I also spoke to the Kai Tak manager. I understood those SC spots were not exclusive to Tesla. I did discuss with him about possibilities to reserve those four SC spots until certain number of cars were reached. Example: cones would be removed if 100 or more cars were in (80% usage excluding that...

I was in Tsuen Wan Government parking yesterday and realized the first three spots with medium chargers were good for all cars. I tried to reason with the management company that there were only 5 media chargers and more importantly these medium chargers were located right at the entrance...

Most delightful experience on supercharging at Kai Tak this evening - all drivers were in the car or near by. They just unplugged as soon as charging completed. Happy waiting.

Agreed Kowloon and NT need super chargers more than the HK island. I think Tesla should stop putting those super chargers in shopping malls but some more open areas to maximize the turnover while keeping related costs in check. My experience from Hopewell in last few months did suggest almost...

I think the problem is mainly on the waiting time. I am pretty sure people who are buying iPhone 6 now do expect Apple will probably launch iP6s or even iP7 in the future but not at the point when they are about to get their iP6. What would be the average waiting time in US to get a MS? Let's...

TSLA fell almost 12% after the introduction of D. It seems to have created more questions than answers at least in a short run.

sure AWD only for snowing...

As an existing MS owner (2 months), I understand the rule of the game and largely fine with it. However, I do understand fully on those who are about to take or have just got their MS here in HK: from the design studio, full option P85D costs about HKD100k (~10%) more than similar equipped P85...

Some photos on the reported P85D. The dashboard display seems quite different. My lap of terror in the Tesla D | The Verge

Not sure I should put it under this thread and my apology if I should do it somewhere else. Just to share and please do take action when you face similar situation - Date: 2 Oct 2014 Time: 13:52 - 14:50 Place: Kai Tak car park Action taken: called Mr. Chan of the Kai Tak car park management...

Thanks for the heads-up. I just cancelled the scheduled update.

It sounds a lot of fun. I am in.

Great idea. Is it possible to have it on Android? A lot of people here in Hoing Kong (including myself) are using Android phone...

Thx for the supports. I believe most people are aware charging spots (especially those with super or quick chargers) are functionally a lot more than just parking. The central idea is to promote a change on our habit from ICE - get back to the carpark despite we haven't finished shopping for...

Shout out to Tesla owners: due to limited super charge stations in HK (or any charging station for that matter), let's develop a "charging etiquette". Pls remove your car from the space after you complete the charge for others to use. I will also leave a note at the dashboard with my contact...

Hellow Hank, you mentioned in your original thread you would use a better OBDII cable on the hindsight; does this better OBDII cable have proper markings to make thing easier?

hi HankLloydRight- read your 10 steps and it is brilliant! Thanks for the advice. So if I have the pre-wired harness, I may chop off the existing 12V power adapter, get it connected to the pre-wired harness and then plug in the ODBII plug on the other end will do, right?

Hi there, I did not purchase the magic pro exactly because of that. You are right that to enable the surveillance function when no one is in the car, you need to extract power not from the 12V plug but directly from the battery. It may involve connection to the fuse box - an area I dare not touch.

You welcome. Just plug the power cord (comes with the dash cams) into the 12V socket next to the USB port will do.

Sure. I guess you mean the video on installation, right? Pls allow me some time and I will try to tape it.

Hi jkhfung, I installed it myself and the works were indeed not as hard. Because MS is large, it has plenty of room for you to hide the wire. The blackvue 650 includes two cams (front and rear). To put the system in place, I connected: 1. the power source from the 12V plug to the front cam...

Hi, in a normal 13A socket. I would say it is quite safe as far as the connector is concerned - it was at most warm after 7 or 8 hours charging. Also, it allows you to set the limit on current (max 10A; correspondent rate ~9km/hr) and thus another firewall.

10A BS 1363 mobile charger My apology - forgot to post until I saw that thread again. Available from Tesla for HKD3700. Operate from 6-10A. So far performance very good if you don't mind 7-10km/hr

Installed the Blackvue 650 (front and rear cam, connected to the 12V power outlet) for about a week. The cables fit well in model s in terms of length and "hiding". I had concerns on the cable conneting to the rear carmer but it turned on it was long enough and well hidden. Like the wi-fi...

In case this is your first time installing rim protector, do follow the instruction and not to drive fast within certain hours after installation. Also, do check the tube is firmly inserted. The large rim diameter combined with fast rotation put every connecting part under incredible pressure...

Enable shuffle mode for music play from the USB drive.

Thanks Dennis. That is about 4.8km/day and with no app-interaction. My loss seemed still in acceptable range. By the way, I forgaot to state the initial condition: my car had initial range of 334km (209mi). Not sure the loss is linear or has flattening slope later on.

Hi - would like to have an idea on vampire drains. I parked my cars for the past 3 days and the average power drain was about 6.6km / day. I did wake the car a 2-3 times a day via android app. As HK is relatively small, I safely may asusme tempreature difference is minimal. Mind to share yours? Thx

My 2 cents on delivery: 1. do check about the light - happened to see a MS in front of mine had only the left rear light on when moving backward. Suggest to check all the light. 2. remember to adjust the suspension to "very high" before driving out - there is a step from the walkway to the...

Dear Mark, I bought the mobile connector (BS1363) from Tesla and can confirm the price is HKD3,700. Not sure if that is the 10A connector you want to know. They will pass that cable to me tomorrow with the car. I will take a photo then. Let me know if there is anything I may do.

Agree please do complain. I did that every time I saw with the hope that it could draw the car park management office to at least block those charging places.

Thanks Sony. Yeap I honestly thought about chemical coating as the math is there so long as it gave similiar result. I changed my mind when I was given the XPEL flim which I tried to tear but in vain. So the logic of protection is different in my humble opinion though I have yet to see the...

hi ekwng, for entire xpel wrapping, it costed about HKD35k. I thought about doing the front part, lower part of the 4 doors and 2 mirrors and was quoted about HKD20k not much trade-off really. There are a numbers of discussion on coating, most notably xpel vs. suntek. Heard the latter was...

Lucky you...I couldn't help and went ahead for the full body xpel coating (deposit paid) . I really should have waited a bit but saw the reviews (mainly in the US) were mostly +ve....anyway have to save more in other areas :(

Thank you capt666. I tried but was prompted "No Vehicles Linked to This My Tesla Account". Guess I have to wait until delivery has been done.....

Hi ekwng, I guess you are using the Tesla Model S Beta on Android, right? Did the login name and password come automatically during delivery or you had to set it up yourself? I am getting my ms this friday so I hope I can use this app by then. Thanks a lot for your advice :)

hi, am thinking about coating (with protection flim). The quotation was about HKD35k. Any one used that? Thoughts welcome. Thanks

Thanks a lot DITB. Not realized I am on the list :) More information here: Deposit: April 2013; P85; Leather:Tan; Decor: Cbn; Sig red; Full options except Csle; 21 turbine grey Also, the staus shown on My Tesla changed from "in transit"to "Production Complete" "Your Model S Signature is being...

Read the following news on Bloomberg. Seems nothing verified though. Chinese Hackers Target Tesla Model S Electric Car 2014-07-21 15:48:54.895 GMT Matthew Sparkes July 21 (Telegraph) -- Tesla Motors has promised to fix any “legitimate vulnerability” after Chinese hackers reportedly...

Read the news on Bloomberg last week; apology for posting that a bit late. Just be careful when you use the mobile app. Heard once the mobile connection is turned off from the car, it is safe. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++...

Thanks again Vmax. I will try to call Tesla in this week and post latest under the thread you suggested. Fingers crossed :)

Hi Kairrson, mine is S39490.

Thanks for the heads-up Vmax. Kind of expected as I haven't heard anything from them since 9 July.

Hi, am new here. Ordered my MS in Mar 2013, yet to get my car though was told I could on 12 Aug. Visited the super charge station on last weekend at Kai Tak, seemed all set :)
