kobayashiGT Internal Moderator July 22, 2020 Share July 22, 2020 Tesla clever. Diversify the manpower now. If anything happen to USA, still got China and Singapore (if that really happens) Actually, I think hong kong also strategic leh. Over there you can see alot of tesla. So there is a market already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Shanghai is owned by Tesla HK. Tesla was selling well in HK until tax exemption was removed. Tesla HK is just an AD. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Power charging station is 5 mins away from my home. I stay in HDB. Wherever Tesla set up its dealership, confirm will have SuperCharger.

I will take model Y as an example. The estimated range is about 500km. Given Singapore hot and humid weather that will deplete the battery faster, I give them a benefit of doubt at 400km per charge, I think you only need to charge once a week if you are working at tampines and lives at jurong. . . The infrastructure definitely is foolproof yet, but I think there will be some earlier adopter. For those who are living in the HDB like me, there is Blue SG charging point where you can "lease" their charging point in hourly basis, just book the charging point nearest to your home, park and charge go home have dinner, play with kids, exercise, watch TV and before you sleep, you head down and move the car to a normal parking lot. If not a lot of shopping mall will have fast charging station nowadays, during weekends just change your grocery buying to those shopping malls which have fast charge, go buy grocery, eat a good lunch then go back with a 70% charged car that can last you at least 300km. I think that can go for a week also. I am putting a scenario where the guy only needs the car from point a to point b, maybe for salesperson kind of job, the consideration will have more factor. But I think it is doable now. an electric car is not only for the rich. But those who are willing to get a taste of what future is like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
