I love that idea! This way you can experience local culture while charging.
Plan your sightseeing around charging times. You could visit Hanauma Bay while your Tesla charges! Just ensure you have enough time to explore both.
Sounds like a win-win! It’s my favorite spot on the island!

If you have the Tesla app, keep it handy for real-time charging station availability. It really minimizes downtime!
Totally agree! I also used it in California, and it was super helpful.

Keep in mind that some charging stations can get busy, especially in tourist season. Early mornings might be best for avoiding crowds.
But won’t early mornings be packed with tourists too? It might be a gamble!

Just make sure to enjoy your time there! Charging can wait, it’s Hawaii after all. Who knows, you might end up enjoying the local coffee while waiting!
I’ve found that most Tesla charging stations on Oahu use a pay-per-use model, averaging about $0.28 per kWh. You can check the Tesla app for specific locations and prices.
That’s a decent rate! Does anyone know if there are any membership plans that could lower the costs?
Yes! Depending on your Tesla model, you might have access to discounts through their referral program. It’s worth checking out!
I usually use the Supercharger stations. They typically charge around $0.25 to $0.30 per kWh, which can save you a bit compared to level 2 chargers. Plus, they charge up pretty quickly!
That’s great! Are there any places with free charging options? I’d love to save some cash!
Unfortunately, free charging is rare on Oahu, but some hotels offer complimentary charging for guests. Definitely check with where you’re staying!
That’s good to know! Any specific hotels that are recommended?
The Hilton Hawaiian Village has great charging options and is conveniently located. I’ve also heard good things about the Sheraton Waikiki!
I’ll be checking into those hotels soon! Thanks, everyone! By the way, what payment methods do they accept at Supercharger stations?
Superchargers accept credit cards and the Tesla app for payment. It’s super convenient!
Great, thanks! Has anyone ever had issues with payment at the stations?
I’ve had a couple of hiccups, but the support team is usually pretty quick to resolve payment issues! Just keep your receipts.
