lx3h, With the Lok Fu Estate one, I specified "on Junction Road" because it's different from the UNY car park also at Lok Fu. The UNY one is further up the hill closer to the mall and the MTR station. The one I was referring to has its exit on Junction Road, diagonally opposite from Bishop...

Sun Chui Estate Car Park Google Maps AVOID! The hourly car park has very tight ramps. I was millimeters away from scratching my car. Hourly parking spots were supposedly on the 4/F and 5/F and just going up the ramp to 1/F was bad enough. I cannot fathom doing the same thing a few more...

A couple to add: Ka Tin Court Car Park Google Maps Entry and exit wider than I expected. The parking spaces themselves were quite narrow. I had to get out from the passenger side but still OK. Lok Fu Estate Car Park (on Junction Road) Google Maps The opposite of the above. Entry and exit...

I am also on HK Island. I used Wing Hung Water & Electric Engineering Co. who can be reached at 9459 9743. FWIW, they are a small mom and pop store (their "company" address is actually a residential address) so I'm not sure they speak English.

My understanding is that which update you get is tied to your VIN number.

Silverbird, in your case, there is no contention or inconsistency. Your second charger was installed at the factory (before the change) and at the time, the cost was HK$11,500. That means your car was imported into Hong Kong with the second charger, and accordingly, it was reported to Customs...

cyrushk, you're not understanding me. Yes, it's listed there but it doesn't apply. Your car was imported into Hong Kong with a single charger only. There are plenty of other options on the PRP that don't necessarily apply to your car (e.g. you got 19" wheels; the 21" wheels don't apply to your...

I could be completely wrong, but I would have thought the Customs & Excise Department cares about the value of the car when it was imported into Hong Kong. As markwj points out, Tesla (US) made a change that all cars leaving the factory would be single charger only. If a customer wanted...

It's "normal" as it's just physics. At a given volume (the tire), when temperature falls, pressure falls. As for the correct pressure, it's written on the label near the driver door. (Open the door, and look down towards the car body.) If I remember correctly, 21" should be 42 psi, but I...

Elon Musk has said before that he is open to allowing other manufacturers use Tesla's supercharger network as long as the other manufacturers are willing to share in the capital costs. Elon won't make things "exclusive". Or else why would he open source his patents??

And I suspect (a guess on my part) that to save face, it won't be a straightforward one-sided approval from the government. They will probably want Tesla to do (display a warning? Disable some functionality?) or prove something before they give the final go-ahead.

7.0 was held up because of TD, not Tesla. So I don't see how the release of 7.1 in other countries means it will be released in HK soon. Are any of the garage doors in HK HomeLink-enabled?

When I say my car is pre-autopilot, I mean my car doesn't even have the hardware sensors. My car was delivered in Sept 2014.

I have a pre-autopilot car and I do have 7.0. There was a small window of time between when Tesla rolling out 7.0 and TD stopping the rollout. Tesla was made to downgrade autopilot cars but for pre-autopilot cars, there was no need or reason to do so.

To summarize then, If you don't care much about sound, DON'T get the upgrade. If you don't have high quality source material (lossless or very high bitrate MP3 files), then DON'T get the upgrade. If you care about sound, have high quality source materials, but don't want to deal with...

I don't think anyone doubts the economics and, sorry to burst your bubble, you aren't the first person to think of this business model. All I'm pointing out is that your business can't get off the ground LEGALLY because of regulatory restrictions, i.e. the pre-requisite of a hire car permit...

Please see here: Transport Department - Hire Car Permits Limo is one type of permit, so yes, the cars under limo service do (or shall I say, they SHOULD have the permits). InvestHK supported Uber's launch in Hong Kong because the original idea was that the Uber cars would be those with the...

It's not just a matter of differentiating against the taxi. To operate commercially, you need a hire car permit (from Transport Department, I think). This is almost impossible to get. That's what got some Uber drivers arrested this year. From the Government's perspective, a person can't just...

First of all, congratulations! There are too many variables to give you an estimate here. Cost ranges from $5,000 to $30,000+. Depends on how long of a cable run you have to do, whether there is sufficient capacity in your mains box, whether you need a separate electricity meter etc. Ask...

Every time I go for their car wash, they ask me for a "card", which I never got. Did you get it? What is it for?

Sorry, I don't know. But just PM them on Facebook. The owner has a Model S himself, so they should know the car well.

I used Pomponazzi. I got it almost exactly 11 months ago and was charged HK$8,200 (I believe prices have gone up quite considerably since). I was very happy with it at the beginning. I have a dark blue car, which makes swirls very visible. Immediately after the coating, the paint color was...

I have a pre-autopilot car and I have 7.0 (I guess I was lucky to have updated it before they took it down). Both the circular dial and the image of the car are visible on the dash display. The car image may look a bit gimmicky but it does serve some purpose in my book: I always used to wonder...

Although I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, I believe a key decision factor is the quality of your source material. If you mostly listen to the radio and lossy MP3s, then the upgrade isn't going to be worth it. In fact, some high-quality HiFi components (not sure the Tesla upgrade can...

Tesla has gone on the record that they make money by selling cars, not by after-sales servicing. At least in Hong Kong, that seems to be true, as AFAIK, they still are not charging for the annual servicing! Of course, it's not like they do much as part of the servicing anyway!

AM18U and AM28U. I got them from Amazon UK. GBP35 for both including shipping. I understand (but cannot confirm) that the service centre now uses these. (For context, I got them because my car is one of the early pre-autopilot ones, and the wipers that came with those cars were horrible. The...

There's some footage from last year here: Tesla Motors Club Hong Kong 2014 Rally - YouTube

Great, thanks for registering! Looking forward to meeting you too! This is a rally not a race. (You will hear this phrase repeated many times at the briefing.) Each car will be numbered and you are expected to follow the car in front of you. If we do get stuck in traffic, we'll view it as...

FYI, if you don't need the wall connector, you can ask Tesla to swap it out for their UMC or the Mennekes 13A adaptor. The latter is sold at $3,700 so you can get a sense for how much your wall connector is worth (i.e. probably not the sum you are asking for).

If you tag your files accordingly, the system does index as appropriate (by artist, album etc.) You can also simply browse by folder.

Try Advan Shop. They've done a few Teslas before. I conversed with the guy over Facebook Messenger for some time and his English was pretty good. https://www.facebook.com/advanshophk On the higher end, there is also ReinART Design ReinART.Design

No, you are referring to United Centre. Queensway Government Offices is up on the hill next to the Island Shangri-La.

Thanks lx3h. Do we know whether there has been an uptick in EV as a percentage of new cars registered? I think markwj mentioned earlier this year that it was one in 10? I ask because from TD's perspective, an EV is better than an ICE, but it's still an additional private car on the road. They...

The problem with the above business plan is exactly what Uber into trouble. It's almost impossible to get a hire car permit from the Transport Department.

The interface does recognize metadata (at least it does with my FLAC files). But in the worst case scenario, you can always use your own system and then search by folder.

All this sounds a bit like my car, except it's kind of the "opposite" of what is described. What happened was I took my car to Pomponazzi, and they were very critical of Tesla's paintwork. In particular, after what Pomponazzi claimed to be a "light wash", the top layer of the paint came off...

Tesla is generally aware, I think. The final price I paid for my repair actually came out slightly less than the ballpark estimate the Tesla service advisor gave me.

Sorry to hear about the scratch. I had such a painful experience myself earlier this year. As for the difference in costs, this is quite common in Hong Kong (is this your first car?) Bringing your car back to the authorized dealer almost always costs 2-3 times (perhaps even more) than going to...

About three weeks on the ship and another 2-3 weeks preparation in HK. Plus, the DSs have now learned to manage expectations.

Yes the DS will try to manage your expectations but they are doing that from experience. Delivery is often met with delays and much of it is out of the hands of Tesla HK. The other thing is: we are told My Tesla is updated manually. It is not necessary a genuine reflection of what is happening...

Are they Tesla owners themselves? And why don't you ask Tesla directly?

I did not finance my car so my answer is by no means authoritative. Nevertheless, this is the first time I've heard that the buyback is not in cash. Are your friends Tesla owners themselves? If not, why trust their answers? Why don't you ask Tesla or ORIX directly?

I haven't been to either of those car parks in the Model S but have done so previously in my BMW 3 series. Man Yee is VERY tight at the entrance. I wouldn't try it in my Model S. The Center is great - very wide at the entrance/exit as well as the parking spaces. The reason though that I haven't...

My take (and I think markwj agrees) is that Tesla will deliver a Model X in Q3 (or whatever the latest announced timeframe is) no matter what. It would take something REALLY big and unexpected for Tesla to miss that deadline. I don't think there's much uncertainty around that. We know they...

Yes, they do pick-up and delivery. You have to ask for it, but it's usually possible. Loaner is more difficult, but still possible -- may need to wait a few days/weeks until one is available.

Continentals (ContiSportContact 5, I believe, though I think there were also some ExtremeContact DWs) have always come with the 21" wheels. I've never heard of Continentals being used on the 19" wheels. While it's always possible that a change was made, I'm a bit skeptical of the response you...

lx3h previously confirmed that a P85D just delivered in Hong Kong on Monday got Michelin PS3s with the standard 19" wheels. Do you mean PS3s are for P85Ds only, and all other models get Michelin Primacy's (even if the wheels are the same)?

Oops, no, DITB's is silver.

I drive a 60. Range: Like you, I have home charging. I have only worried about range one time, and that was for our rally last December. I drove 193km (including from home to the starting point, and to dinner after the rally) and I "only" used 34.7kwh. I can't see how range would be an issue...

I used Pomponazzi, and I have a dark-colored car (the old blue), so I'm not sure my car is a good reference point. But for what it's worth, Pomponazzi made my car look in some ways darker, but adds a layer of shine. Those may sound a bit contradictory, but here goes anyway: the paint...
