But what do you want to do with so much accelerating power in SG, one may ask?

Being a tiny island, last time Dr M said if drive ferrari also can only go up to 2nd gear then you reach the other end of the island already

And so many traffic lights and dedicated right turn arrow signals, in any case.

In a car forum? No diff?  I thought i am in hardware zone.  😂😂

The stupidity of the COE system.

You penalize everyone for social equality. There has to be a better way to do this.  

It is like forcing TV manufacturers to tune their products to show only black and white programs.  Totally f up for EV.

Cars are bad, don't you know? If you die die want to buy, can only give you lau ya one.

EV is in the hypertrend for sure and further fueled by all the sales and marketing stuff and gimmicks and wayang... 

However, practically at this moment until your next half COE period. A Hybrid is the best! 🤗

This will give them reason for a single category of coe. All along they think of reducing their workload. Used to be 4 categories for cars. 
Maybe coe should be by length and width of vehicle. I might happily benefit as I like driving a hatchback! 🤣

Test drove already. Seal better overall. Tesla more atas branding.

I haven’t test drive Seal yet.

I like Model 3 suspension.
I drove through those large hump in East Coast Service Road and don’t feel the bump at all.

In terms of taking corner especially S-curve in front of big splash, I can’t feel the weight transfer during heavy braking.

Highland has improved a lot as compared to its predecessor

Seal to me is more spacious, comfortable and looks better internally and externally.

Model 3 to me handles better, more responsive, has the rear tv and more atas branding.

So to really choose one is quite challenging esp when pricing for both is abt the same.

Ps : I am comparing Seal premium vs model 3 cat B rwd SR

Model 3 is cheaper than Seal now.

BYD non-guaranteed COE pricing is unrealistic.

Add 19 inch rims + choose colour for Model 3 works out almost the same as BYD guaranteed. Again these are based on the Cat B versions.

I don't like the Tesla big screen. Very distracting.

Will hopefully test drive Seal soon.

Both cars same screen size

[Terence2112]

In terms of visuals, Tesla beats Seal hands down. 

The information on the Seal screen (e.g safety systems etc) are confusing and need some getting used to.
