Has anybody noticed the large “Game Update” downloads that came along with the latest software update? In my case, they came after the main SW update (2021.44.5), about 3-4 separate packages, totaling >4GB in size. Is there any way to disable these, I wonder? Seeing as we can’t access them...

Anyone out there trying to reach Tesla HK Service hotline (any location) and not able to connect with anyone? Have called a couple of locations and nobody picks up, and can’t even leave a voicemail, VM mailbox full. Any idea what’s going on? I mean I know you can book service appts through...

Now I, for one, am simply delighted that Tesla, in its latest string of v9 updates, took the time, care, and effort in quality assurance, to incorporate a hyper-realistic Yule Log for us, alongside stalwart Atari classics such as Centipede. It is sure to provide hours of soothing enjoyment...

Yes, there are some less-than-stellar reviews for Rapid Auto on FB, and that did give us pause. But they seemed to be with installs on other makes/models (Mercs & what have you), so we decided to give them a chance anyway. And they did a perfectly good job.

That's what I thought at first too, but actually, I found that if you scroll up to the top of the recordings list (on the app), and drag down to refresh, it actually does work and loads more. Do that enough times and you can actually go back as far as you want. Do agree though that this isn't...

Have been running with the iRoad V9 for the past week -- it is excellent. Front/rear HD capture, ~7h capacity, low profile unit, very sleek, fully automatic capture with different modes (driving / carpark / motion detect), super clean install w/ no visible wires, and maybe best of all, a...

Just takes some getting used to. Certainly took me awhile to get used to the rhyme & reason of it, as it isn't always immediately obvious. Generally, I find double white lines are there to help merging traffic from encroaching. Given the narrowness of many of our roads and compressed merging...

Hi Folks, I'm sure there are other threads which cover this, so my apologies up front for any redundancy. Seems like it's been awhile though since it's been discussed, so maybe this can serve as a good update for new(ish) Tesla HK owners in the market for a solid dash cam setup. Make/model...

Release notes are identical to the one I posted earlier (somewhere in this thread). Exactly the same wording re calendar being removed and Tesla working w TD to restore the functionality. So what this probably means is that the people in charge of managing and pushing HK Tesla software updates...

A positive service story to share. Brought my late 2015 Model S in for service on June 30 (day before the holiday) to fix the driver's side seat adjustment motor, which had recently croaked. I had made the appointment in early June. The service center had initially wanted to give me a slot in...

No doubt, and really, that's fine. I just question the decision to communicate the message via software update. I mean, this update didn't remove the calendar -- it had already been removed weeks ago. The update didn't contain a single ounce of substance, aside from that message. I mean, I...

HK Tesla Software Update stupidity strikes again! Tesla thought that the above message was important enough to push it to us by way of a software update. I appreciate the message, I really do, but did they really need to push a software update to do it? A software update which effectively...

Sure it is. They as much said so in their response to media enquiry on 8 June. "The above requirements were made having regard to driving safety considerations."

Some TD contacts: Ingrid Yeung, Commissioner for Transport. Tel No: 2829 5200 Fanny Hui, Principal Information Officer (head of the Information and Public Relations Unit) 2829 5222 Office of the Ombudsman - www.ombudsman.hk/en-us/contact_us.html

Quite possibly the single stupidest software update of all time. For anybody out there who hasn't had the joy of installing this golden nugget of nanny-state nincompoopery, behold:
