After struggle for few weeks, following solutions should work. A simple setting change:

that only works if you are not using Power BI Service, unfortunately you can't set a local time with Power BI Service is one of the limitations of this product. A workaround is to use a fuction such as NOW()+TIME(8,0,0) but still you won't be able to accurately use the date slicers.
