Hi everyone. I am very close to purchasing a model Y. Biggest concern is the ride. I was only able to test drive a 2022 build in HK. It is not confirmed by Tesla whether the 2023 Model Ys (right hand drive) exported from Shanghai to Australia, UK, and HK have the comfort suspension. We know...

I am considering the new model Y. My biggest concern is the suspension. HK roads are amongst the worst in the world and I would take comfort over aesthetics and handling any day of the week. I understand that Tesla has been upgrading the suspension to “comfort” suspension especially for the...

There is a lot of controversy over the decision the government made on FRT on Electric Vehicles - they clawed this back on the argument on congestion. But I actually think the government should put new vehicles into different bands based on emmissions. The current FRT system works like this...

Hi everyone, After several years of procrastination, I finally registered for Autotoll. I was aware that due to the thickness of the Tesla Model S windscreen, you were supposed to get this installed in the nose of the car. However, Autotoll issued me with a a sticker. I gave it to Tesla and...

Hi everyone, I raise this question to get a gauge with the level of customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction levels are typically high in North America, but I have a suspicion it may be much lower in Hong Kong due to service issues. Service issues matter more for a Tesla compared to...

Shortly after delivery of my car in Late October last year, we noticed a rattling noise coming from the headliner close to the front driver visor area. We took it back several times and eventually they fixed it. Only shortly after the noise came back but in a different area - headliner above...

Hi everyone, I am meeting Tesla's business development manager - Mr Julian de Jonquieres for a group Lunch on May 13. Julian is responsible for building partnerships with government, companies and utilities that make the ownership of electric vehicles as convenient as possible for Tesla...

Hi guys, I got a notification just now about a software update. I don't know what its about but its updating now. Anyone have any idea what it is? I am guessing they are bug fixes only.

One word: Supercharger network alliance. A big part of the attraction of owning a Tesla relative to other EVs is the ability to recharge at high speed in a relatively extensive network for free. Tesla didn't wait for governments to roll out high speed chargers and went ahead and did it...

It all went pair shaped once my windshield was damaged after a large nail dropped from an apartment on the 16th floor on my car. Luckily the contractor responsible for renovating that apartment agreed to pay for the windshield to be replaced. However, after we received the car back, we noticed...

Hi Guys, I am trying to figure out what the usual battery degradation is for Tesla batteries in Hong Kong. There was a study done in the US which concluded that the AVERAGE Tesla Roadster's battery retained 80-85% of its original capacity after 100,000 miles (or 160,000 kms). Other studies...

As Tesla gains popularity, I have noticed it is becoming more and more difficult to secure a free supercharger parking spot. Tesla needs to spend more money on getting additional slots in parking lots in order to meet demand. This can be expensive from a capital expenditure point of view...

Hi all, We picked the car up on Friday afternoon. Everything went smoothly apart from the fact that although my DS told me that the centre console would be installed, it wasn't and I had to wait 30-40min for it to actually be installed. Overall, I am very happy with it but I will give a list...

Hi everyone, So I pick up my 70D this Friday. I am currently in the process of organizing my music collection on USB (given that the Model S doesn't recognise iPod) So, for Instance: Take an Album: Now That's What I Call Music! 85. Comes with 2 discs and is Various Artists. I set up a...

Hi guys, I think if anyone is running a fleet of vehicles that do a lot of km every year, EVs start making financial sense compared to ICE vehicles. Most personal Tesla owners probably do less than 15k or 10k km per year. However, if you are running a fleet of premium vehicles, the cars could...

Hi everyone, One of my concerns with the Model S is the sheer lack of interior storage. So I ordered the premium centre console. I read on the internet that there have been numerous quality issues with it. Has anyone in HK had it installed? If so, what has been your view regarding the...

1) Hong Kong and Norway have the highest gasoline prices in the world 2) Despite having high gasoline costs, they both have normal electricity prices by global standards 3) High GDP per capita 4) Effectively high incentives to purchase electric cars (HK has zero FRT and low liscence fee...

This is a cool feature in US cars. Does it exist for Hong Kong? Are Tesla considering some kind of Spotify native app? Btw, just ordered my 70D on the weekend and am super excited.

Hi all, After the announcement made by the HK Govt that Electric Cars will remain FRT exempt until March 2017, I am now much more seriously considering ordering a Tesla Model S. One question I have is on the battery which has an 8 year warranty and is expected to last around 10 years. The...
