Looks good in red, nice choice.

I think if I was to buy in I’d 100% get fully into the Tesla/EV culture. However, I’m just not feeling the 3

And also I don’t have a garage.. lol

The 18" hubcaps are hideous and were removed as soon as I got home. The wheels underneath are actually not that bad looking. Still, i'll eventually be putting new wheels on the list of things to do at some point.

what car are you replacing?
congrats

Any pics of the wheels without the hubcaps.

Tesla just called me...."your RHD model 3 is ready to be ordered, you can come and test drive it :)"
I asked:"is it dual motor?"
Tesla lady replied: "single motor"
**I hanged up**

I gave my car a rinse yesterday and it did. It looks pretty cool.

yray 08-29-2018 08:15 AM
why does the pano roof turn orange?

I have magic sky control in my benz and it never turns orange in the rain.

freakshow 08-29-2018 08:23 AM
can't wait to pick one of these up in a few years at half the price.. 70k too ballin for me

asian_XL 08-29-2018 10:53 AM
This is the Long Range RWD model. Not really worth the USD49k for its build quality, but it is almost tax free in Hong Kong, for HKD385,000 after tax, you can only buy a BMW 320iA.

having driven it for the last 3 days I can attest that it is a very solid car with no creaks or squeaks in it. So far it's build quality is pretty damn good.

It's the coatings on the glass that prevents/blocks UV light and heat from entering the cabin.

Why do they even ship it with the aero wheel covers? It look hideous! Does it really reduce drag and improve fuel mileage or something.

how do you like the stock speakers? to me it is only average quality. SwiftRage


The sales admitted the panel gap problem on the demo car, they said it is fixable in most case, but need them half a days to adjust.

68style 08-29-2018 11:16 PM
I am curious how does the dealer fix panel gap issues post-delivery........

I am curious too, I guess Tesla HK has its own way to fix their own car. He pointed out that the hood and rear quarter panel were fixed before the demo. I personally do not see any gap issues yesterday, but the door and trunk hinges weren't that friendly.

lol, yeah, very average. The stock speakers are amazing. It also has good bass that isn't overwhelming but can definitely pound.

My buddy got his VIN for his dual motor performance version a few days ago should be receiving his car pretty soon!

asian_XL 08-30-2018 11:31 PM
is performance version a motor upgrade or software unlock?

the sales recommended all software update / accessory upgrade to be done 6 months after buying the car, as it will not be taxed 100% in Hong Kong.

I want air suspension, when will Tesla put it on model 3?

my understanding is that the performance version gets the same motors as the AWD but they are the best performing motors that they've tested.

edit nvm.

From what I understand, the RWD gets 270hp, Performance gets 450hp. I was guessing AWD version is somewhere in between? like 360hp?
