Quite often you want to go back and find some previous discussion about a regular occurring problem. I was thinking it would be nice with a thread where this post #1 would be an A to Z list with links to mainly this forum, but also external links, where applicable. There is also room for short definitions and explanations, mainly for new users.

PLEASE NOTE that this is a Hong Kong Tesla Motors localised Wiki. I wanted to create it as a sticky thread in the Hong Kong forums, however I cannot see how to make it a Wiki there.
There will also be general stuff of interest to anyone with a Tesla Motors vehicle, however, it is not meant to contain local information for other areas.
Hong Kong: Tesla Motors Wiki - FAQ - Index - Glossary
Some mix of the above, find what you are looking for searching this page, as an alternative to using the search function.
It would be mainly for those of us who either own and/or drive a Tesla Motors car in Hong Kong - at the moment Model S or Roadster, but later on also for Model X, III and what else is coming.
Feel free to add or edit, but please keep it Hong Kong specific.
Please supply a direct link to relevant post # if it isn't starting from post #1 (right click, copy link, in the top right corner of the relevant posting) and remember to add a short description of what it is about. Keep only one entry for each subject, ie "Car alarm, see Alarm System" so that only one entry has to be updated.
A
AC charging: Using alternating current, like what is found in most wall outlets. When charging via AC, the Model S uses 1 or 2 onboard charging units, while DC charging bypass these chargers. Superchargers, ChaDeMo and CCS uses DC charging, the rest is AC charging (as per February 2015)
Alarm system: Question-How-to-leave-your-friend-in-the-car
App for Model S/X/III: Tesla-Model-S-Android-and-iPhone-app-User-Experience
Autotoll: Transponder installed in a car to allow for automatic payment of bridge and tunnel charges. For the Tesla Model S, it is recommended to have it installed inside the nose cone rather than in the windscreen. Tesla Motors will usually be able to assist, more here: Autotoll tag installation AutoToll Club website: Autotoll Club (english)

C

ChaDeMo: A Japanese charging standard using DC (like superchargers). Performance lies lower than superchargers but higher than any AC charging. As of February 2015, we are still waiting for a ChaDeMo adapter for the HK market. The availability of ChaDeMo stations in Hong Kong is very limited, and from Japanese Model S owners, it seems there are compatibility problems.
