@Kennethoka I got $800 of shell select credits, and $3k worth of ocbc card charging credits. But didn't hear about any model car.

the model car that was supposedly worth $800 is now represented by the $800 in Shell Select credits.

I was one of the last few to get in on the NDP promo cos someone's loan got rejected on COE bidding day. 
Also secured the Cat A COE at $99,499. Eye watering for sure.

Nice. you are really lucky. can have so many perks

[Blowndiffuser]

@welfert haha I'm glad to have gotten the Shell credits then. Not sure what I'd do with an $800 model car 😅.

 

Any indication on when you will take delivery of the car? The wait is interminable.

[Kennethoka]

I wonder how long can the credit be least. Because nowadays the charg cost also increased

[welfert]

@Blowndiffuser SE said 2 months from COE bid so that puts me in early Oct. I booked on NDP. You? 

[Blowndiffuser]

I booked on ND too, but the SE said early Nov. I hope your SE is right 🙏🏼

[Kennethoka]

@Blowndiffuser @welfert I think you can check the car status in HMGIC website. You can see whether your car has started building or still in planning stage

[welfert]

@Kennethoka I’ve heard conflicting stories about its accuracy. Some say they get better updates directly from their salesperson, some say the website is more up to date than their sales person 

[welfert]

@Blowndiffuser the ones who got their COE in July are just getting their cars so I’m optimistic about their 2 month timeline
 

btw what color did you get?

Oh I got the grey. Chose black seats as have young kids, but aesthetically would prefer the off-white seats.

[Blowndiffuser]

Still at this phase. Oh well.

[welfert]

@Blowndiffuser exactly the same situation as me then. Looks like we should have similar delivery schedules 😅

[welfert]

@Blowndiffuser don’t keep checking. I tell myself to give it till my birthday which is in 4 weeks time

Did a road trip to KL and back with my Cat A reduced-range (58kWh) HI5. My normal putting-around-SG is around 6.8-7.0 km/kWh. My KL road trip was something like 4.6 km/kWh overall (with the faster sections going as low as ~4.0 km/kWh). So unless you want to drive at like 80 km/h the whole way, you need to depart SG at 90+% SOC, and need to do at least one stop along the way to KL.

So during the trip, what is the average speed when you cruise on the highway? how many passengers? and what is the degree you set for your aircon? It will be very useful data for me.

@shuigao thanks for the report. Am thinking of taking a trip to Genting next yr. May need to plan for 2 stops I suppose. Any difficulty in finding and using the chargers in Malaysia?

[shuigao]

@Blowndiffuser There are chargers up to KL every like 30-50km, but the issue is that not all chargers are equal (some have only 1 50kW gun, others are like up to 200kW and have 6 bays, that kind of imbalance). Common consensus seems to be Petronas/Gentari Bandar Baru Ayer Hitam, and then next stop at Bangi Golf Club.
