Anyone have any thoughts on buying a a type 2 charging cable in southern Australia? I've bought a 5 pin 32 amp tail for my UMC but seeing a fair few BYO type 2 chargers around. I’m wondering if longer term owners find them useful when owning a M3 in Oz?

Hi All I’m looking for a recommendation for a company that can do a decent job of a paint protection wrap on the front of my M3 , when it comes. Anywhere in Melbourne would be good, preferably someone who’s got experience with Teslas.

I’m coming back to Australia to live after a while away and I’m thinking of bringing my MS 2014 back. I’m interested if anyone has experience of getting comprehensive insurance on a grey import MS? Can anyone recommend a company that’s worth talking to about insurance?

My MS shows either typical or rated range, typical being my real world range. Quite useful. Can someone tell me how the M3 software works in this regard? Do you have the option to select the type of range that is displayed?

I'm wondering if anyone can comment on how effective the air conditioning is in the M3? Those of us in hot parts of the world will be looking for fast and effective cooling. Personally, I like a blast of cool air to the face when I get in the car when it's 40°c outside. Where are the vents...

So I get back to my car after it being idle and plugged in for 24 hours at work. It's hot. I unplug and get in the car and the screens come to life....I turn the aircon onto LO to cool the car down quickly. Then I notice I'm in valet mode for some reason so I reboot the main screen and it...

Disappointed in Tesla. I'm an early adopter having had a MS since 2014. I've had numerous services, probably 10 in all, for warranty issues. Now my screen is in need of replacing and they refuse to even consider a loan car at all. This is despite being prepared to wait as long as it takes...

"At the request of the Hong Kong Transport Department, the milk frothing function of the glovebox espresso machine has been disabled. The Hong Kong Transport Department has determined that cappuccinos and lattes have no bearing on the drivability of the car and therefore should not be offered in...

I have an annoying possible loose crew rolling around the rear of the car when I corner. I think it's inside the rear lift gate but I'm not sure. Does anyone have experience of this? How do I remove the lift gate fittings to have a look?

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to their car or the Tesla website? I have had no luck for the last 20 minutes on multiple Internet connections.

The Hong Kong authorities have forced Tesla Hong Kong to remove the autopilot functionality of v7. This is from the Transport Department that removed the browser as they, with their 1866km of roads, know better than the rest of the world. Unelected officialdom. So today Tesla did a software...

Was at a supercharger today and when I turned up I had the usual 5 minute wait to unlock my charge port door. While I was waiting 2 others turned up and both couldn't open their charge port door as well. This thing should work the instant the open button is pressed.

I was wondering if anyone has applied Scotchguard to the fabric parts of the leather seats in the Model S. I'm specifically referring to the alacantara material. I'd like to do this but I'm a bit afraid to without hearing from someone who has done it first!

Sorry that should be a ? I am aware of this but I have been told the transport department head has said it will end for EV's as well. Has anyone seen this in the local press? http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/environmentinhk/air/prob_solutions/environment_friendly_private_cars.html

I have 2 question some here may have the answer to... I tried to use one of the EV Power charging units at the Sai Kung Govt offices yesterday and though it was showing ready to use, I could not get it to work with my car. Has anyone successfully used these charge boxes? The other question is...

I have noticed condensation in my headlights, just at the bottom of the light on the glass. When I took it into the service center I was told its ok to have some moisture however I'm not convinced. Has anyone dealt with this problem before?

I was playing around with the "talk" button on the steering wheel today and I noticed at if it was held down it wanted to record my voice. Does anyone have any idea about what this is all about? I know there are voice commands on the car but I can find nothing in the manual.

Just wondering....my vehicle is still showing in the queue for production however my DS says it was finished production this week? Has anyone experienced this sort of DS/Dashboard discrepancy before? It's not a big deal, just wondering.

Someone had to ask. Any comments about whether the Premium Center Console fits the iPhone 6 models? Any Apple employees tried it out? It it would be a bit of a disaster if it didn't...

To all you lucky new owners, I'm wondering what service plan or program does Tesla have in HK? Is there ranger service and car replacement? If you breakdown on the Lantau freeway, for example, what do they do to help?

Hi everyone. I am close to getting my VIN and reviewing my options. Does someone have a nice close up HD photo of the non-Nappa door panels? I'd also appreciate seeing a nice close up of the fabric roof lining. Unfortunately none available to see here yet. Thanks.

I'm curious about whether there would be interest in a backup or extra battery in the frunk you could be put in on long trips to supplement the range. Surely Tesla would have a market for this? It could be simple, no new wiring, just pull over and run your UMC from the frunk to the plug port...

Our glorious "democratically" elected leaders in Hong Kong have decreed that the Web Browser will not be available for us plebs who ordered the Model S. I would be interested in your opinions about how this would affect your user experience of the Model S based on your usage... Thanks

A friend of mine with a new Audi A5 mentioned that he paid a 100% tax on his options when he got the vehicle. It led me to wonder whether the FRT waiver includes options purchased as well. Does anyone know the answer?

http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/29671-RHD-model-pictures Things are getting closer! RHD photos at the above link in the UK forum. According to what I was told the RHD should be in HK by now

Wondering if anyone has heard that Mobile Connectors are being eliminated in favour of a thermally protected Wall Unit? Some Hong Kong buyers have been told this by Tesla. Though it is not confirmed the implication is that you will no longer be able to charge by a standard 13A wall power point...

Went by the Tsuen Wan showroom twice in the last week to show the car to a friend and it was shuttered. Anyone know what the story is?

With people experiencing battery life degradation that frustrates them I'm wondering how many of you would prefer to lease a battery on a monthly basis instead of buy? I would, because you could always return the battery to Tesla at the end of the lease and get a new one. They could recycle it...

I'd like to hear opinions and see some photos of interiors of both types of headliners. Im trying to free up money to "maybe" get a pano roof or a second charger. I ordered alcantara but I actually haven't see what the textile interior looks like as there are no examples in Hong Kong yet. Photos...

Yes i did it backwards, bought first, drive second, like many of us. My impressions. Very nice handling. Mindblowing acceleration, a bit like pulling G's in aerobatics. It's a really big car for Hong Kong, will occasionally limit you with some parking spots. Interior could be a lot better...

Hi Would some one who has a Blue with Tan interior please post, or link me to a post, with that colour combination please? I just ordered it for delivery to Hong Kong and would like to see it. Thanks

If any of you are interested I requested to buy the premium console and received the following. I asked if it would be delivered already installed, as I an expecting 3rd quarter delivery, and they said we will if it's ready in time.

http://nickjhowe.com/tesla/modelsguide.html I though people here would be interested in this Tesla Model S buyers guide that was posted in another forum. It has some good info, particularly regarding the battery. They show that the real kilo wattage available is considerably less that...

Does anyone know where we can get a paint protection film, much like the demo car in the showroom has?

Has anyone had a quote on the cost of putting a 40 amp charging power point at their home? I live in a Village house so I have the room for a charger in my carports. My plan is charge at home almost all the time. Any comments on a 60kw/h car with a 100km drive everyday?
