I am curious how many Model S have been delivered to customers in the UK so far? Does anyone know?

I think many of us here can share your frustrations. The main issue is that the sales in HK promised too many things way too early before Tesla HK had clearance from the HK Gov and TD. I personally blame more on TD than on Tesla HK. Whenever I get frustrated over the whole Tesla sitation, I step...

So it's kind of like a 'moving average'

Thanks for the info Waidy. I wonder when they will enable 40A charging

Reminder: strap your kids down!

A few of my sofas at home are in Alcantara. It's actually quite resistant to dirt and even spills, but then i have no kids/pets etc around. But it is very cozy.

love that you wore a tesla t shirt.

Thank you very much for your posts. Very informative.

I am actually more concerned who do ask to install the dashcam? I do not want someone who has no knowledge of the Model S to take mine apart for the wiring.

Cross-post. This looks interesting: Power Japan Plus

I know as much as the website/video says, so no idea! But if the claims are true, this is one interesting technology... batteries using cotton! - - - Updated - - - other writeups: Dual-Carbon Battery: Same Energy Density, Safer, Longer Life Than Lithium-Ion, Says Power Japan Plus (this one has...

It says the CTO also worked on the Model S battery. See the CTO's bio here: Our Team || PowerjapanPlus

DITB, that is not a bad idea. If they do that as a surcharge for Tesla owners in paid parking lots, it's not such a bad deal. I just hope they do not partner up with one of those car-washing companies and make it a truly independent operation.

So they won't be truly 'free'. HK really presents an unique challenge for Tesla. There's really zero free 'space'. How crazy is this town?! One problem with having them in regular carparks is that people will park the car and go shopping... or go watch a movie. so they may park and take up a...

A sales told me the lack of Google Map is a licensing issue. But I usually take anything sales tell me with a grain of salt.

Yes.

I bet you the answer is "yap!"

Pyetty much confirmed. I posted a photo showing that the web icon has been completely removed from the ui.

I was told delivery may be late July, early August. The cars are ready, but the Service Center is not. They want to have the Service Center ready before they deliver.

Ok, from these demo cars, we found out another function has been crippled! Do the HK Model S run a diff firmware?! After the no third-row option, now no web browsing, the HK gov once again shows us how rigid and behind they are! No Web Browsing! Apparently HK gov does not allow it, so the whole...

btw these are demo cars, not for customer delivery. and i was told that no 3G connection yet, but using your iPhone as a hotspot, the Tesla can go online and can load Google Map. - - - Updated - - - FWIW, the Tesla can also display Chinese (e.g. songs names in chinese)

It's charging at 32A/212V at 28km/hr. The meter said 29km, and it will take 14 hrs 20 mins to charge it. I do not know what level he set it to... Std or Max Range.

Looks like charger testing has begun in HK. It is currently set to 32A

Thanks! Done!

Just placed my order today. I only see a RN number. What is that? Will I get another number down the road? What is the process? Do share! Thanks.

:biggrin:

not in my case! =) I didn't need to ask for permission from mgt.

Thanks!

That is why I am here to seek for support from the community! :biggrin:

I read on the Draft manual that the unit is rated IP44. Any comments on that? I live in an extremely humid part of HK, with water literally running down the exterior wall like a waterfall during spring time. I am a little worried about the waterproof aspect of the charger.

Anyone knows, if I place an order today (2014-05-06), what would be the edd?

I saw the guide. So if 3 Phase is really a reality, it will require another wall unit?

oh i see. Thanks for clarifying.

You expect a 40% wastage? Honestly, even at 100% wastage, it will still be a bargain!

But I thought all current Model S on the road are using Google Map?

Thank you very much for pointing me to the thread on the third row. Too bad. And given how slow or impossible it is to change these laws I guess all hopes are lost!

Thank you so much! Irresistible!

I was told that the Model S in HK will not come with Google Map, but something else. Anyone know what they have in mind? Can I run Google Map regardless off their browser even if the NAV defaults to another map? Just very used to Google Map and do not want to try something new.

When I went to test drive the P85 the other day, I was told that the third row seats will not be available as an option. The sales told me that our forward-looking government has simply denied the inclusion of the third row seats as they do not fully qualified as 'seats' by the HK Gov. I am...

How much does it cost (HK Island) to charge the 85kWh battery? What about Kowloon? Thanks.
