Can anyone recommend a good tyre repair shop in Hong Kong? Not just the typical tubeless plug repair, but a shop that does proper repair from the inside of the tyre with an internal patch.

Use some Brasso metal polish and a microfibre or other cloth. Buff it by hand with a bit of force in a circular motion with the force of 2 fingers with a good amount of Brasso on the cloth until all the "other paint" is gone. Buff it off with a clean part of the cloth. All of the other colour...

The joys of the month-long wait list of Tesla Hong Kong's service centre. No water damage. The latch did not want to release, so I could always close it, just not open it beyond the latch.

Tesla has fixed the problem. They had to replace the entire locking and latching mechanism.

Not resolved yet, and no way to open it. Service Appointment at the end of the month...

Thanks Mark, yea I reckon I will need to do that. Waiting a month for this to be looked at is not really acceptable as it is a safety concern. If I end up in an accident and emergency first responders need to cut the main power wires inside the frunk....but that's also assuming emergency...

My model X Frunk is unable to open. The car is only 6 months old. It pops up, but stays latched. It is NOT in valet mode and I have even tried the emergency open rapid response toggles but also only pops open and stays latched. There is no way I can get the frunk to open up, other than popping...

Yea, I've tried the emergency latch release at the same time as someone pulling on the hood but it simply won't unlatch at all.. It seems that the emergency release is only an electric backup that does the same as from the inside of the car or the key fob...it does not release the mechanical...

Yes, after talking to some guys about the issue that seems to be what the problem is. So the consensus is to keep your phone and key fob apart, both in the car and in your pockets. Since doing that, I have not had it happen again.

That might me a good idea. Looks like the seat sensor does not work as advertised. As far as I understand, if nobody is sitting on the seat and the keys are in the car, it should remain unlocked.

Just a heads-up for everyone, possibly a software update bug. My model X just recently locked me out of the car. I stopped in line to wait for a supercharger and stepped out of the car briefly to throw something in a rubbish bin. My keys and phone were in the car and it locked itself as I...

Probably not much chance of the FRT being waved again. We also shouldn't be too surprised if they eventually take the $97.5K incentive away too....especially close to Model 3 order or delivery time. The Lobbyists are really trying their best to kill Tesla in Hong Kong...and the Government...

Any Model X with the update yet?

I just had a chat with out friendly neighborhood Tesla service centre while passing by, and the news is formally that AP2 has been approved by the Transport Department. Only highway with divider use unfortunately, but still... it is something. All model S cars will first receive the update...

Bright future: How Hong Kong can harness the potential of solar energy

Maybe we should then start calling them Solar Floor Tiles in Hong Kong. :)

Unfortunately our backwards system in Hong Kong considers any such structure on your rooftop an illegal structure. That is a big hurdle to overcome in Hong Kong.

I absolutely agree, it is a brilliant Safety feature as a Backup plan, and we can be assured that this is what Tesla designed it for. If you re-read my post, what I am referring to is people most definitely can Not solely RELY on the feature. It is meant to be a safety backup. Anyone who plan...

Now that is pretty friggin cool. Let's hope wireless evolves fast and becomes the way to go. Nikola Tesla would be proud.

Unfortunately, it is extremely rare to have a parking spot (especially on private land) right next to your house in Hong Kong. Some are very lucky, but it is rare. Normally, even if you park on a piece of private land designated as a parking spot, then there is probably some form of government...

Most other cars have no form of cabin overheat protection. Having a car like the Tesla gives the advantage of a feature that can be used to keep the temperature down in the cabin to protect the interior. Anyone who actually relies on this feature to protect children or pets in the car must have...

Having a limit over 12 hours (preferably always on) would be great.

The unit below the car can be buried (shallow) and the cable to it can be as long as required (within reason). For anyone living in a village house, normally installing a charger at your parking spot or even just charging there will get you into trouble with the lands department. This is an...

Thanks for the info SMAlset, yea you have valid points. Maybe if they can even add a feature to have cabin overheat as "always on" it would be great. Personally, I don't mind giving up some battery power to always have the feature active. If anything, the car's interior would greatly benefit...

Has anyone seen their MX cabin temp go this high? Mine has been parked outside for a couple days, not driven and I had a quick look at the internal temperature as it is a sunny day. My car is always connected with power saving switched off, and my cabin overheat protection is on. To my...

Anyone?

You could always tap power from your windscreen rearview mirror power point. It is inside the plastic panel on the windscreen, right behind the mirror.

The price of electricity in Hong Kong works out to around HK$1 per kW. Average would be between HK$0.2 - HK$0.3 per km. With an average ICE car, with the price of gasoline in Hong Kong you end up paying about HK$1.5 per km.

Corrupted morals and values here in Hong Kong, being unprincipled. Or wait, maybe morals and values are actually firstly needed before they can become corrupted...

I figured out why this is happening. There are quite a few backroads in Hong Kong that I use and the speed limit according to the Tesla map is completely wrong. It obviously uses these extremely slow speed limits in the map to calculate arrival time....some roads are listed as 15km/h where the...

Does anyone have a wireless charger system installed yet? I am sure we have to have a few by now. I see in the US pluglesspower dot com has a 7.2kw Tesla one for US$3000, any takers yet? It will sure solve a lot of issues here in Hong Kong to have an "out of sight, out of mind" charger hidden...

Any idea what timeline we are looking at to get the approval for auto parking and autopilot on highways with sub-dividers? Similar to the AP1 cars.

Welcome to the rip-off and corruption that is Hong Kong.

This is about waaaayy more than just the calendar guys, it is about crippling the car in general. The calendar is only the tip of the iceberg. The list is as long as your arm....calendar, web browser & third party apps, summon feature, autopilot features etc. etc. The list goes on and on.

It seems that Tesla Hong Kong is under pretty weak management, kind of like the Hong Kong government. Nobody seems to want to make any real difference or improvements. Tesla Hong Kong is most certainly not Elon Musk's vision of making the future a better place for all. You would think that...

According to customer care in Hong Kong, we might never have it. Let's hope they get their act together so we can start using these amazing cars for what they were designed and stop having a crippled version of them.

LMAO, great find ediot....now if only we had a way to access developer options and open up some features with that password....

I called AXA and they know about the concern we have due to the massive increase in replacement cost. They are willing and able to cover the extra for a new replacement car if needed, but they are waiting for an official updated price list and information from Tesla Hong Kong. It seems that...

I just had an interesting conversation with Tesla customer support in Hong Kong about Emergency braking and side collision avoidance in the new generation Teslas.... The tech support girl had me on hold for quite some time to talk to her team about it, and then told me that those two features...

Please also let me know if you find a proper tire shop in Hong Kong that will do an internal patch...like the rest of the world does...not just a plug. It would also be nice to know if anyone knows of a proper wheel alignment and balancing centre in Hong Kong; some place that can do proper...

Yea, I'm also very curious to find out if they can up the premium to cover the real cost of a replacement car... Anyone?

Bought mine on eBay from Teslafans. They were a treat to deal with and shipped very fast.

Yep, glad they got lucky in this event and there were no serious injuries. Let us hope the Transport Department stops dragging their feet and wake up before someone loses their life. What will the Hong Kong government's excuse be if we have loss of life due to disabled safety features that can...

Thank you for the info!

Just ordered a Topfit, can any of you guys answer the following please: What is the max SD card size that the Model X Topfit camera AP2 can handle? Perhaps 128gb or more? Can the terrible "greeting" be deactivated so it does not play the voice recording every time it turns on?

Maybe this is a good example for our backwards transport department to start approving the safety features this amazing car has... Perhaps if the automatic emergency braking was approved this could have been avoided. Just my 2 cents...

I think the Tesla design team has to cringe when they see someone ruin the beautiful design they spend countless time perfecting...
