if you look at ix3, and etron omv , they are actually cheaper then model 3 performance .
Bread and butter cars is what people buy the most and put on the road. Omv does not equal selling price. If u look at the selling price of ix3 and etron, u know the T badge does not have the status.
design is 3 years old liao. It's old
tesla is direct selling, that why the price is attractive as there is no ad that milk u over and over.
actually i wonder only lah
I am not sure if ix3 is a better car, but tesla is definitely 1 of the least reliable car.
there no servicing needed, only need the wiper and aircon filter that u can do anywhere.
u didnt even compare the selling price from the chart i had given you, and just looking at ad asking price that is not accurate as there are tons of discounts, and model 3 the lowest road tax is at 3200 a year, and performance is at $5000 a year, u name me a car that road tax is at 5000 a year for a new car, even a v8 turbo charge 4 litre is at 4k tax a year, or how about telling me how much is your tax? 600 a year?
The reason for EV high road tax is to cover for the petrol tax as explained by LTA.
for the first year ev got no petrol levy add on the road tax, the reason is it 5000 road tax is because of it 500 horsepower, and 3.2 second century sprint, they are using power ratio for the road tax, bmw ix3 horse power is at 282 hp, and road tax is at $2000 a year, due to the much lower horsepower comparing to tesla.
Isn't that the precise reason why people buy tesla. Cause they cannot afford a 500 hp NA car?
yes and no, some is because petrol 500 hp car cant compete with ev car, some is because for 240k, u get the fastest car in sg road why not, and please dont use those coe cars to compare
U just said it. In SG or around the world, those who buy a status car does not buy it with the reason u stated, especially if the reason is 240k for a fastest car (cheap)
yeah u never know when the goverment will start to slap ice car with more taxes, my guess is because most driver cant afford to change to ev, that why the goverment is holding back, but dont know till when. but one thing for sure is that ice car taxes sure will go up in the near future
one of the model 3 p owner sold his m5 for it due to performance, but wife still keeping 740, cars is just toy for the rich, and most own more then 2 cars. using car as status is also very low level, as tons of coe car on the road. most just but it for the fun factor, that why u see so many video on crazy model 3 performance ppl accelerating in singapore road , zipping here and there, as if those car are non existant
Agree
