pay State of Hawaii use taxes, since you are not purchasing a new vehicle.
Check the Kauai DMV site here
Also, I believe you may drive with your out-of-state plates here in Hawaii until your current out-of-state registration expires.
