oh, i forgot the name nor have i have the receipt with me now, but it's a small shop in To Kwa Wan. it's at Ha Heung Road just being the Tin Hau Temple. i only went it as just drove past it and saw the guy changing tire for somebody else - the guy did it properly and paid good attention, his...

do note that whilst buying electricity to store on their powerwall then selling it back at peak at higher price sounds exploitative, it's in fact beneficial to both the electricity company and household battery owner. it's always a fine balance between losing excess when operating at base load...

do people even bid for vanity plates in the secondary market nowadays? i think apart from "I love you" sold at launch at $1.4mil when this scheme first came out, i haven't really read much. however, OP is an account made with one post purely in effort to flog a vanity plate, no doubt they do...

your idea is sound - what public policy needs in order to push buyers towards EV is the tax parity between EV and ICE. the bullshit about road congestion is easily mitigated by raising FRT for ALL new cars, whilst maintaining the tax parity. say for a $800k EV, you pay $100k tax for a total of...

having gone thru annual check ups and mentioning everytime i have contact with Tesla HK, my mirrors are still way too dark when they auto-dim since they have never been properly addressed. now i just use the rear camera (always set to top half of main screen) and physically turning my head. oh...

video footage of new roadster launching from standstill (video pointed at 56:46, car launch is at 57:00 onwards)

As for the Tesla semi truck, it claims a 500 mile range with a 80,000lbs full load at highway 60km/h but i doubt any of us here are lining up outside the store for one

apologies for posting it in local HK forum, some of us may not see it otherwise Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveils a surprise new car: A ridiculously fast Roadster i have zero taste in car aesthetics so i'll leave the sujective praise up to others. here're some numbers! 2+2 seats 200 kwh battery...

agreed. not to piss on their bonfire, but a slow drive is EXACTLY how you lose support of those previously indifferent to the issue, which, is basically the majority of the general public. as if your everyday commute isn't stressful enough with the number of cars on the road and everyone...

it works on production cars. i have a pre-facelift 70D, and entering the "Performance" code lets me choose from 70D (labelled "Max"), 70, 60D and 60. i'd imagince higher models would just have more options. I've never put my car into 70 RWD to drift it tho, maybe i should when i feel reckless...

just a quick update, found a shop that replaced my tires with Michelin Primacy 3ST 19" at $1500 per tire, including balancing. pretty cheap i think. my old tires had enough centre/inner tread left for another 2-4k km (haven't even worn down to the warning nubs on centre treads), but the outer...

unfortunately i do not live nearby however, do you have a universal charge cable? they have the home appliance 3 prong UK standard plug and i think they run at 10A (or 13A?) 220V, which means you can plug into an outlet and get about 10km of charge an hour, one charge overnight should net you...

Thanks, any shop recommendation? I'd prefer the kowloon side, but HK island is also fine. Currently I don't really have a good shop contact to rely on.

the 19" tires on my model S are on their last leg now, and i'm looking for replacement - i'm reluctant to get them replaced by tesla hk since it's not necessary. has anyone got recommendations of a shop/ types of tires? i've read about certain tires made with some sort of fabric inside to...

have you checked your check-in baggage allowance?

technically, we were free to write to express our opinions on all budget-related topics in a given period, which i did. obviously tho, it's all for show. since when is a lowly peasant's opinion of any importance?

got it set to 80 km/h auto lowering there's a lot of city driving in HK and i've found the standard height is a bit comfier and less bumpy (am on 19" rims). i see others with 21" rims and fully lowered, that'd be a bit too bumpy for me on a daily basis

those who're planning to buy a car will buy one anyway, just that you'll end up going ICE rather than EV. If road congestion and air pollution are the two main issues the government's REALLY trying to tackle, they'd waive the FRT exemption for EV (so they do tax you for buying EV), and UP the...

urm since when have we seen gov officials admit fault?

at the risk of derailing the thread, there're a few things current/future EV manufacturers can learn from the whole Faraday Future fiasco just to point out a few things for our fellow readers to digest: 1) 235mph up pikes peak is very impressive indeed, 11:25.082 time (even with a "stop the...

sales cannabalisation is exactly why the major auto manufacturers drag their feet regarding EV. The reason why all the electric series from them look goofy isn't really because they think people that buy them WANT them to look goofy as shite, but rather that if the BMW i3 looked like a slightly...

the model S interior has a lot left to be desired to be honest, e.g. the whole minimalistic design looks very pleasant for some but for daily driving my car turns into a clutterfxxk of water bottles, towels, phones, spare batterys, small bags, book, tablet, shopping strewn all over the car. but...

looks like another round of dis-information campaign is doing its round now Koch brothers launch new misinformation campaign against electric cars Koch brothers launch new misinformation campaign against electric cars

how much juice do they provide? if they can manage 35km per hour of charge on a tesla, they'd be very attractive

It's ridiculous to have to even say this, but the U.S.gov under Trump is a whole different world. The EPA is now headed by Scott Pruitt, friend of the environment....NOT. I apologise as I'm on mobile so thisyou may want to Google to fact check, but basically we have a climate change denier...

Probably gated behind another $22 parking

I watched as Chan Mau Ball delivered his speech, 3 sentences saying HK has "too many cars" as if that's the actual reason. What we need is to keep the same tax parity between EV and ICE to steer consumers towards EV, for those that need to add another car onto HK's roads anyway but that's just...

I've given it more than 5 days but had no reply, I called via the LINK help line again to no avail after being forwarded to various people numerous times. I've also tried Mr.Fung's number above but it goes to a modem, with that signature modem dialing noise. Spiritually, I'm at a loss at the...

it seems a little on the high side, but do bear in mind that the remaining range shown on your screen isn't JUST how much battery is left, but it uses an algorithm to calculate it based on battery level, how much energy your average driving has been, how hot the batteries are and how much aircon...

tried it out in a friends car with the birds view, it's so good to have that function. i sure hope tesla can code this into our cars... not holding my breath for it tho - whilst there're cameras already in place, i sense hardware limitations that prohibit this

it'd solve his problem immediately yes, but do bear in mind this may make things worse for everyone in the long term. i'd still pay tho, waiting is a waste. as for changing your plates, there're loads of shops near the Cheung Sha Wan gov building (with the transport department) that do it -...

thanks! since they said they'll give me a reply "within 5 days", i'll wait till around 5pm today and call up if i haven't heard from them yet

no i didn't. the EV pass is always kept in the 70D in that slot under the big screen. which means it's always kept at one of the random crevices between the two front seats.

i've got an EV Pass that lets you park at select Link affiliated carparks free of charge 10am-10pm. lately it started showing "card is now expired" when i try to enter carparks with it. having looked on Link's website, they seem to have shut off application indefinitely. EV Pass so i called...

a few things i've heard about (have no solid proof but you can test yourself if you want to) 1. the cabin protection feature will NOT work when car battery is <20% 2.a. in the model X, the default setting is to NOT turn on the rear AC in the 2nd row if there's no weight on the seats (i.e. no...

if you wanna test it out, it's easy to just blu-tack your autotoll sticker that that suggested area and see if it works. dont worry if you go past the toll booth and it didn't register - you have an autotoll account and the tunnel company has camera that catches your license plate, they still...

i wonder how many of us can even benefit from homelink, since most people dont have their own garage with remote controlled doors. The Summon function is also non-existent here and we dont see a lot of discussion on it. i for one would welcome that function

1) haven't seen such thing so far 2) they can barely give out consistent answers when people ask them things

i respectfully disagree. The US is the US, what they do with their regulations etc are their business. the rest of the world (including HK) looks to them for pointers but that doesn't mean we just blindly follow whatever they put in place at all. every region has its own unique sets of traffic...

so anyone been releasing their inner Van Gogh on the touch screen? lets show some art work too good for the "publish" button! i've only done one drawing so far, for a friend who works with Leicester City and awaiting his model S delivery. But i promise more atrocious drawing and eye cancer are...

we dont know. we, on this sub-forum, have been quite happy to bring out our pitchforks and shove them at the TD's direction in the past year or so, be it to do with autopilot permissions, summon function, calendar and web browser etc etc.. but it turns out that for a few of these items, Tesla's...

you can at least plug the tire first, the typical shop charges $50-$80 HKD, it's a 10 min job. take wheel off car, find puncture area, bit of filing and sanding, plug, wheel back on. it's no internal patching and all that fancy stuff, but general small leaks can do with a quick plug like this...

you dont need to "disable" the Hill Hold at all. 1) stop the car on an upslope (front facing uphill) 2) press harder on the brake pedal until Hill Hold is active (i.e. when the "H" icon shows up on your dashboard) 3) take foot off of the brake pedal. the car stays still indefinitely, as Hill...

accidents of Tesla Model X's happening in hong kong, posted in the Tesla motor club hong kong sub forum... personally i cannot think of a forum more appropriate to post this in, can you?

not sure if that's actually the case. the lantau self driving scheme have equal number of quota for EVs and for ICE. it's just that the ICE quota gets filled in a flash on a daily basis. i've struggled to get quota even when camping on the website back when i had ICE.

the front "grill" could have had merit if they were functional - i.e. maybe imrproved heat dissipation for the battery radiators, at a cost of range. would make sense in a place like hong kong where range's not an issue, and some people want more performance for their cars. that would, of...

Not only the 85D badge, the bottom left rear panel gap also seems like a hack job compared to the right side

if resetting the screen doesn't work, maybe try a full reset of the car by restarting it? if you go into the driver control page, there is a section that let you fiddle with the parking brake and turning the car off - if you can turn it off and then wait like 10 seconds before turning back on...

dont expect too much from Tesla HK, they are still riding on the customer's goodwill with Tesla as a whole company but locally their work has been subpar at best... i have written a few posts regarding personal experience with them and personally, i'm just not impressed at all. having said that...
