//COVID-19 Travel Restrictions Apply - See details below// This is the only 2020 Tesla Model S Performance (P100D Ludacris+; 0-60 in 2.2 seconds), full-self-driving feature, Raven model (includes active suspension, longer range, and hold mode) for rent on Oahu. This is one of the few cars in the world that drives like a high-end luxury car and a high-performance sports car at the same time. The active suspensions feature on the 2020 raven editions smooths out the ride and comes in particularly handy on Hawaii's less than optimal road conditions. If you're thinking about buying one, want to enjoy your Hawaii vacation in style, or just want the unique experience of Ludacris+ acceleration, this is your chance. WARNING - If you try it, you'll want one, and I can't be held responsible for the life-long obsession that will ensue. This car is also professionally clear-wrapped with Xpel Ultimate, providing maximum protection for the paint, and further ceramic coated with Max Protect UNCR (including windows) for maximum hydrophobic qualities, protection, and ease of cleaning. The windows are also tinted, including the front windshield which is tinted with a clear tint blocking UV rays and minimizing car heating while in the sun. This car is full-self-driving enabled, allowing you to "navigate on autopilot" and automatically change lanes using turn signals, or autonomously in navigation mode. While this is a cool feature, and you should try it if you're thinking about buying a Tesla, I would encourage you to spend as much time as possible just driving. This car is a real pleasure to drive! *For travelers outside of Hawaii, refer to Hawaii state pre-travel and post-arrival testing requirements and quarantine rules. In order to rent this car, you must be eligible and not under quarantine! For locals, these restrictions should not apply. Proof of Hawaii drier's license with an Oahu address or (for customers that live off island) COVID-19 pre-travel and post-arrival test results will be required.
This exclusive car has additional safety checks for guests under 30.

Add optional Extras to your trip at checkout.
Child safety seat
If you need a child car seat, we'll include it at no extra charge. If you need more than one, we may be able to arrange that as well.
Free1 available
Unlimited mileage
Feel free to drive the car as much as you would like. It's an island. How far can you go? ;-)
Free
Prepaid EV recharge
Save time and make drop off a breeze by adding this Extra, which allows you to return my car without fully recharging. Please return with at least 30 miles of range.
$30/trip
Post-trip cleaning
Return the car hassle free, without worrying about cleaning up after your trip. Does not cover upholstery cleaning, spills, stains, pet hair, or smoke removal.
$35/trip
Pickup and drop off default will be at the Safeway parking lot. Additional arrangements can be made on a case by case basis, per customers needs/requetsts.
What is the minimum charge I need to have when I turn my car back in?
As long as there is at least 250 miles of range left on the meter at the time it's turned back in, there will be no charge. Anything less than 250 miles, there will be a $30 charge.
How do I charge my Tesla Model S?
Charging equipment will be included with your car. Charging can be accomplished with a standard 120V wall outlet (slow charge), or you can use the CHAdeMO adapter included with the car to use one of several level-3 charging stations on the island. Currently there are no Tesla Superchargers operational on the Oahu (coming soon), so with the exception of a few free charging stations on the island, many chargers (including all the high-speed charging stations) will charge a fee to use them. In all cases, it will be cheaper than filling a car with Hawaii-priced gas for a conventional rental car.
Will the autopilot avoid pedestrians or parked cars on the side of the road?
Not really!! I HIGHLY recommend you not use autosteer on side roads. The car is programmed to stay in the middle of the lane, and if there are pedestrians, bike riders, etc. on the side of the road, the autopilot WILL NOT drive defensively and swerve slightly to avoid these hazards. It will simply stay in the middle of the lane. Due to the HIGH number of people walking, riding bikes, etc. on Oahu side roads, please limit or avoid the use of autosteer on side roads. Autopilot should be reserved for major roads and highways.
Do I need to wash and clean the car before turning it in?
Yes! A cleaning fee of $35 cleaning fee will be incurred if the car is turned in dirty.
Will the car actually drive by itself on Hawaii roads?
Yes and No! While the "full-self-driving" feature has been purchased for this car, Teslas still have not been authorized for full navigation on city streets. Navigation on autopilot is possible on major roads (H-1, H-2, H-3), but once your car navigates the exits off these roads, it will no longer "navigate" on auto pilot. The "autosteer" function of the autopilot will work on many non-highway (2-lane) roads, but it will NOT stop at stop signs, stop lights, etc. It will merely stay within it's lane and slow down for slower traffic in front of you. The autosteer function will struggle or will not work on many side roads that don't have clearly defined lane markers or have cars parked on the right side of the road.
Should I be concerned about COVID-19 when renting this car?
We all need to be hyper-aware and vigilent to avoid the spread of COVID-19. All surfaces inside and out will be disinfected prior to your arrival. Disinfectant wipes will also be included with the vehicle for your own use during your trip, and we would ask that your thoroughly disinfect all the commonly touched areas inside and outside of the car prior to turning the car back in. Even if you have pre-paid your cleaning charge to avoid having to clean the vehicle prior to turning it in, we would ask that you still disinfect the car prior to turning it in to further minimize the risk of COVID-19 spread. There will be a >24 hour break between each rental allowing disinfectants and cleaners to maximize their effects before new customers are allowed to drive the car.

John was a great host. His Model S was in mint condition, and he took his personal time before the start of my trip to help me get familiarized with its various driving functions and systems. Would absolutely reccomend renting this car to anyone interested in Teslas or looking for a fun and fast car for thier vacation.
Great doing business with you, Patrick! Glad you enjoyed the car as much as I do. I shot you a discount code if you ever want to rent it again. Thanks!!
