Had a great day here today at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel.
Despite not having a reservation for a test drive, I managed to get one anyway.
There are 4 cars in Hong Kong now, all used by TM Engineering, just about 24/7. Using them for this event was apparently a struggle between sales and engineering. Thank you, engineering, for letting us try the RHD MS!
I managed to gauge as much (via stealthy interrogation technique!), that orders right now are more than 400, but less than 1000.
TM HK are facing lots of challenges here, in good old traditional and conservative Honkers.
Customs took their ~two week delay for just being ... customs, and TD was the administrative nightmare one would expect from HK.
With that many orders already finalized, I can understand how TM must get it right the first time already.
Superchargers are an issue on several fronts. Getting the spots, having enough electricity available, and much more. Strangely enough (or predictably?), there isn't a huge interest in getting superchargers installed in existing car parks. It's seem like a number of locked spots which then cannot be used for ICE parking! And when other EV brands are all pushing THEIR standard as well, it's ... confusing for the shopping mall owners as well.
More later
Great photos DITB, I knew you will be reporting it!! Wish there is more. I am actually thinking about making a video for my blog and YouTube channel, but not sure if TM allows this. Derek is going to booked me in for 25th after 5pm. I'm hoping that the weather is good by then.
DITB, this is great! Thanks for your effort and looking forward to seeing your video!
Yes, the test cars have Google maps. Nothing has been released since they are still working on it. As far as I know, engineering is not only testing wall chargers, but also the coverage in Hong Kong of the maps. Especially in denser areas there seem to be some problems with accuracy and GPS/Google performance. I am not really sure how switching from Google to a downloaded database could help - maybe the problem lies more in loading data real time at all times and places, rather than the accuracy? If the map database is on a disk in the car, and updates automatically, while still boasting real time traffic via 3G, it might not be a bad thing. I can imagine the frustration if the map doesn't display simply because it cannot get the data.This is half my guesses - what the problem(s) seem(s) to be, and what the final solution will be, remains to be seen.Thank You DITB! Is that a google map on the screen? :smile:
Nice video, thanks for posting it. How was the build quality of the car?
Thanks for the detailed review DITB. Will you be coming to the test drive next weekend? Because the road condition will be very different than around the Disneyland. I am hoping that I can get a feel of how the MS is doing around corners (especially on a P85+!), cant wait.....
Nice video, thanks for posting it. How was the build quality of the car?
love that you wore a tesla t shirt.
You can get one of ours (not used very much), I can get more next time I go to the USA (which won't be until second half of June).You can also order it online, as well as see the entire selection:Shop Tesla Gear ApparelI wanted to get a onesie but they don't sell it in Hong Kong
