    Game Updates coming thru in HK?

    Has anybody noticed the large “Game Update” downloads that came along with the latest software update? In my case, they came after the main SW update (2021.44.5), about 3-4 separate packages, totaling >4GB in size. Is there any way to disable these, I wonder? Seeing as we can’t access them...

    HK Service Hotlines - nobody picking up & mailbox full

    Anyone out there trying to reach Tesla HK Service hotline (any location) and not able to connect with anyone? Have called a couple of locations and nobody picks up, and can’t even leave a voicemail, VM mailbox full. Any idea what’s going on? I mean I know you can book service appts through...

    Another Kind of Tesla Fire

    Now I, for one, am simply delighted that Tesla, in its latest string of v9 updates, took the time, care, and effort in quality assurance, to incorporate a hyper-realistic Yule Log for us, alongside stalwart Atari classics such as Centipede. It is sure to provide hours of soothing enjoyment...

    Dash Cam Installation

    Yes, there are some less-than-stellar reviews for Rapid Auto on FB, and that did give us pause. But they seemed to be with installs on other makes/models (Mercs & what have you), so we decided to give them a chance anyway. And they did a perfectly good job.

    Dash Cam Installation

    That's what I thought at first too, but actually, I found that if you scroll up to the top of the recordings list (on the app), and drag down to refresh, it actually does work and loads more. Do that enough times and you can actually go back as far as you want. Do agree though that this isn't...

    Dash Cam Installation

    Have been running with the iRoad V9 for the past week -- it is excellent. Front/rear HD capture, ~7h capacity, low profile unit, very sleek, fully automatic capture with different modes (driving / carpark / motion detect), super clean install w/ no visible wires, and maybe best of all, a...

    observations from new driver in HK with new face lift S 60

    Just takes some getting used to. Certainly took me awhile to get used to the rhyme & reason of it, as it isn't always immediately obvious. Generally, I find double white lines are there to help merging traffic from encroaching. Given the narrowness of many of our roads and compressed merging...

    Model S Dash Cam Recommendations?

    Hi Folks, I'm sure there are other threads which cover this, so my apologies up front for any redundancy. Seems like it's been awhile though since it's been discussed, so maybe this can serve as a good update for new(ish) Tesla HK owners in the market for a solid dash cam setup. Make/model...

    Restrictions on Hong Kong Model S spec

    Release notes are identical to the one I posted earlier (somewhere in this thread). Exactly the same wording re calendar being removed and Tesla working w TD to restore the functionality. So what this probably means is that the people in charge of managing and pushing HK Tesla software updates...

    A Good Service Experience

    A positive service story to share. Brought my late 2015 Model S in for service on June 30 (day before the holiday) to fix the driver's side seat adjustment motor, which had recently croaked. I had made the appointment in early June. The service center had initially wanted to give me a slot in...

    Restrictions on Hong Kong Model S spec

    No doubt, and really, that's fine. I just question the decision to communicate the message via software update. I mean, this update didn't remove the calendar -- it had already been removed weeks ago. The update didn't contain a single ounce of substance, aside from that message. I mean, I...

    Restrictions on Hong Kong Model S spec

    HK Tesla Software Update stupidity strikes again! Tesla thought that the above message was important enough to push it to us by way of a software update. I appreciate the message, I really do, but did they really need to push a software update to do it? A software update which effectively...

    Restrictions on Hong Kong Model S spec

    Sure it is. They as much said so in their response to media enquiry on 8 June. "The above requirements were made having regard to driving safety considerations."

    Restrictions on Hong Kong Model S spec

    Quite possibly the single stupidest software update of all time. For anybody out there who hasn't had the joy of installing this golden nugget of nanny-state nincompoopery, behold:

    End May Software Update

    Minor update only. 7.1.2.25.something. Meh.

    End May Software Update

    Hi Folks, Anybody else out there receive notification of a software update available for their Model S around the end of May? I did, but was out of HK at the time. Back now, and will be upgrading tonight. Just curious what I might be upgrading to. Another incremental 6.2 update? Or...

    Brake Release issues when putting car into Drive

    For anyone else who may be experiencing brake "clunking " noise after not driving your Tesla for a few days -- here's an update on my recent service appointment: Took the car into TML service center, they kept the car for a day, did a check on the brake system, and called me the next morning to...

    Brake Release issues when putting car into Drive

    I like that theory. As a sanity check, I will give it an explicit look next time. Only thing is, I'm normally very vigilant about checking my instruments, and if Hill Assist were on, I'm almost certain I would have noticed. Also, when accelerating out of Hill Assist during normal driving, it...

    Brake Release issues when putting car into Drive

    Hi Folks, Recently I've noticed some disturbing behavior with my Late 2015 Model S and was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything similar. If the car has been parked for awhile -- say, overnight, or for more than a day -- when I put it in D, the car does not set off smoothly. It's...

    Google Maps - any way to get alternate route suggestions?

    When planning a route, or en route, I can't right now seem to find any way to tell the nav system to "avoid highways" or "use local roads" or for that matter, any of the routing options that native Google Maps (on mobile or browser) gives you. Grey lines representing the alternate route, which...

    Observations about auto interval wiper sensitivity (or lack thereof)

    Wow - I'm sorry to hear that. Just wondering, did you apply any sort of rain-x type of coating which might be affecting how the blades travel across the glass? If it's the wiper blades for sure, I can't imagine that Tesla wouldn't be able to swap out a new pair for you, as routine (and...

    Observations about auto interval wiper sensitivity (or lack thereof)

    Hi Folks, Are we loving this amazing January weather or what? Honestly wasn't sure if I would ever have a use for cold weather pre-conditioning, or the seatwarmers, here in Hong Kong. But this January has so far made me extremely happy for both! :smile: One observation, however, about the...

    Reasons to upgrade from 70 to 70D or 85 (got a few days left in my change window....)

    Big thanks to the contributors to this thread, who provided some excellent insights and guidance. It was such a close call, with such good arguments on either side, that in the end, I settled the matter the only way I knew how. A coin toss.

    Where Would You Suggest Tesla To Build Their Supercharging Stations In Hong Kong?

    Truly. Though one hopes that no Tesla owner would be so unconscientious as to do such a thing. The "valet" concept could potentially work here. Drive to the airport on your way to somewhere, Supercharge at HKIA. In the time it takes you to get thru check-in, security, and into the departure...

    Where Would You Suggest Tesla To Build Their Supercharging Stations In Hong Kong?

    They absolutely should place superchargers at HKIA! HKIA and HKGC both, as both are sizeable communities, along two heavily-traveled, strategic routes.

    Finally, got confirmed P85D delivery date

    As luck would have it, I was right behind a spankin' brand new P85D on my way home today (no pix as i was driving at the time, so you'll have to take my word for it), and lo and behold, it drove right into my estate. That's gotta be the 3rd Tesla I've seen in my estate so far. (not a huge...

    Where Would You Suggest Tesla To Build Their Supercharging Stations In Hong Kong?

    Hong Kong Gold Coast would be a mighty fine spot for a bank of superchargers to cover the SW N.T. Could be fairly strategic as well, not only for those living around there, but also as a nice staging point for people setting off for HKIA or the longer journey to Macau (once the TMT-CLK tunnel...

    Reasons to upgrade from 70 to 70D or 85 (got a few days left in my change window....)

    Hi Folks, Anyone out there, like me, recently place an order for a 70 (rwd), but now you're thinking, Jeez, should I go for the 70D or even the 85? I've got 2 days left in my change window before the order is confirmed, so if I'm going to change my mind, the time is now! Couple of data points...
