... which is not really a problem - as long as owners of existing parking lots in shopping malls, super markets and so on, will allow installation of superchargers.
Superchargers, although designed as road trip range extenders, will be usable in Hong Kong for charging of cars that cannot charge "at home". I wonder what Tesla will do regarding that, will it still be free, forever? Imagine all those who will be charging exclusively by super chargers.
By the time we say "Happy New Year" next time, we will be all the more wiser in these matters.
Tesla Motors, be proactive here, please, aggressive about both superchargers, as well as supporting Tesla MS owners in persuading car park owners to let them install chargers.
I'm more close to Tsuen Wan then to Tuen Mun but I use that part of CPR all the time. Now you've mentioned it, yes I forgot there're a few charging points in the mall parking already (but honestly who use them?)
Nice picture, DITB. It seems far fetched, but that public parking area in front of the Gold Coast Hotel (which isn't in your google map) could be a good place to install a bigger solar canopy of Supercharger Station. That would be amazing with the amount of sunshine during the summer. But I really doubt government would let TM do it even if TM decides the location is plausible to build one.
Yes, most if not all of that land is government land and Tesla will not get it. The only option is parking in Malls in HK and perhaps Science Park and a few government car parks. Besides, Tesla is not BYD so it is likely they will be quietly obstructed at every turn. The mainland authorities will not allow Tesla to become the dominant player.
Heard from someone in the technical side of Tesla HK that they are planning on a "few" Superchargers in HK but nothing can be revealed yet.

From what we now know, is that the infrastructure will come before the cars do, so I guess if the cars are coming in July/August, we will be seeing the first supercharger very soon. Keep an eye on them folks!
Yeah, I talked to Linda over the phone last week about their Charger Validation program, she said Supercharger will be available in the summer in HK and their supercharger experts already in HK and started some site works.

Please note that there is a "Asia" tab in Tesla Motors Supercharger page: Supercharger | Tesla Motors
The tab is right under the bar graph. So far there is one dot.

According to the "coming soon" map, Tesla is planning to open 14 supercharger in China. There are 4 dots in Hong Kong/Guangzhou area, seems 3 dots are located in Hong Kong. The last one locates between Guangzhou and Hong Kong (possibly Guangshen highway).
BTW Two supercharger are currently open in Shanghai.
Good catch waidy! Also you can toggle the bar below the map to "coming soon" which shows more dots on the map. There are three dots near Hong Kong area as far as I can see, but I am not sure if all of them are Hong Kong. Possible that only one is Hong Kong and the other two are Shenzhen and Macau as they are slightly away from Hong Kong...
Yes, I noticed the same thing just today, as I was showing a friend what superchargers are. We were going to look at Europe, and oh, there was Asia now as an option (finally). Too bad you cannot zoom in, or click the dots, for more precise info.
