So this is cheaper than the one from Tesla, the plug in the picture isn't good for Hong Kong. Isn't that we've been told to limit current to 10A when using the Mennekes cable? For those who has a reg plate for China perhaps this is good.

So we might need an adaptor for the plug, but that's easy. Limiting current to 10A yes, we can do that through the control on the 17" display
 
Tesla Motors own version of this charger (NOT the Mennekes), which is sold on some of the European markets, it will actually provide 13A or even 16A or 32A (depending on which adapter you plug into it). All this only single phase, though. But at least, they are not limited to 10A. I guess TM is afraid of inferior wall plug installations in Hong Kong, or that people are silly enough to plug it into an extension cord.
