iPhones all made in China but still touted for their premium quality speaks in volume that a foreign brand shouldn't blame China for shoddy "Made in China" quality, they should only blame themselves for not managing it properly or worse, in many cases intentionally cutting corners for cost...

I recently had a very similar scrape/ding on exactly the same spot on my car, which also happens to be MC Red. Took it to a TSLA authorized body shop, no need for a new panel, just simple repair and repaint that took less than a week and set me back by 700 USD. Now good as new. I'm in Hong...

What I said is not at odds with your comments at all. My whole point is MS' interior is no inferior than the mid of the range German makes, rather, it might even be a little bit better. It's got less luxurious look or touch than their range topping S/7/Panamera, but would I trade the 17 inch...

There is the rest of the world outside the US. S makes and sells S280 and S300 (4 cylinders) in many countries in the "rest of the world". These "faint heart" S are cheaper than 70D, but still S Class. A "class" always comprises a wide range of variants, so I find nothing wrong to put MS and S...

I find it very incomprehensible that lots of people claim E or 5 or A6/7 has more luxurious interior or better finish than MS. Have these people even sat in the latest fully optioned MS? I have a P85D with premium interior package, next-gen front seats and executive back seats. And yes, I drove...

Agreed, other great examples of lasting aesthetics include Aston Martin and Porsche 911. In sharp contrast, Mercedes and Lexus have lately brought out some progressively uglier designs. Just look at the recent 2-3 iterations of E-class and IS/GS. The body design is so overdone that they already...

Please check out the link I attached in my post, comparing the semi autonomous or driving assistance functions across many brands (unsurprisingly Tesla came out head and shoulders ahead). The point is many household makes, Infiniti, MB etc have implemented very similar functions in their cars...

How does TD justify blocking Tesla's autopilot while apparently allowing the far inferior similar functions from many other brands?

IMHO, anything below the top-of-the-line German models has crappy interior, that included E/5/A6, large swathes of cheap plastic and ridiculously small screen reminding me of old days PDA, cheap seat leather too. Latest MS with the premium interior package beats them easily if putting aside the...

saw this post on TMC Tesla Auto-Pilot Best Available in Comparison | Forums | Tesla Motors we're being deprived of the best driving assistance function in the industry by self-righteous Hong Kong transportation department. how much longer do we have to put up with their red herring? any petition...

leave communist out of this, mainland China doesn't ban Tesla's autopilot.

no indication how soon the approval from HK transportation department can be obtained and the temporary ban be lifted, the communication from TSLA only says "soon".................

This is exactly what I encountered, P sign on the instrument panel, blue start button on the center screen, but that is it, nothing takes place after the blue start button is pressed, even though the screen marks the parking spot it has identified with solid lines.

For a few times, I had the auto parking successfully identify a spot, but after I put the gear into reverse and pressed "start" button on the central screen, nothing happened, the car simply sat still doing nothing whatsoever. I did manage to get it work flawlessly from beginning to end some...

likely TM is rolling back the firmware in HK due to the govt warning, I got another "update" push today after installing 7.0 almost a week ago, suspecting it's the rollback, I decided to ignore it. So if you haven't got the update, you may not get it after all, not until the issue with govt is...
