Hello all. It looks like I'll be moving to Maui mid-2021, and I remember there was at least 1 iPace owner on the board, possibly a couple, but I can't really find them because the search for posts prior to the board change doesn't work very well.

I was wondering if anyone had feedback on what it's like owning on the island? I know power is expensive, so I'll definitely have a large solar array + battery storage. How do you deal w/ service (if required), since there isn't a JLR on Maui? How did you handle the purchase when you first got it?

I don't know this for a fact but by his handle JoeAloha is in HI

Car Still In Shop

So, it's been 4 weeks now since the car went into the shop due to charging failure. This after 6 weeks in the shop for a full battery replacement. Dealer says the car charges fine cold. When they test drive and drain the battery and the car warms up, it won't charge. They say they are working...

Pastor Pete purchased from San Diego and shipped to Oahu.
Last I saw, the dealer in Honolulu didn't have the best service department.

Hes a Great guy and a pleasure talk to

I was guessing he is in Hawaii as well, but didn't want to assume (maybe it grew up there and moved to the mainland).

Thanks for the heads up. Definitely good to know who's over there. I do wish there was a dealer on Maui, but I can understand why they don't have one. The lack of a good service department is the scariest part about the move.

Aloha. The only dealer is on Oahu. It's part of the JN motor group tha reps Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Audi, Land Rover.

I don't know how you would service the car under warranty on any island but Oahu.

I wish I could remember the person that lived on Maui. I believe when he had a battery die he had to have the car towed and ferried over to Oahu. How much of a pain is getting a car between the islands?

I did find the other Maui owner (WaltK), but unfortunately it looks like he’s been idle for 11 months. I’m guessing he did a buyback because of the recurring black screens and having to ship back and forth from Maui to Honolulu multiple times.
