    Model X Falcon Wing Sunshade

    I got my sunshade for my MS from Taobao. Fits very well.

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

    I have just read the TDs response to the removal of Calendar in Tesla. It seems to me that the installation of a music player with a screen in all cars, not only in tesla, would be breaking the law, no?

    Roll back when parking on slope

    I didn't receive any email though my MS is clearly within the date range. Was it in the email or messages in Mytesla site?

    Roll back when parking on slope

    It's in the news today that tesla is recalling 53000 MS and MX assembled from Feb to Oct 2016 due to a parking brake issue.

    Model X Energy Consumption Rate

    I have a MS. My experience is that once you have lots of fast accelerations or uphills, the average spikes up. People who drive on the island side have much higher averages.

    Model X Build Quality

    It wasn't fixed so to speak. The car went into their bay, they took out the strip, blow it dry, put it back on, drive it out to the reception area, windows come down an up and "tada". No more squeak. They just demonstrated that it's becos it's wet. Some may not accept this explanation. But I'm...

    Advance Preparation - Getting Ready to get delivery of MX in a week

    I got mine from taobao for much less. About 400 Rmb. It's quite difficult to fit the accelerator paddle though. I hope the reverse is true. It should be quite difficult to come off then.

    Oh, that really sucks!

    Finally picked up my MS - have some questions

    I'm guessing you meant the automatic high beam feature. My experience with it is that it's erratic. I have times that it turn to highbeam expectedly and times where it should have, it didn't. I read from websites that there is a sensor behind the rear view mirror that activates it. I have tried...

    Tesla Server failure

    I still can't access my car via the app. Do I need to reboot the car?

    Advance Preparation - Getting Ready to get delivery of MX in a week

    I have a MS. These are not the dome lights. The lights in the trunk is too dim. I often find myself turning on the lights on my iPhone to look for things. Found out from googling that there is a company that sells replacement lights for all Tesla. Do a search in YouTube for "Abstract Ocean" and...

    HK: Model X Deposit date - confirmation - Sequence # - expected delivery

    I got the pedals from taobao. It looks great but I must say that they are quite difficult to fit them on the first time. I'm guessing it's safer that way as it would not come loose while driving.

    You should also get the Abstract Ocean replacement lights.

    Front and back HD dashcam is a must. IMHO

    Model X Build Quality

    I believe Tesla won't change the design of this part and it wouldn't help if they replace it with the same part. I was initially quite irritated with the sound as it would "squeak" every time I close my door (the glass moves up slightly upon closing the door and rubbing against the wet felt, it...

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    As an update, I tried again at the star ferry carpark. No luck in getting my Ms to work with 2 of the chargers there. I see a 2 other FL MSs charging though. Anyone knows how they made it work?

    Model X Build Quality

    Perhaps I shouldn't have explained then. I was hoping to share some of the problems i discovered so that we know how to deal with them. Whether the problem is a generic one in most Tesla cars or is it specific to a car.

    Model X Build Quality

    I have a MS. When I first got me car, I had the same problem. Tesla told me it's becos of the felt in the window sills. When they are wet, the glass rubbing against the wet felt creates the sound. Hope this helps explain the sound.

    Supercharging Idling Fee

    No matter if it's implemented or not, im sticking to their plan so that everyone gets to charge. My hope is for everyone to start doing the same.

    [On-Going] Model S-friendly & Best Car Park List

    Congrats on your new MX. I'm quite interested to know if the MX requires a wider carpark entrance. I already feel that Lincoln house is sooooo narrow!

    [On-Going] Model S-friendly & Best Car Park List

    The entrance and exit are wide enough for MS. You are right. As your turn down to the basement, the unused gate is very narrow. You have to be extra careful when go down and coming out as our MS back is wider than the front. My face lifted MS does not charge with any of the chargers there. In...

    Dash Cam Installation

    Agree with bignoodle. I have a v9 too. Capacity could be more than 7hrs. (See point 2 below). Generally, I'm happy with it except for 2 issues. 1. The lights in night videos seems to disperse. Therefore it's not as as sharp at night. May be hard to catch registration plates at night. 2. The...

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    I agree. It's really frustrating especially when I used to park at star ferry daily. Thinking that I could use the 32A chargers, it would make a lot of sense to buy a MS. I'm totally relying on SC at the moment. It doesn't look like it's gonna change for the better as Tesla's maintenance guy...

    Screen protector

    I bought one from taobao. Have yet to install it. As time goes by, I wonder if I really need it.

    How? By going back to the workshop?

    LTE not working

    Well, at least you guys have LTE. I only have 3G on mine. It's slow when loading the navigation maps. Does it mean, cars delivered earlier can't be upgraded to LTE?

    Supercharging Idling Fee

    I spoke with the service executive at the service centre. He said they have not implemented the idling fee in Hong Kong. He isn't sure when they will. If they have, the app will push out a notification should you stay over the 5 mins.

    Supercharging Idling Fee

    I'm collecting my car from the service centre tomorrow. Yes, second time in my 3 month ownership. I will ask them if they have started implementation of the idling fee in Hong Kong

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    I tried at north point govt office car park yesterday with no luck. The charging status on the box did show blue, my MS showed ready to charge but after 2 mins, the MS didnt show that it's receiving any electricity.

    Dash Cam Installation

    I had the same questions when I collected my MS 3 months ago. I narrowed down to 3 brands which, in my opinion, are the best. They are Thinkware, iRoad and Blackvue. I had a Blackvue in my previous car which worked very well without any problems. So naturally, it was my top choice. However, the...

    Would you buy another Tesla?

    The driving experience is great with an electric car. However, their quality of the workmanship is lacking. Every time I wash the car, I uncover more defects. So much so that I'm contemplating not to wash it myself anymore. This should not happen to a car at this price. Coupled with a long wait...

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    As an update, my FL Model S is still unable to charge on any medium charger made by "EV Power". Super chargers, medium chargers by EV-Link and normal 13As do work. I don't think Tesla and/or EV Power is working on a solution. So guys, if you see FL Model Ss hungry for electricity at the SC...

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    I was fortunate enough to be able to access SC for the last 2 charges. Will update when I try next at the star ferry car park.

    Problem with charging facelifted model s 75

    My MS 75 was delivered in end sept. However, I have tried 2 different 32A medium chargers at 2 different locations. While the charging box says charging, my charge port lights up for 3 seconds and goes off. The car would not charge with 32A chargers but works well with 13A, Tesla's wall...

    Hong Kong customs

    I have the new 75. I was told that every model s with new capacity will have to be inspected by the TD/Customs. When it landed in HK, it took about 1-2 weeks to get the car approved and prepared for delivery. I got the car last Saturday. So it's not that long. I was also told that the model X...
