I confirmed my Model X order about a week ago and I just checked my Design Spec it says I have AutoPilot Hardware 1.
Anyone else seeing the same?
Tesla HK website never get updated. They have no clue
According to the Motor Vehicles (First Registration Tax) Ordinance (Cap. 330), a registered distributor shall, before offering a motor vehicle for sale for use in Hong Kong, submit the PRP to the Customs for assessment and approval. Having obtained the approved PRP, the registered distributor shall publish the PRP in writing; for example, displaying the PRP next to the vehicle. The registered distributor shall not sell that vehicle at a price higher than the approved PRP cum the related FRT.
Registered distributors are required to:
- publish in writing the retail price lists (sample of the published retail price list) for the make and model of motor vehicles before offering them for sale or distribution;
- submit two original copies of the retail price list to the Motor Vehicles Valuation Group of the Customs and Excise Department by hand or through the Motor Vehicles First Registration Tax System website not less than 7 days before the publication.
I would speculate that this issue is causing headaches for Customs. Longer term, they won't be happy with Tesla (or any other manufacturer) shipping in cars with all the hardware for free, and then selling customers such valuable, optional over the air upgrades following the First Registration of the car, at which time the tax wouldn't be collectible. This may not cost Customs any revenue today given the FRT waiver, but they will be wary of establishing a precedent as it may become an issue in the very near future. In my head I imagine rooms full of bureaucrats in meetings scratching their heads and wondering how to deal with this.
I was told no, when I asked in-store.Is Tesla HK even selling battery upgrades currently (e.g. 70 to 75 or 60 to 75) post delivery?
AP1 on the new hardware will be what we get unless we upgrade to AP2. That's what is occurring in the US and what I heard from my delivery rep.
- Elon said ALL cars.
- The mobileye partnership is dead.
- It would be hard for Tesla to keep AP1 just for Hong Kong.
- We've seen this before (a week or two delay for HK website to be updated after US news release

Tesla will likely need to get approval for AP 2 before it is made available in Hong Kong. If I need to pay 30k total I am okay with that to get AP2, however if Tesla trys to tack on an extra 10k for a total of 40k I will stick with AP1

I can't see how this is any different than taking your car back to the dealership to get updated maps for your GPS.
Really not sure what you mean here. When you say AP1 on the hardware, I thought AP1 was the old hardware and AP2 is the new?
From what I understand, there are now four option packages:
AP 1.0 offers 1 and 2.
- Basic Autopilot package (Autopilot safety features)
- Autopilot convenience features package
- Enhanced Autopilot package
- Full autonomy package
AP 2.0 offers 1, 2, 3 and 4.
From what is being said elsewhere on this forum, people who ordered cars up until the announcement were expecting to get AP 1.0 and feature package 2. Those people will now be getting AP 2.0 and feature package 2 (better hardware, same features). They will be given the option of upgrading to feature packages 3 and 4 by paying the difference.
What if the dealer charged HK$1 for the GPS unit on delivery, but barely functional. Then, six months after delivery activated it for HK$30,000 tax free? That is what they worry about.
I don't want to get caught up in the terminology too much but our functionally will only be 1 and 2 per your statement and we will have to pay for 3 and 4 despite having the better hardware.
