The cheapest Tesla Model 3 costs 160k SGD here, which is about 120k USD. And it gets more expensive from there.
Not to mention the fact that your COE expires after 10 years after which you have to pay another 50k to be allowed to drive it for another 10 years.
- rconti 6y agoOk? I'm saying the VW is too expensive for what it is, in the market it competes in, in the US and I believe in Europe as well. If you show me how the VW is a great bargain in your country vs the Tesla, that's an interesting argument. Complaining that cars are cheap in countries other than your own doesn't really relate to the VW's relative place in the market.
- lokedhs 6y agoYou are right. My thinking behind the post was to suggest that the "it's expensive" argument doesn't really matter, since all cars are so cheap in the US. This is of course not a great line of reasoning, since people look at the cost of a car in relative terms. I should have thought it through before posting.
