"Isn't it dangerous if the battery gets wet?"

I got it in Switzerland which I thought just got whatever is offered in the EU. Maybe try again?

That’s my story and I’m sticking to to! I’ll only get called out if my wife comments that she thinks the car is faster (she’s the primary driver) but then we’ll also have a discussion about her speed...

I did it in Switzerland. Stupidly pressed buttons to quickly on my iPad and accidentally ordered and guess there’s no turning back.

I don’t blame Tesla for my stupidity but I was actually trying to see what the price incl. tax would be (turns out it is 2000 flat unlike in the US where I saw someone post a screenshot showing the total price around 2100 or so). I was expecting a checkout screen but didn’t get one...instead...

I just stupidly accidentally clicked the “pay” button and didn’t have a chance to confirm or anything. Got charged CHF 2k (Swiss Francs) without having any opportunity to cancel. Now I’m bouncing between sales and service to try and cancel the order before the upgrade is sent to the car (each...

In Switzerland (and perhaps Germany), nearly everyone who ordered EAP and took delivery in late Feb got an SMS from Tesla saying they will get FSD for free. It makes sense though, for example, I took delivery on 1 March and could’ve returned the car and ordered a new one with FSD for the same...

Completely OT, but what is the point of hiding the VIN?

I'm getting the front of my new M3 wrapped this week with Xpel Ultimate Plus. They're doing the hood, front fenders, front bumper and (A?) pillars (the ones that are next to the windshield). Doing just this was a 1/3 of the cost of doing the full car and it covers the most vulnerable areas...

I got that same. This is really good on Tesla if it is indeed making us equivalent to buying the FSD option today. Of course, I could’ve just returned the vehicle and ordered a new one but the chance of me doing that we’re slim when I could instead just complain here.

I’m at the delivery center in Zurich now. Tons of cars in here but only a few customers. My delivery specialist was accompanied by a new joiner so they are staffing up to handover more cars.

I never received an SMS or the 13.20A so I called Tesla yesterday. They said they’re organizing everything for me. Now the question is how do we get the FSD for free...

Do you know whether we have to get l number plates ourselves or whether Tesla organizes for us? I don’t have a car yet so am unfamiliar with the process.

And just like that I get an unexpected email that I can get the car on Friday!

I finally got through to Tesla on the phone. The delivery date on my final invoice is when they expect the car to arrive in Switzerland. Delivery to me will still take 1-2 weeks. Now I can relax without stressing...the magic of communication!

Tech companies generally deliver their products on time. Tesla is more like a tech consulting company

I agree - communication can solve a lot of the issues. I paid the final invoice quickly assuming that the 26 Feb delivery date on the invoice means I'll get my car then. Now I am not so sure... This will be my second Tesla so I should be used to the lack of communication. It still doesn't make...

Deliveries have started in Switzerland but it is now impossible to get in touch with someone at Tesla regarding next steps. Other than seeing a final invoice appear in my Tesla account with a delivery date of next Tuesday, I haven’t heard anything. I paid the balance due and keep calling Tesla...

The AWD LR model. I didn’t get permission to buy the “P”. This is actually my second Tesla. I had a 60D but had to sell it after moving countries.

After all this, I ended up ordering an M3 today. The cargo space in the M3 is not as bad as I thought and the interior is really nice. Saving a ton of cash is an added bonus. The only major downside so far is waiting until March for delivery. Thanks for everyone’s input. I guess I better banish...

Thanks for all the feedback. I have confirmation that the supercharging transfers. To throw another wrinkle into the mix, what's your view on a new P3D vs the used P100D? The P3D new is $20k cheaper than a used P100D. Cargo space is a consideration but is it worth $20k?

Thanks for the advice so far - I can tell it isn’t a no brained. The car is for the family. I don’t plan on launching with two small kids in the back and facing the potential wrath of my wife. We will only have 1 car since I commute with public transport (meaning my wife will be the most...

I forgot to mention that the P100D has free suoercharging for life while the 100D has 400kWh per year

I am torn between two used cars with kind of similar pricing and would appreciate this group’s feedback. Here are the specs: P100D 60k km May 2017 delivery 21” summer tires, 19” winter tires All options except sunroof and FSD Red exterior and beige interior Buying from an individual 100D 20k...

I unexpectedly need to move abroad and will sell my beloved MS 60D. I'm trying to figure out how much to post the car for put don't have many price points as an example. I paid c. $680k for the car and added Xpel Ultimate, 3m crystalline window tint and a think ware dash cam. I took delivery in...

I can understand everyone’s frustration with this. Is the RVG better than selling secondhand? I thought of it as a fallback plane rather than my preferred option.

But it had AM/FM radio!!

I met some senior people at their regional HQ. They basically confirmed that the business was performing very poorly and are trying to price themselves out of the market. The future is when Tesla bundles insurance with the sale of the car, either by finding a fronting carrier or owning an...

I noticed that the navigation system has updated from 2010 to 2017. Check under settings, apps, maps.

I use the car almost exclusively in HK island and have rarely made it above 100kph. With such low mileage on the car I would only take the car for service every couple of years if my choice. If I drove an ICE I’d only have to take it in for oil changes every blue moon.

That’s terrible. My documentation explicitly noted the requirement to take the car in for annual service. It’s the only reason to do it. Hopefully your car value is higher than the RVG (are you at 55% or higher?) so you end up better off selling privately.

Hong Kong doesn’t seem like a place where people just keep old cars sitting around. There is no way I could afford keeping a car park just so I can keep a car that I could easily scrap. In any case, I like that cars will get scrapped. At least newer ICE cars should be more efficient (excl...

This is awesome!

I saw that Kennedy Town has a Tesla service center now. Tesla’s website doesn’t show this yet so maybe a new development. Would be great for me as I’ll save $130 in tunnel fees if I have to take the car in. Looks quite small but a good sign that Tesla still invests in HK post FRT changes.

Your settings won't be affected by doing this. I had the same issue after the software update and a simple reboot fixed it.

My understanding is that HEPA filters don't remove smells / gases but do remove particulate matters. So VOCs wouldn't be removed without a carbon filter. Maybe the Tesla has a carbon filter as well though.

I have paid for a couple of idle fees. Total cost was less than $3.

Or would this just mean that Tesla incurs super roaming charges?

Has anyone ever experienced their car's location being shown in different spots for different phones? I was in holiday and nearly thought my car was stolen! Edit: we are both using the iOS app.

I've got the late 2016 seats and don't have an issue attaching my child's seats using the isofix guides that the seat came with. Do you have guides as well?

Bioweapon defense mode!

I can't give you exact numbers but my air quality monitor went up slightly after putting on regular mode. The air was still good but not as good as with the bioweapon defense mode on. I don't understand why though since I turn on air recirculation.

I got mine from here: http://originstech.com/laseregg2/

Since I have a young child, I'm completely paranoid about air pollution. As those of you in HK can attest to, the air was really bad this weekend. AQI of 150+ is unhealthy for anyone. I have a small air quality meter and can now confirm that the bioweapon defense mode takes the in car air...

Thank you very much, @AYim!

This is a stupid question but does anyone know where I can buy buckets for car washing? My mop bucket isn't big enough at the bottom to put my grit guard in. Thanks!

AP2 hasn't had this feature that was available on AP1 vehicles. I *hope* that the car knows when there are adjacent vehicles when engaging auto lane change but the first safety check should be a visual confirmation before activating a lane change.

It should but is displayed as a normal car on the dash.

To be clear, my car didn't accelerate or have any issues. I just noticed that the white car in front wasn't showing up on my dash display. Hopefully just an anomaly.

Hopefully things will get better as Tesla gets more data in HK. My MS desperately wanted to merge into a truck. Forcing the steering wheel in the opposite direction took a lot more force than I anticipated and I nearly overcorrected. My wife won't let me use it anymore when she's in the car...
