    Karstyle Facelift Price Reduced to $2,500 on Website. Deposit reduced to $500.

    That is unfortunate. I was thinking about the same thing like sorka, upgrade to P100DL and then do the nose cone. $20k to upgrade is rather expensive, now I'm going need another few thousand for the look....

    Karstyle Facelift Price Reduced to $2,500 on Website. Deposit reduced to $500.

    Does anyone have any update? I've paid the $500 deposit May 2016, no update so far, and never replied my emails. Their website seems functional although the company itself seems dead.

    Dual engine shut down on freeway. Anyone else?

    I had the front motor disabled warning while on highway, the second day I took delivery of my P90D back in December 2015, along with 3 other warnings. I ended up had Tesla towed the car and everything were fine except there's a hardware malfunctioned with the charge port door. They fixed it in...

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    Red tapes, bureaucracy and inconsistencies stated TD is run by amateurs who would change their minds after lunch. Lexus recently selling a new car with sequential turn signal, Audi had a similar design earlier but was rejected by TD.

    Stopping at traffic lights: P, N or (H)

    It's quite sad but true. Not just taxi drivers, where they would drive on fast lane 20-30 km/h slower than speed limit, when you overtake them, they speed up, and when you overtook them, they would flash their high beams. 90%+ drivers in HK doesn't even have fast/slow lane concept, that includes...

    Tall kids, backseat headrests and whiplash

    I am 6'2" and have a P90D with Pano. When I straighten my back and stick my entire back to the seats, I would hit the headrest very slightly before the headliner, almost the same time, but a normal person wouldn't sit like that unless the seat in front was pushed way back. In a normal sitting...

    Mobile wall charger

    Well done. Mobile means you can take the box anywhere? How do you get high amperage? Are you just charging at 13A?

    Hong Kong CLP (ABB) triple-standard combo charger tested (Jan 2016)

    Thanks for your very detailed write up, luckily i charge at home :biggrin: Just one question, isn't the white Model S a loaner? I had this exact same car as a loaner just 2 weeks ago.

    I concur. It's a silly urban myth.

    Hong Kong Tesla Model S Charging Standard

    90km/hr wow. Did you pay extra for the charger?

    Spotify in Tesla

    I don't think there's a priority, I got updated last night, I took delivery on 18 December 2015. But the car was connected to WiFi, maybe that made a different?

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    7.1 has a lot more restrictions to auto pilot. Imbeciles can't go crazy with it now.
  13. Jim.MS

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    Now that 7.1 is out, I think we'll have our update soon. A side note, does anyone know why HK doesn't have home link?

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    You're right, but I honestly don't see the different, there are 7.0 non auto pilot cars all over the world, it's not like the API is mature enough for us to hack the car and install auto pilot ourselves, the UI in the instrument panel are different too.

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    If that's the case, then there's really no reason for them to downgrade my software. I've opted for almost all options, except cold weather package and, autopilot. My car doesn't have autopilot. I honestly don't care about autopilot, I just want the bug fixes and hill assist from 7.0.
  16. Jim.MS

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    Maybe there are local testers, otherwise I don't think anyone has 7.0. I got my car back only few days ago and it was 6.2. When Tesla started diagnosing my car 2 weeks ago they actually upgraded my software, I know because the app notified me software has been upgraded, but then they probably...

    Model S P90D delivery story, Genre : Horror........

    Thanks. Good for you indeed, the staff told me the waiting list for a loaner is very long, over 50 people long, you must have big face :biggrin: to have them give you the priority. Delivering the loaner to you is a goodwill gesture too.

    news on re-release of autopilot in HK?

    That actually means no 7.0 until Feb or later, not good. Even if Elon really is coming where I kinda doubt, our government has a "I know all you dunno jack" mentality, not easy to convince.

    Model S P90D delivery story, Genre : Horror........

    A little update. Car was delivered back to me today, all the alerts were due to a minor charge port hardware malfunction, which took Tesla service an afternoon to fix. But that hardware was out of stock, so I had to wait 2 weeks.....I actually have the loaner in my possession longer than my own...

    Uber drivers and super chargers

    Elon promised SCs are free forever, anyone who bought a Tesla, until future changes, are eligible to use SCs anytime they want. Even if there are SCs all over HK, it will be the same, because its free. I reckon the majority of Tesla owners in HK bought their cars with this very reason as their...

    It might be a good idea if you need your car daily. I did, been driving the loaner for a few days now, both are Model S, yet they are two totally different cars...

    Pomponazzi vs. CeramicPro vs. Xpel vs. CQuartz Finest

    Alternatively you can wrap only the front end, bumper and hood, I asked Wrapworkz for a Xpel front wrap and it will cost around $15k. Xpel is indeed very expensive.....

    How's the fit and which size are you using? I'm thinking about getting something like this or the all weather Tesla mat. Thanks.

    Model S P90D delivery story, Genre : Horror........

    It seemed to me it really depends on luck when picking up a Tesla....And I actually didn't ask for a loaner, Tesla offered it, their staff mentioned the alerts made the car unsafe to drive and they don't want me to take the risk, maybe because of that.

    Pomponazzi vs. CeramicPro vs. Xpel vs. CQuartz Finest

    They will give you a card after your 880XX coating, it's something like a log card. You'll get 36 car washes for $90 each if you did 880XX with them, otherwise the car wash is $180, the card is to record how many times you have used the $90 wash.
  31. Jim.MS

    Pomponazzi vs. CeramicPro vs. Xpel vs. CQuartz Finest

    They did, weekly car wash using non wax soap and then monthly wash with their $90 car wash service. Of course if your car is parked inside the garage you could stretch a bit longer.

    Model S P90D delivery story, Genre : Horror........

    I have a feeling I'm going to have that anxiety when I get my car back......But then Tesla service are really trying their best to help sort things, one of my incidents was when I parked my car into Hotel Icon, the valet staff parked my car and started charging, where it was impossible to open...

    Model S P90D delivery story, Genre : Horror........

    Thanks guys. The biggest problem I see, is Tesla HK's severely understaff, as well as not enough parking space for cars needed service. I talked to different staff and they mentioned they had to rent nearby buildings just to store the massive amount of cars that's coming back for service, not to...

    Pomponazzi vs. CeramicPro vs. Xpel vs. CQuartz Finest

    Many valid points. I had my cars coated with Keeper diamond for the last 6 years, they were Keepre when they started out. I just had my Model S coated with Pompanazzi, because I wanted to try something new, and I think they all looked the same when freshly coated, very shiny. Coatings will...

    Photos: Grey Next Gen seats + Carbon Fiber + Black Alcantara + Premium Front Console

    You sir, have great taste :biggrin: I'm picking up mine this Friday, with exactly the same interior, only mine has a metallic black exterior. I had doubts at first cuz all of my cars were black on black, now seeing some real life photos I think I've made a good decision.

    Charging with a standard BS1363 (household 3 prong) socket - review

    The box is located in the corner and I wanted to install the connector near the opening, so I'd say around 5-6 meters, and there's nothing in between, just a normal garage with 3 walls and an opening. Maybe I should find electricians that is not recommended by Tesla so that I don't get ripped...

    Charging with a standard BS1363 (household 3 prong) socket - review

    I have a 125A 3 phase system, installing a 50A socket for the wall connector should be more than enough?

    Charging with a standard BS1363 (household 3 prong) socket - review

    Valuable information. I think I'll be using the 13A cable to charge my Model S. I drive less than 150km a week anyway. I wanted to install the wall connector and have gotten quotations from 2 of the 3 companies Tesla suggested, one of them suggests wall drilling is needed, the other doesn't...

    Financing and insurance in Hong Kong

    This is what I learned from my sales. I asked specifically, they will buy back your car with cash, in exactly 3 years, 36000km. No deal anymore than 3 years, and every km more than 36000 is $3 or $4 ( forgot the exact ) deduction.
