    Worn frayed seat belts warranty?

    BosHK - how did this get resolved? I brought my 2014 Model S into the HK service center today and awaiting an answer from them. There was a service bulletin back in 2015 to fix the front seat belts for squeaking by installing a plastic guide on the trim where the belt comes out of the car...

    The 1st 8 Cameras Dash Cam (DVR) installed on a Tesla

    Ian, Contact Jerry at the number above. Country code for HK is +852. One of the HK Tesla owners who has this system also installed four of these units on his own in the US. If you are comfortable removing panels on your car and basic car wiring it isn't that difficult but is time consuming...

    The 1st 8 Cameras Dash Cam (DVR) installed on a Tesla

    It does not have motion detectors however none are needed for this solution. It is on 24 hours which effectively acts as car surveillance as well as the parking lot. I haven't turned it off in months except to change SD cards. A motion detector could be wired up, but the latency between the...

    Man Down!

    General rule of thumb used for trade ins is 50% of the cost of the repair is diminished value. A $5k repair would have an additional $2.5k of diminished value. Total claim is $7.5k. YMMV

    Best place to hook to 12v in the frunk area?

    If you use a tap a fuse on the glove box light circuit you can have always on 12v. The glove box light circuit is always "on". For export cars it is fuse 47. Not sure of US cars however it should be obvious if you look at the manual on the 17" screen fuse locations. If you want a circuit...

    Comments on HD Audio

    I'm using a Samsung SSD with a hub from Amazon (Unitex USB 3.0 6 ports with 2 charging ports). I know that Tesla only has USB 2.0, however, this was a hub with powered ports supplied by an external power supply. I made a cable that plugs into the 12v power socket by the Tesla's USB ports to...

    Those of you who don't get charging facility at home, how do you charge your Tesla?

    It's Yau Ma Tei Carpark building. When searching on the maps use intersection of Kansu street and Market Street. If you search for Yau Ma Tei carpark building sometimes the instructions will take you on Highway 5 which runs through the middle of the building. As well as kilometers out of your...

    Comments on HD Audio

    Wayner, We do not have Spotify here in HK. We use the tunein subscription supplied with the car. Which sounds worse than most MP3s. I do not know the stream rate for this service here. We also have lots of dropouts here in HK with losing the signal. I primarily use the internet radio for...

    MingMan, Regarding the Ultra High Fidelity Sound System. It depends on your music source. If you plan on listening to high quality sources then the premium sound system is worth it. For example, you will be using the USB ports and music recorded in a lossless format like FLAC. If you will be...

    Comments on HD Audio

    Komills23, Great summary on getting HD music to play on your MS. It is worth the effort to go through this conversion to get the most out of the premium sound system. I followed a similar path except most of my music was in already in FLAC format. Currently using a 500 GB SSD and will upgrade...

    P85D : The chrome window trim on the front isn't aligned with the trim on the rear

    Hiroshiy, I have a similar issue with my car in HK. I noted the misalignment of this piece around the window when my car was delivered in October (the first batch of non-sig RHD cars after the factory start up last August). Tesla is replacing this piece again for me. This is one big piece of...

    Retrofit Premium Interior Lighting?

    I will be working on a friend's car late next week that doesn't have premium lighting and check the connections on his car in the doors.

    The 1st 8 Cameras Dash Cam (DVR) installed on a Tesla

    Joefee, A few thoughts on the front camera/switch. The front camera and wiring can be disconnected and the original wiring for the touchscreen restored to the original connections without the switch in about ten minutes on RHD cars and probably even faster on LHD cars. The switch module is...

    Retrofit Premium Interior Lighting?

    Caution: Backup Warning System Imperfect, Hood Design Creates Optical Illusion

    We have very narrow parking spots in HK with many garages having awkwardly placed columns that are hazards when turning the very wide Model S, parking or opening doors. It is not uncommon for most of us to let the passengers out before we park and then only the driver has to squeeze out of one...

    The 1st 8 Cameras Dash Cam (DVR) installed on a Tesla

    Hi Rubbertoe, In HK the parking spots and parking garage entrances are typically very narrow. Many of the parking ramps as well as the streets have high curbs that can inflict severe wheel rim rash if hit. This particular dash cam installation with full side views on both sides of the car...

    Those of you who don't get charging facility at home, how do you charge your Tesla?

    I live in East NT so KT is the nearest supercharger and there are a lot fewer charging points in this part of HK than Kowloon or HK Island. I am dependent on public charging for the foreseeable future. Summary is after the first few weeks of range and charging anxiety it becomes pretty easy to...
