Were you able to get contact information on this repair shop?

I apologize if this is a very ignorant question (I'm a tesla Model X 2020 newbie). I reviewed the charging stations thread, the charging etiquette thread, the friendly car park google maps thread, and even Lee Gardens EV Section of their website (including their terms and conditions pdf). None...

This is another menu screen at Lee Garden car Park 3, it's a non-tesla Charging station.

This is the menu at Lee Gardens 3, non Tesla Charging Station.

Hi everyone! It FINALLY HAPPENED!!! I joined this forum 6yrs ago with the excitement of owning a Tesla. Unfortunately my dream suddenly died when i took a test drive and my wife didn't enjoy the experience at all in the S. I felt maybe there was a chance with in SUV as we have always had an...

I sometimes wonder why things like gov't motor bikes can't be converted to EV bikes? Sometimes I go running on and these small scenic roads with parks, trees, nice quite views, and everyone is biking or running/walking....And then these local govt vans/cars come trolling through with black...

do those limo companies have the permits?

Has anyone met or know any of the UBER Tesla drivers in Hong Kong? I'd love to speak to them.

I have been thinking about this for almost a year. I want to do this but I've been worried if its financially feasible. I can probably get 2-3 teslas (or maybe 2 teslas and an i3 BMW), and I have access to possibly 2 or maybe 3 parking spots. So besides the initial car purchase my costs are...

Great research! I also think UBER for Teslas is fantastic. What a great way to give exposure to the car. Sure people see them around, but have they experienced the beauty of the car? I don't think the UBER driver is going to waste time sitting around in a SC for hours. While they are...

I think she can introduce the Tesla car to a demographic that was not interested in the car before. Maybe there were some ladies out there that are not into sports cars or all geeky about technology, but Oprah introduces the car and gives her stamp of approval behind it and now it makes it a...

great job!!

In theory it definitely sounds like a very good thing, but my big brother red alarms are flashing everywhere. Technology like this can be abused and over-reach and I wouldn't want that. And recently this is off-topic but someone was telling me (and I did read a few articles) about Amber Alerts...

Are the middle seats on a manually track that you pull a lever and push to slide forward and backward to make room for the 3rd row passengers to get in? Or are the middle seats on a motorized track they you press a lever and the motor moves them up and down a track to make room for the 3rd row...

Is there going to be a live BonnieCam? From the moment she drives to pick up her Model X, to her maiden voyage, and throughout her Thanksgiving dinner.

I felt stress just watching that. Thank God I'm nowhere near that hellish experience.

I'm not in the exact same situation, but similar. I was dying to buy the S, I test drove it a couple times and fell in love and I wanted it more than anything. Yet my wife the ever practical one, said it doesn't suit the needs of our family and how often we have guests. Needing the...

You distract everyone while I go unplug the server, then we split dirkh's car usage between us. With range anxiety about to be solved I'm sure we can work something out. - - - Updated - - - Agreed, So they built this amazing car that can do 0-60 in 3 seconds and destroys the stereotype of...

I like the line of thinking though, for example if they did something with starwood hotels, that's 9 different chains: Sheraton, Westin, W etc. There's 700+ in North America alone. That would be an amazing partnership.

It's a positive review: "..The list of complaints is short and trivial. The smallish rear doors are a little tight for tall people, but there’s still plenty of room inside. The center console and doors could use some storage pockets. The cruise control display is confusing. The back seats...

In HK, I see lots of Police on Motor Bikes (petrol), I was walking through some parks last weekend and saw motor bikes (petrol) that had gov't logos on them. It means there is an entire fleet of gov't motor bikes on the roads. All the delivery guys drive around the Motor bikes (petrol). This...

HAHAHHAHA. I love this video. My son sent me this a few days ago and I've seen it's starting to make the "news" sites as well. Watch a Tesla P85D terrify passengers with | Motoramic - Yahoo Autos Warning there is a lot of cursing (Although I think this is the clean version) I'd love to...

I could hear it now, "Daddy! Do it again! Again! Again!"

I wonder how many of those new 500 EV's are Teslas, I think a big chunk of them. Everyone on this HK forum is seeing more and more Teslas daily. They are everywhere. One thing I'm wondering is I noticed in Shanghai a huge number of scooters are now EVs but I haven't seen that trend in HK...

One way to build awarness after Tesla arrives, is becoming a Tesla taxi driver if possible or even a Tesla Uber driver. Every time you pick up someone you have a story to tell about the amazing car they are sitting in.

During the Real Estate Bubble hey day of South Florida they were giving Ferraris away with condo purchases. Interesting someone switched to a Tesla. :)

I've stopped posting on this thread because I'm seeing 2 Teslas a day almost every day. They are everywhere not just a rare thing to see anymore. Although Saturday was the first time I saw 4 Teslas in one day! I was in Admiralty/Wan Chai/Happy Valley area. And last night I saw the coolest...

Some of the repair shops buy and sell cars as well, if you have a relationship with anyone of them give it a try. Also Asiaxpat and Geoxpat are good for that purpose.

Wow, and I thought seeing 2 per day was a lot.

I agree DITB. If you wait until you can read all the signage to know which lane you are supposed to be in...You are already too late. The only way to drive is to know which lane you are supposed to be in AHEAD OF TIME. If you are going someplace new and need the signage to direct you....odds...

Saw this one in the morning during my run.

That sounds like a good compromise.

When you walk up to the Tesla folks in Hong Kong and tell them straight up, "Where will I charge my car????? I'm not allowed to install a charger in my carpark." Tesla ensures you, "We are going to build SuperChargers for you!" It's not about FREE FUEL. You are COMPLETELY missing the point...

At this point do we know how many Model S's are in Hong Kong? I'm literally seeing 1 to 2 per day and they are not the same cars.

In my run on BOWEN road today, saw TWO Model S's coming down Wang Na Chung Gap road. One white one passed adventist hospital, the other was a beautiful burgundy color (signature?) coming down Wang Na Chung Gap. Amazing seeing 2 Teslas' within 1 hour of each other. 1 in the beginning of my run...

Our family came to the decision we can't compromise from an SUV to a sedan. That then eliminated the Model S, and our failing SUV was sold and we purchased another ICE SUV. We intend to keep the new ICE for approx 3 years. Knowing that HK is a year behind what happens in the states, the delay...

That is tame compared to what I've seen. The video did point out that Traffic lights and stop signs are basically optional, but the video shows things pretty calm and cautious. I've seen some insane stuff as others have pointed out. NYC has bad congestion but not roaming chaos.

As others have mentioned, Driving in China is DANGEROUS. People are crazy, they don't follow the rules. I remember being in a car in Beijing with a customer driving. We were in a four lane road on our 2 lanes were quite congested with traffic, while the other 2 lanes in the opposite direction...

Tmall is supposed to be strict about it's suppliers who sell on their website. Ideally it's supposed to be the brands selling their own product, or companies with papework to prove they are authorized to sell those brands on Tmall. They try really hard to make sure all sellers are authentic so...

Oh no! :eek: Hope everyone is OK.

Definitely a minority, but not sure how small. This is an interesting article from April: Not set in stone | CER Catch us if you can: Audi and Mercedes shift to a higher gear German businesses like to defy the market. How many times have they outperformed their peers in their core...

That is a legit issue for the folks that employ a driver. They are less interested in performance and more in rear-seat comfort and amenities. I don't think it's a make or break deal for China, I think Tesla can succeed in China, but there's a segment of the population that gets chauffeured...

"During a chat with Musk at the P85D's introduction, he mentioned that on average, Tesla implements about 20 modifications to the car per week. Not software, mind you, but actual hard parts. Per week." ( I did the bolding). Read more...

These are not sightings but REALLY COOL NEWS FOR ME!!!!!!!!! I have a friend I went to visit in London and his family is into cars. They have an Aston Martin and a couple other nice cars. They went shopping for a luxury car a few months ago and it was down to 2 cars, a Mercedes (dont...

The reason I looked at the taxi way initially is because there are taxi management companies that hire the drivers and park the cars and what not, so it's pretty hands off. I just needed to buy a car and buy a license (which is astronomical) and I was in business. I thought about buying 1...

This was outside my building last week! I wonder if one of my neighbors has a friend with a Tesla??

It doesn't say specifically but I think they are referring to Tmall, which BMW sold on as well if I remember.

I really wanted to do this in Hong Kong. I was ready to buy a couple of Teslas and slowly try to build up a fleet over time. I contacted the appropriate government dept. and they require a very detailed and technical application to get approval to be an official car that offers taxi service...

You'd think in America you have FREEDOM OF CHOICE. A consumer should have the freedom to decide if they want to buy direct or buy through a dealer. It is sad when government and dealerships work together to eliminate choices for the people.

I think ICE drivers are unaware the spots are for charging, while some don't care. I think we all know parking can be painful, so finding a spot is finding a spot, regardless of what kind of spot it is. Me personally, i don't feel comfortable parking in a spot not meant for my car, but not...
