I read recently that something around 300 Teslas were registered in Singapore last month alone, they’ve become the most popular EV in Singapore in terms of sales. I’d expect this kind of popularity to see an accompanying increase in charging ports to keep up with demand.
Agreed. If I didn’t already have a car I would have definitely gone for the Tesla. They’re not just sleek and sexy, but great for the environment as well, and much cheaper to maintain in the long run.
There is a major gahmen push for charging stations (it's a space I work in now). I expect in a few years this govt to announce a ban on new ICE cars being sold.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Tue, 25 Jan 2022 3:33 amI read recently that something around 300 Teslas were registered in Singapore last month alone, they’ve become the most popular EV in Singapore in terms of sales.

I see, with government support there will definitely be a notable increase in charging stations. All things are possible with the PAP…PNGMK wrote: ↑Tue, 25 Jan 2022 8:39 amThere is a major gahmen push for charging stations (it's a space I work in now).

Certainly looking forward to having more charging stations around Singapore. Also hopefully prices of the cars can come down as well...finding it little on the pricey side.PNGMK wrote: ↑Tue, 25 Jan 2022 8:39 amThere is a major gahmen push for charging stations (it's a space I work in now).

Frankly I think the pricing is just “Singapore pricing”. They are already pretty reasonably priced compared to other EVs, and only a little more expensive than regular gas cars.abbby wrote: ↑Wed, 26 Jan 2022 9:49 amCertainly looking forward to having more charging stations around Singapore.

Are they as “techy” though? I feel like most of the appeal of Teslas is how futuristic they are, the huge touch screen and the features that come with it really sets it apart from other cars.
Really? I guess I’m not like most women in this sense. The entire appeal of the Teslas for me is all the Easter eggs hidden in the touch screen system.
No, I assure you, that you are not normal for a woman.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Fri, 28 Jan 2022 1:51 amReally? I guess I’m not like most women in this sense. The entire appeal of the Teslas for me is all the Easter eggs hidden in the touch screen system.
Hahaha, I saw my first Tesla in the US at a showroom a couple years back. My first thoughts were, it comes with a free iPad in the front!PNGMK wrote: ↑Fri, 28 Jan 2022 9:18 amNo, I assure you, that you are not normal for a woman.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Fri, 28 Jan 2022 1:51 amReally?

My wife took one look at that screen and said "NO".
