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

[Silverbird]

Please keep adding information, and do correct me if I placed you in the wrong position. Feel free to PM me or reply to this thread.

With the first Signature Model S cars delivered in Hong Kong on July 23rd, the list has begun to fill up with actual delivery dates - sweet!

Please let me know if you have any better information than what's in the table - fields in yellow means missing information

I am curious how many HK orders there are, when delivery can be expected if you order right now, and when confirmations begin, we can start our own guessing, like they do in other countries. I think we should keep HK separate as well, though I suggest also to list in the "reservation tally". Rumours are "over 400 orders" as of May 2014, and increasing, maybe a 1,000 deliveries by year end.

Sensors: NA
Light option: NA
Fog light: NA

I think sensors now come on all cars, while fog light is included in the Tech package?

I personally don't think any Model S should be delivered without sensors or tech package. And speaking of that, now that the list contains 50 members, let's look at some of the stats:


- Of those 50 cars, no order of Model 60D as well as green or brown paint (Those colours not available any more).

- 2/3 of the cars are some kind of performance model, P85, P85+ or P85D

- 2/3 of the cars have either tan or black leather seats

- Only three ordered textile seats (including myself), a 60, 85 and P85

- 1/4 of the cars are white (3 variants), while 1/5 of the cars are red (2 variants)

- By the latest addition of a silver metallic paint (user "Silverbird"), the count doubled from 1 to 2 cars (Silverbirds and my car). I am very surprised that this color choice is so rare, 1 out of 25, so there are 6.5 times more white cars than silver metallic.

- As the only two parameters, tech package and sensors are the only ones that all 50 users ordered.

- 9 of 10 have the pano roof: It gives more headroom at the back, allows for a roof rack to be mounted and at this time of year, open sunroof and no air con - wow, it's nice.

- 3 of 4 chose the air suspension, which is likely to have more maintenance cost over the years. The remaining fourth probably wanted a firmer and fixed ride with coils.

- Dual chargers, light and sound package are all hovering just over 50% subscription.

- 6 of 10 wanted fog lights. I chose not to, and I believe this is only for the front: I think all cars have the rear fog light installed (it can only be turned on when the headlights are already on)

- Straight 19" and gray turbine 21" are each supported with around 4 of 10

- Only one car had requested and was approved for warp drive. It will be interesting to see how warp drive matches the P85D? Apparently this system also allows for ceiling parking, see post #793

You have no idea how easy that ceiling parking option is to use, just select "ceiling" and the warp coil does the rest.

Good luck getting that one through the HK Transport Department, they can't even approve rear facing child seats, web browser and seem reluctant about the autopilot. But warp drive tech? Fingers crossed, I cannot wait to see it in action.

Does it only to ceilings, or also walls? And what about the interior, are all your belongings tossed all over? In any case, very cool technology, yes, I am very envious!

In 100 years, we will see the same shift again: As personal transportation is shifting from ICE cars to electric, the next revolution will be into levitation and so on. Maybe even in less than 100 years?

I spoke to their chief engineer LaForge, and he assured me that as long as I had the hazard lights on I could do whatever I liked. Given that I have seen these used to indicate a turn, as an extra brake light, as well as to reverse around a roundabout having missed your exit, in HK, anything is possible.

Delivery now scheduled for 14Dec, so exactly the expected date Tesla gave at the beginning.

Ordered on 12Sep and delivery on 14Dec so only 3 months waiting time. Looks like Tesla improved a lot on this

 

[thvicny]

Don't know whether to love or hate tesla.
Hate : three months delay.
Love : latest hardware
tomorrow is the big day

Nice! Looking forward to see you at the rally, in your (almost) brand, new Model S

So who's going to fly the helicopter for the aerial view? We can contact HK ATC and ask them to shut down airspace as necessary, for that helicopter to follow us unhindered

You get the ATC clearance, I get the helicopter

No, we need you in the rally, Vmax. Maybe we could just get a drone instead, as I mentioned elsewhere, how cool would it be with an open pano roof, fly the drone from inside the (lead) car, out the pano roof, above the convoy and see all the cars pass underneath?

It is very exciting with the deliveries. It has been dormant for a while, now with this new wave of deliveries, I hope to see many more Model S on the streets.

More cars => More demand for chargers => More chargers installed (I HOPE!)

Anyone dare to guess how many Model S on the streets so far in HK? I say it must be at least 500. 750 by new year?

Come on Vmax! 2pm!!! Why 10am?

 

[Lerxt]

I've taken the 12:00 slot. Does it take 2 hours to hand over? Anyone know how long it takes?

 

[thvicny]

Finally the wait ends.

Love your graphic!

Did you all get your cars as planned? Will update the list when I have more data come in, come back soon and check details are correct please. Judging on your VIN, it must have been in the first months of 2014, unless you took over a deferred, non-autopilot enabled car?

Thank you for the submission, 3fiftynine. I need at least this information as well, to place you into the list:

Deposit date:
Confirmation date:

Judging on your VIN it must be the first months of 2014, unless you took over an "abandoned child" from someone who wanted autopilot hardware.

Yes I took a "deferred stock" unit. I took delivery this morning 11am I asked the delivery specialist about autopilot, she went looking around at front and said "hardware is installed" but TD approval isn't ready to use it.
