    Music Search Voice Command Failed After Firmware Update 17.11.3

    I never tried 許志安 but I faced the same problem with a number of HK singers before the update, seems like Spotify did not register 薛凱琪 as "薛凱琪" but "Fiona Sit" only? And it appears to me it has nothing to do with Voice Command, as a search for "薛凱琪" by written input returns empty too

    Anyone successfully activate parallel parking?

    Mine is AP1 MS. The so-called calibration took quite some time. I believe you have to drive past a number of slots before it finishes calibration. Going back and forth of the same slot may not be enough. Anyone with AP2 can share their experience on calibration?

    And you don't actually occupy any space that will affect anyone else What happened is just common HK way of business, if they can pay, make them pay more

    Emergency braking and Side Collision never to be approved in Hong Kong

    Did that happen inside the tunnel? Or at geofenced area where Autopilot is not available?

    Emergency braking and Side Collision never to be approved in Hong Kong

    The Ombudsman, yes or no. Ombudsman investigates complains, they may or may not go further and compare Apple Carplay with the calendar on Tesla by themselves. They can have a rather different conclusion if we compare apple to apple and orange to orange (i.e. a car with screen that can display a...

    Charger Space Usage Monthly Fee

    well.....they are good at it... i guess you have no option but paying the monthly fee? even a lawyer can't help you in this case

    Charger Space Usage Monthly Fee

    So you get a new meter and your own charger installed in your own parking space, you pay your own electric bill, and your car park charges you monthly fee? What is that for?

    Emergency braking and Side Collision never to be approved in Hong Kong

    How far you will go? If you are prepared to submit a judicial review in the end, this may be a good start You need to make sure Tesla has applied for the calendar (assume that will be rejected) Then you gonna ask TD about Apple Carplay (assuming TD "tolerates" Apple Carplay but not Tesla's...

    Emergency braking and Side Collision never to be approved in Hong Kong

    i respectfully disagree with your disagreement with @Lerxt. The HK govt refuses to put in enough resource to formally assess most new tech stuff. While we do have regulatory offices within the govt on tech stuff in various departments, we never have enough technical capacity to fully understand...

    Roll back when parking on slope

    well, some spaces are simply not for us..... I guess there is some misunderstanding here, there is no "hill hold" in Tesla. It's "vehicle hold". It is not the same as "hill assist" / "hill start assist" in other cars. Tesla's vehicle hold is engaged by you pressing the brake pedal a little...

    Model X Crash Compilation

    Instead of troll post, this serves as a very good reminder for everyone in HK subforum, drive safely or everyone's insurance premium will keep rising year by year btw, I am not sure about what happened in the first picture. For the second picture, driver fleed the scene after the "accident"...

    Wilson Car Park - Waste of EV charging resource in HK

    I will give them credit for doing their homework and creating different categories to explain their near hands-off management philosophy Can't see why the car park management will have to spend extra manpower in case someone refuses to pay. If the owner refuses to pay, he simply can't drive...

    Wilson Car Park - Waste of EV charging resource in HK

    Isn't that a paradox? Cannot reserve any spots by contract (legally) but attempted (heroically) to protect some spaces with cones, either one seems to be a lie to me For the cones argument, if they were to "protect some spaces", they could have simply impound any ICE taking EV spots, Wilson...

    Cruise not available

    Happened to me when my S was new. Cruise not available for a day or two then came back by itself MANY times. Longest period of "absence" was around 7 days. I could not resist calling the service centre at that time, they checked the sensors remotely, told me radar need recalibration, scheduled a...

    Model X Energy Consumption Rate

    That comes to the question of whether air-con etc are counted towards the Wh/km. If not, that explains the 5 km difference Maybe they are using a different formula, maybe they are not, haven't come across any sharing on this yet

    Model X Energy Consumption Rate

    I guess you are talking about 9 kWh is 10% of 90 kWh, that's why you are expecting only 10% gone for 9 kWh used? If so, 90 kWh model doesn't give you 90 kWh real capacity Tesla’s hacked Battery Management System exposes the real usable capacity of its battery packs 90D/P90D – ~85.8 kWh total...

    Model X Energy Consumption Rate

    One more thing, top speed. I will keep the discussion healthy and within legal boundary ;) I know according to Tesla's website, driving at 70 km/hr use less energy than 80 km/hr. But from my real world experience, it's the other way round... Make sure you use the TACC, especially if the legal...

    Model X Energy Consumption Rate

    I explored ways to find the lowest Wh/km and found that what matters most is starting from stop. We have a very heavy car. Model S is more than 2 tons, X is even heavier. Starting from stop uses most energy. That's why you waste a lot in stop and go traffic. If you can be gentle on this, your...

    What is your Daily power drain when not charging

    My S60 lost ~3 km per day with both Energy Saving Mode and "Always Connected" turned on. No experience on X so I couldn't comment To prevent vampire drain let the car sleep like a baby, only connect to the car when there is a need (e.g. turn on air-con before driving). It takes some time...

    Known software limitations / bugs

    Don't worry, Jswlim. The auto wiper function is ground breaking tech from Tesla, they never work like those in any other cars. It will only work the way I / everyone wanted when driving in heavy downpour. I remember they claimed they improved it at least once in previous firmware update. To me...

    Financing and insurance in Hong Kong

    The worst thing is Zurich cancelled the zero excess part....

    Dash Cam Installation

    I recently bought the IRO Dashcam for Tesla model S from a store in Golden Computer Arcade in Shum Shui Po. $1980 front view HD cam only with no GPS. Pros: specifically designed for Tesla. The whole thing hides completely between the rear view mirror and windscreen, you will see no trace of...

    @markwj, great work for the excel file You may also wish to add a column which divides the pre-tax price by the manufacturer's range, which clearly shows why people are favouring the "expensive car" (against the criticism that govt is "sponsoring" the rich) For base model, the "cheapest" iMiev...

    2017 FRT Renewal

    That's bad... EV is meant for green transport and self use, unlike those super sports cars which are meant for other purposes including investment. I would advise him (and anyone) not to pay (and encourage) those cunning jerks who speculate in FRT of EV... Thank you for the info

    For public debate / partition, such thing does not really exist in HK.

And we have only a few thousand EV owners in HK, an even...

    2017 FRT Renewal

    Like what miimura pointed out, the Germany incentive is about the base price while the HK FRT is about the total price If my memory serves me right, you have to pay tax for options enabled after delivery too and there is no loophole for this as you can't enable anything legally without going...

    I meant someone will do this given the incentive I did not know there is such "European programme". I just know the parallel import way. Anyway, just wish to point out things get more tricky for Tesla as you don't have / need connectivity in most ICE. There are quite a few good mechanics out...

    2017 FRT Renewal

    As far as I remember, Tesla is marking 20% (or 30%?) up from the production cost of model S and X as sale price. This is to make money for further R&D on EV, building factories and making mass production of model 3 possible. Model S / X is not meant to be the affordable EV

    Let's say someone does start such a business and he only get 100 orders which every new owner pays him $100k, that's already a 10M business. You don't need much to start doing this and I believe people are willing to pay more than $100k instead of the current tax You can just follow the same...

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    Power generation, we are one of those cities closest to the sea in this world, have we made use of any tidal power? Can we? And did anyone try to promote solar in HK?

    Apparently they have not defined what is not a commercial vehicle. If a Tesla can somehow be considered part of these (e.g. registered under a "car rental" company), I see a new business of helping people setting up new "car rental" companies, just like the parallel import of "preowned" cars...

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    He was trying to fool you with the so called European standard vs American car. He was just referring to IEC 62196 which is more commonly used in Europe. The Tesla sold in HK market adopts IEC standard (aka the "blue cable" often mentioned in the HK subforum). I don't know if this wise man from...
