    Imagine one day in Hong Kong....

    Just need to close down every real estate agent and change it into a charging / parking station.

    Hall of Shame-- Supercharger Parking Over Time (SPOT)

    I think it will require a solution that needs less input from the car that is already charging. Unfortunately HK attitudes are more towards the selfish. Maybe Tesla could add some charge complete indicators on their SC. When charge completes, you also get a notification on your phone. If...

    Tire pumps at Tesla Super Chargers?

    Put a small locker at the SC. Leave some handy tools for Tesla owners. Share the locker combo amongst owners only. Might work in some countries. I heard in Japan, they actually have small sheds filled with tools for night time road racers to use. Always unlocked and open to the public and...

    Adding a Fridge to your Model S

    I think its worth the slight fan noise. Also you can take these out with you. So if you go for a picnic, even unplugged, they can help keep drinks insulated.

    This 1 is funny. Saw a Tesla MS going into shell.

    They were at the right place because they were out of petrol...:tongue:

    Adding a Fridge to your Model S

    Oh exactly the type of thing im looking for or something like this one to put in the trunk http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q753B8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

    Aftermarket Subwoofer?

    Does anyone sell the subwoofer enclosure without the speaker? i.e. just the empty shell? I'm interested in getting one for both sides of the trunk, but I need to ship overseas, so having a sub pre-installed increases my shipping costs dramatically.

    Features u wish to add to MS

    This actually may not be impossible to fix. Door cards are relatively easy to remove and replace. Maybe some aftermarket designer can come up with a better design.

    Where in HK do you live?

    Yes.. It's a shame so many people decided to look at the thread but didn't want to spend an extra mouse click to vote. It would have been very useful information for us to use to ask Tesla or the government to install chargers in certain areas. But based on the current results, the saturation...

    Where in HK do you live?

    Just wanted to get some numbers on roughly where each Tesla owner lives. It might explain where Tesla puts their Superchargers They limit this to 15 options max, so sorry if your area is not listed clearly enough. Please leave a comment if you feel we need to break down an area further. That...

    Where Would You Suggest Tesla To Build Their Supercharging Stations In Hong Kong?

    I wonder how hard it would be to make a multicharger.. One that supports supercharger as well as the other standard charger plugs. If Tesla could design one of those, then I think the Government would be much more happy to discuss installing them at Government carparks, public facilities like...

    Purchasing Dilemma

    If its a flat out luxury / comfort comparison, Tesla still has a way to go. The finish, comfort and build quality are improving, but still not as good as a Benz. That's the truth. No honest comparison could show otherwise. (Maybe if you compare an A or a C Class but this guy has an E). But...

    Hong Kong Driving Style

    I think it is probably better to indicate too much rather than not at all. In Happy Valley you can easily see that 9 out of 10 cars wont indicate when turning. Very dangerous for pedestrians. Also as a drive in the car following someone, if you indicate, I'll know you will be slowing down to...

    Hong Kong Driving Style

    So True! At first I thought that maybe they do small street signs because they worry about large signs being dangerous during typhoons... But after a while I realised that not only are the signs small, but they are almost always placed too late or too far down the road to be useful!

    Restrictions on Hong Kong Model S spec

    I was chatting to a traffic cop in HK once about dash cams and such. Having the cam display too prominent can be illegal as it is a distraction. The conversation then went to GPS devices. Also technically illegal unless in a non distracting place. Then he kind of said.. yeah its messed up...

    HK roads and 21" rims

    Thanks for the feed back. I might stick with the 21" that I ordered.

    HK roads and 21" rims

    My biggest concern is cracked rims. So many huge potholes around.

    HK roads and 21" rims

    Hi every one, How many people have gone for the 21" rims and what has been your experience? I've for the 21" rims and smart suspension options on my P85D but am considering changing it. Are the roads very bumpy with the 21"? HK has so many pot holes and poor road surfaces.

    !!! White Tesla Roadster Crashed in Hong Kong!!!

    Wow.. I really want to know how that happens.. It's like they decided to not use their brakes at all. You would have to be going really fast and hit a stationary truck. Maybe distracted playing on their phone or something?

    Paint Protection

    Cool.. Looks like selected coverage is a good way to go then. 12k vs 42k. Big savings.

    Paint Protection

    Hi Lerxt Do you notice any difference in the panels between the panels that are covered with xpel and the ones without? Do they get dirty faster, does dust or rain stick to it differently etc?

    P85D Delivery

    I didn't get a call, but I emailed them to ask and they called me back. I emailed to ask if the seats are the reason my car is delayed from May to August. They said it is not the reason. Also even if the image on the "My Tesla" design shows next gen fron and normal rear seats, I will get Next...

    Next Gen Seats gone

    Hi Everyone. Who has the next gen seats ordered for their car? I saw the thread in the main forum about the seats for the rear being removed from their design. I checked my online order and saw that the photo of the seats now show the old style bench rear seats. Anyone else in HK notice...

    New Executive Rear Seats

    Looks nice. Seems to be trying to fight for the sales to owners who have a driver. Not sure it's going to be widely appealing since you lose a seat and also the ability to fold down the rear seats. I still think they should design a centre console that can clip into the ISOfix clips that are...

    Hong Kong Traffic Rules, Customs and Culture

    I've noticed that the learner drivers never seem to exceed walking speed when learning. How is that safe? Once they pass their drivers test they are allowed to drive at full speed on highways and such. There is a big difference in driving at 20kph and 80-100kph. I've heard that most of the...

    P85D Delivery

    I got an email from my Tesla "Delivery Experience Specialist" yesterday saying that the car will be delivered August - September. So now from May to September. 4 months extra delay. So I replied to him asking very clearly about what has happened and what reasons there are behind such a delay...

    P85D Delivery

    I wonder what options he chose? Can you ask if he selected the next gen seats?

    Parking with auto-leveling suspension

    A good way to get use to the margin/space you have left when parking... Stick a small balloon to the lower end of the bumper and if you hear it pop then you stop. I had a friend do this when they got their first lowered sports car. A few tries and they had got to the point where they could...

    Model S rally

    Great story. I wish I could have joined. Can't wait till next year!. By the way, did the winners of the most efficient energy usage guys get a TPMS system? I would love to know how that is working for them.

    Stains on roof

    Try to use a clay bar to remove the stain. If that doesn't work then maybe need to do a full polish. Good luck.

    P85D Delivery

    From what I gather, there are 2 issues that are causing the delays. 1. the dock strike in California, making supplies unreliable 2. the new seats are faulty Not sure how long both problems will take to fix. Hopefully they can sort it out quickly.

    P85D Delivery

    I'm actually quite bummed out about the extra delay. I was really looking forward to having a new car in time for my birthday. I'm also a little bit worried my current car will not last. I've been having more and more costly repairs lately. Sigh...

    P85D Delivery

    Ahh dammit. since last night it changed from late may to August. 3 Month additional delay. How can they do that!!! ARGGGGGGGHHHHH!! I need to replan my current schedule to sell my existing car.

    P85D Delivery

    I ordered mine early December I think. The store said I had 14 days to change options. When I went on the website that same day, I saw that you could lock in your options. I clicked it and my delivery date moved up from July/August to late May. It it also asked me to accept terms. I...

    Anyone didn't opt the Ultra HiFi Sound System?

    MY thinking on the situation is: I've gone for the upgraded sound with the hopes of it sounding good enough to not need much additional work. Also, having the upgraded sound, hopefully will mean that the car has stand alone amps and other wiring which I can more easily install upgrades on...

    Rear Entertainment Console - Installed

    Looks like the console could be held in place using the ISOfix points. That's going to be very secure but still removable when you need to fold down the rear seats Someone needs to design this now!

    Hong Kong Model S audio upgrades and the internet radio servie

    I got the Ultra high fidelity sound from Tesla, but I was planning to put some additional upgrades into it. I've put a fair effort into my current car and it sounds much better than the tesla demo car (sound deadening, DSP, subwoofer and speaker upgrades as well as a few amplifiers). Hopefully...

    Hong Kong Model S audio upgrades and the internet radio servie

    Hi Everyone, I'm still waiting for my P85D, but I am already planning to upgrade the audio system. (I already ordered the upgraded audio, but more is always better). Has anyone upgraded their audio system in their car? Where did you go to do it? I'm interested to find someone who can do a...
