    [On-Going] Model S-friendly & Best Car Park List

    lx3h, With the Lok Fu Estate one, I specified "on Junction Road" because it's different from the UNY car park also at Lok Fu. The UNY one is further up the hill closer to the mall and the MTR station. The one I was referring to has its exit on Junction Road, diagonally opposite from Bishop...

    [On-Going] Model S-friendly & Best Car Park List

    Sun Chui Estate Car Park Google Maps AVOID! The hourly car park has very tight ramps. I was millimeters away from scratching my car. Hourly parking spots were supposedly on the 4/F and 5/F and just going up the ramp to 1/F was bad enough. I cannot fathom doing the same thing a few more...

    [On-Going] Model S-friendly & Best Car Park List

    A couple to add: Ka Tin Court Car Park Google Maps Entry and exit wider than I expected. The parking spaces themselves were quite narrow. I had to get out from the passenger side but still OK. Lok Fu Estate Car Park (on Junction Road) Google Maps The opposite of the above. Entry and exit...

    Recommended Electrician to assess house for home charging?

    I am also on HK Island. I used Wing Hung Water & Electric Engineering Co. who can be reached at 9459 9743. FWIW, they are a small mom and pop store (their "company" address is actually a residential address) so I'm not sure they speak English.

    Software update Geo-IP restricted? How about updating on Lo Wu border?

    My understanding is that which update you get is tied to your VIN number.

    Dual Charger Pricing (Look at it if you are going to install it/ already installed)

    Silverbird, in your case, there is no contention or inconsistency. Your second charger was installed at the factory (before the change) and at the time, the cost was HK$11,500. That means your car was imported into Hong Kong with the second charger, and accordingly, it was reported to Customs...

    Dual Charger Pricing (Look at it if you are going to install it/ already installed)

    cyrushk, you're not understanding me. Yes, it's listed there but it doesn't apply. Your car was imported into Hong Kong with a single charger only. There are plenty of other options on the PRP that don't necessarily apply to your car (e.g. you got 19" wheels; the 21" wheels don't apply to your...

    Dual Charger Pricing (Look at it if you are going to install it/ already installed)

    I could be completely wrong, but I would have thought the Customs & Excise Department cares about the value of the car when it was imported into Hong Kong. As markwj points out, Tesla (US) made a change that all cars leaving the factory would be single charger only. If a customer wanted...

    Temperature Drop Tire Issues

    It's "normal" as it's just physics. At a given volume (the tire), when temperature falls, pressure falls. As for the correct pressure, it's written on the label near the driver door. (Open the door, and look down towards the car body.) If I remember correctly, 21" should be 42 psi, but I...

    What I would do if I was BMW/Audi/Mercedes on EVs

    Elon Musk has said before that he is open to allowing other manufacturers use Tesla's supercharger network as long as the other manufacturers are willing to share in the capital costs. Elon won't make things "exclusive". Or else why would he open source his patents??

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    And I suspect (a guess on my part) that to save face, it won't be a straightforward one-sided approval from the government. They will probably want Tesla to do (display a warning? Disable some functionality?) or prove something before they give the final go-ahead.

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    7.0 was held up because of TD, not Tesla. So I don't see how the release of 7.1 in other countries means it will be released in HK soon. Are any of the garage doors in HK HomeLink-enabled?

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    When I say my car is pre-autopilot, I mean my car doesn't even have the hardware sensors. My car was delivered in Sept 2014.

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    I have a pre-autopilot car and I do have 7.0. There was a small window of time between when Tesla rolling out 7.0 and TD stopping the rollout. Tesla was made to downgrade autopilot cars but for pre-autopilot cars, there was no need or reason to do so.

    Ultra Hi-Fi Sound Upgrade

    To summarize then, If you don't care much about sound, DON'T get the upgrade. If you don't have high quality source material (lossless or very high bitrate MP3 files), then DON'T get the upgrade. If you care about sound, have high quality source materials, but don't want to deal with...
