Would this be the right cable?
J1772 to 62196-2 32A Electric Vehicle Charging Plugs / Cable
Hmm I just noticed the official HK specifications page took off the J1772 adaptor!

It's now showing:
Charging
10 kW capable on-board charger with the following input compatibility: 85-265 V, 45-65 Hz, 1-40 A (Optional 20 kW capable Twin Chargers increases input compatibility to 80 A)
Peak charger efficiency of 92%
10 kW capable Universal Mobile Connector with 220 V adapters
I still haven't got a reply from Tesla about this. Interesting find, I guess they realise that people are going to demand the best charging capability in HK, unsurprisingly. Problem for me is that I have my electrical guy coming this week to do some other work and I would be a good chance to wire my charging point if I was confident what to put in.

The key question is what do you have at your MCB?
If your MCB has hundreds of amps free, then run an 80A circuit to be ready for the HPWC when it comes.
If you are current limited, but want a fixed installation, then run wires for 40A to be ready for a reduced-current HPWC when it comes.
If you are current limited, and want mobility, then put in a 32A single phase blue socket.
At this point, given what Tesla is saying, I would not suggest a 13A BS1363 socket.
13A will take an 85kwh battery 30 hours to charge.....

I'm a bit concerned about your last point, i.e. "...given what Tesla is saying, I would not suggest a 13A BS1363 socket."
What did Tesla say? Why do you not suggest it? It's what I have at my car park now, and when I asked Linda, she said it would be fine!
For others, we have time, and I suggest it is best to wait for Tesla's official word on what they will be providing with the car, and what adaptors will be available. For home use, with your own socket, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I agree, and that's exactly what I'm doing. I don't even have a parking spot yet as I live at apartment building and currently has no car. So there's nothing I can do until Tesla announces concrete technical details/guidelines for the whole installation/charging issue for the Model S in HK. Only then will I be able to negotiate with my estate with the necessary details on hand and find a parking spot where I can install the EVSE properly. At this moment, I don't even know the exact arrival date of my MS so I'm not going to rent a spot now and start paying for nothing.
It wasn't there at launch, for Hong Kong. They don't have one for European style sockets, yet.
