    Reverse parking a S

    I can't seem to reverse park my MS perfectly, its 50/50 either its straight or angled. I guess I'm old school and still look through the rear, I have to remind myself...there is a bloody rear camera. Never had this problem reverse parking my bmw 3 series, audi A3 or Honda Civic. Anyone else?

    Model S 2016 headlights too 'bright'?

    Is there a way to adjust the headlight or find out if there is anything wrong with them? I always get oncoming cars flashing their headlights at me at night so I'm assuming my headlights are too bright OR they think I have my high beam on It gets even brighter when I put my High beam on...

    Worn frayed seat belts warranty?

    Bought a used MS 2016 with only 42,000 km. 1 of the things I didn't check until pickup was the seat belts. Front belts, both passenger and driver side are frayed on the edges, threads showing. (my 3 series bmw when I sold it was 110,000km and I remembered not a single frayed thread) Is it...

    Looking to buy, what to lookout for and what changes are done over time

    The Free Supercharging isn't a big deal UNLESS.... 1) you live next to a Supercharger....like literally. I have no idea on your personal background, but for most people, the idea of 'finish work, don't go home, go queue at SC, charge, then go home, repeat every couple of days subject to miles/km...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Can you not just 'forget home network' on the wifi? I assume you have wifi extending from your home into garage. My car is in an underground car park, zero wifi coverage and it can't download the Updates via the 3G connectivity So I'm stuck, unable to download 2020.12.5 unless I go to the...

    3 phase 20A cabling for home charging

    Well, finally got my car and wall connector was installed. 2016 75D 16A Three Phase 220-240V Charge rate is around 45-50 km/hr. 90% gives 321km That works out around 9.5-10.2kWh Trying to find how it can display kWh instead of dist/hr

    3 phase 20A cabling for home charging

    thanks, will do when I get the car in a few days. curious why yours is set to #2 8A right? I would have thought it would be #4 at 13A (80% of breaker line)

    Thanks David -I don't have my car yet, should be in the next few days -I asked because power supply to Wall Connector isn't turned on yet, figured I would have time to change it myself -Asked Tesla tech and same as you, they said it should not matter, I would never get the full 20A from the...

    2016 CPO but registered in 2017. Warranty question

    That's really crazy that you guys in US usually can't see the car if it is at your local SC. I get that you can't see the car if its on the other side of the country. Granted Hong Kong is tiny and there is only 1 SC here, I managed to put an order fee down on 2 Used 75Ds, went to inspect both...

    Trying to buy my first Tesla, need advice.

    Since the car is over 4 years and over 50,000 miles, it means you will get the 2 years warranty and 40,000ish miles....up to 100,000 miles. Did they tell you how much it will cost? Vehicle Warranty

    Trying to buy my first Tesla, need advice.

    How long are you planning on keeping car for? 2, 4yrs or way more than that? Tesla Used or Private, pro and cons of both, I would say more Pros to Tesla Used. You should weigh up the potential cost of repairs vs supercharger. I'm still waiting on my Tesla Used MS, but from what I've read, I...

    Those with MCU1,AP2.5 and no FSD - what will you do ?

    I think you answered the biggest question, Do you believe FSD is of any value. $4000+2500 is a lot of money for MCU2, of course you will be getting the better faster processing HW3.0, FSD functions. How much time do you spend in the car? will it make a day vs night difference for you? You could...

    Facelift S - Cabin Air Filter with/without HEPA Filter

    anyone actually know the item number of the cabin filter for facelifted 2016 ms? Tried looking for one on amazon but most are for pre-facelift especially the ones with the 'better/more reviews' There was one but 2 reviews and 1 said...doesnt fit tesla shop itself doesn't even have it

    Facelift S - Cabin Air Filter with/without HEPA Filter

    That is the HEPA filter, I'm surprised he could take out Frunk and leave the HEPA in place. There should be a Cabin Air filter too, behind your glove box....if your car is late 2016+ If its earlier model, its what Doanster1 said, under hood.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Your support thread states Late March for HW2.0 FSD cars, when exactly is 'Late March' will probably depend on supply and queue At least you guys know its available, don't think it will ever happen in Hong Kong, at least according the the sales manager here when I showed them the Infotainment...

    3 phase 20A cabling for home charging

    Thanks, I did look at the Hong Kong region stuff but its pretty 'inactive' I did see a video made in 2014 about a HK Tesla Wall Connector and the guy actually showed the manual, it did say 20A circuit, max charging rate in car 16A but I cant find the actually reference anymore. It was talking...

    FSD/AP3 for AP2.0 owners now MCU2 upgrade becoming available?

    hi, from my understanding of the announcements, this guy did the upgrade from MCU 1 to 2 from HW2.5 +FSD, which is why on item 7, it says 2.5 to 3.0 which is the new FSD computer. If you upgrade MCU 1 to 2, which I believe is eligible for AP1 cars too, they won't upgrade your HW to 3. Are you...

    I just put a 2nd deposit down and need advise....

    Well I just got confirmation from the agent, nothing written though. He said: -FSD has been paid BUT its disabled because its illegal to use in HK. -its basically an AP1 car with more cameras and better accuracy, you cannot use any of the FSD functions in HK. With no way of test driving it to...

    I just put a 2nd deposit down and need advise....

    vin is 5YJSB7E20GF166715 This is a 2016 car, so its AP2 on hardware 2.0. Even if FSD is paid for and WILL transfer to me, I cannot expect the 'free' upgrade to hardware 3.0 because it isn't possible at the moment. They need to find some retrofit for it and there maybe issues with compatibility...

    I just put a 2nd deposit down and need advise....

    Thanks. Sometimes the agents don't even know what is going on or what will happen. You would think the Sales team and Service agents would have access to 'detail car specs' and Elon's announcements in their system. FSD enabled....yes no EAP enabled...yes no MCU 1 to 2 upgrades and component...

    opinions on trade-in offer for my S85

    Trade in will always always be lower than private sales. The company taking your car needs to make a profit and if they are forwarding the car to a 'Used car company' , that company will want to make a profit too. The pros of trade in....you drive in, give your keys....x weeks later, pickup new...

    HEPA on CPO

    Put a deposit on a 75D CPO which comes with a HEPA filter. From its history that it was replaced in Nov 2018, so still have another year or so left before I have to replace it.

    Another Autopilot codes question

    Trying to make sense of these codes and what they provide. AP1 is usually clearer: Tesla website states---Autopilot Hardware (this is ALWAYS hardware 1, mobileye) EV-CPO states---------DA02 Autopilot Convenience Features Means autopilot is active and paid for. AP2 is more confusing: 2 codes...

    Are you required to inform Tesla after purchasing Used (non CPO) MS

    Thanks, from what I've been reading on here, it looks like Free Supercharger and even in some cases AP versions are being disabled once the car returns to Tesla to be 'refurbished, re-warrantied, re-sold as CPO' Guess theres always 2 sides to the debate, it isn't a $1m HKD car anymore, some...

    Are you required to inform Tesla after purchasing Used (non CPO) MS

    So I'm looking for a 75D MS, being in contact with the local Tesla agent, missed several chances He recently inform me that one of his client who purchased a CPO 75D 6 months ago from him is looking to sell it. Air suspension, free supercharging, AP1, 21 wheels, sunroof etc etc I asked about...

    What to buy 2016 Model S or 2018 Model S used car

    I'm 99.9% sure you will love it and won't notice a difference in the MCU since you never had one. Congrats, I'm going through the same too, AP1 vs AP2 car...., MCU2 is out of the question for me since I'm looking at CPO 2016s/2017s

    60D/70D upgrade to 75D?

    2012 MS that are coming to end of their warranty

    Good to know, I'm sure it will be more expensive here to repair but guess I should only worry about that in 4 yrs time. Since they stopped production of the 60/70/75 packs, guessing 'replacement' will be refurbished ones. MCU1 with the yellow border are being replaced with MCU2 I heard?
