Glad to see your subscription is increasing. May you 10x in 10 months time

[@fomoyolope3573]

Thank you for making the video. I am so glad that SG is buying so many TESLA cars. Also, I enjoyed watching another video of yours on investing in TESLA stock.

[@dr-k1667]

Darren, your prepared for rain or shine to cover Tesla in Singapore, lol. Great coverage and explanation of the delivery waves, since a drop off in numbers often created fud and misunderstanding. I look forward to Tesla quickly climbing up the ranks in Singapore registered vehicles until they are number one and two with the models 3 and Y.

[@DarenYoong]

😂 Learnt the hard lesson of trying to film directly under rain (audio is very bad). The rain is a small blessing for this video because it would be very hard to find an empty Supercharger station in Singapore otherwise. Did meet 2 other Tesla owners while filming there. Am confident that Tesla will be the Top 3 selling car brand in Singapore with Model Y (especially in the last month of each quarter, until Giga Berlin ramps up production). Tesla is already delivering up to 314 Model 3s in Sep, and we know that the Model Y is now more popular than Model 3 in many countries.

Great to see the super chargers going up. Can’t wait for Tesla superchargers to be open to EVs from other brands as well!

The classic SG bird making a ruckus at the bg. HAHA

Thank you for making these videos. Fellow singaporean here!

[@jstoltz6803]

Very nice. Yes Tesla remains production constrained. I was hoping to hear that they added another IDRA press in Shanghai over the holiday at the beginning of October. That would have caused another ramp up to another new high for Model Y’s with two mega castings. But no word so I guess we will have to wait for Berlin and Texas output numbers in January/February. Either way that should free up more deliveries to Singapore so those new supercharger stations will be helpful. Thank you for covering this. Always nice to see your smiling face.

[@DarenYoong]

Thanks Jim! Agree that Giga Texas/Berlin looks closer to Jan production start date at this rate.

[@jstoltz6803]

@@DarenYoong yes, Elon had said not to look for any output from Germany or Texas before Q1 2022.

[@ooitienmau6221]

Good sharing

[@luwileo]

I don’t own a Tesla but watching your videos made me feel like one 😄

[@DarenYoong]

Hey Louis. I don’t own one currently too so we’re on the same boat haha!

[@DarenYoong]

@@lmk928 that too much car for my family’ use in Singapore haha. Plaid X/S would likely cost >SG$300k in Singapore, and take longer to arrive (maybe 2nd half 2022).

[@Zendefone]

Delivery numbers in SG is purely a factor of how many cars Giga Shanghai gets allocated to SG. It is not even close to reaching the current pent-up demand.

[@tangpengyee7164]

What time did you post this video? I would like to know the time in SGT. Thanks

[@ShirtPapa]

We need a few at the West soon!

[@DarenYoong]

I believe they will come!

[@darren6436]

Oh we got almost tje same name im also on singapore

[@DarenYoong]

Nice!

Good job we are expecting more EV charger to be install island wide. Please support Electric vehicle and keep our environment clean carbon emissions free.

Magnificas noticias para tu pais, felicidades, saludos desde España

[@monthysantos3608]

whered u get that umbrella though? where can we buy?

[@DarenYoong]

Hey Monthy. You can get it at the Tesla Shop: shop.tesla.com/product/umbrella?sku=1616115-00-A

[@jianchao88]

Awesome Video

[@jackwai8930]

I love your model U. Where did you get it from?

[@DarenYoong]

Hey Jack. You can get it from the Tesla Singapore Shop: shop.tesla.com/en_sg/product/umbrella?sku=1616115-00-A

[@jeffloh5578]

when the tesla model y will be available in sg ?

[@DarenYoong]

Hey Jeff. Model Y orders in Singapore should be open latest by Q1 2022. A big dependency is Giga Berlin going live without further delays, so that Giga Shanghai can prioritise exports to Asia Pacific markets.

[@winniechua7309]

And also tesla has the model U what are differences with cybertruck vs model U

[@DarenYoong]

Model U allowed Singapore. Cybertruck not approved haha

[@curiomusic4962]

Do u own a tesla car? Nice video bro!

[@DarenYoong]

Not yet, Christopher! Planning to get a Performance Model Y next year.

[@hanandrew7099]

Bro what Tesla model are you driving

[@DarenYoong]

Hey Andrew. Don’t have a Tesla yet. Planning to get a Performance Model Y next year!

[@k6173]

Is it just me or does tesla like putting chargers along the coast.

[@DarenYoong]

Perhaps higher density of Tesla driving there for now. Tesla has a lot of useful driver data (at aggregate level) from their sensors. We’ll likely see Superchargers in the West.

[@jonzhuang]

I see that you bought at $60 Tesla umbrella?

[@DarenYoong]

Yes! ⛱

[@peteryeungcp]

Those landed owners will complaint about EMF at their backyards.

[@xxAndreadxx]

Does the Model U come with 4680 cells? 😀

[@DarenYoong]

😂 stem looks thick enough for AAA batteries only

[@lovestory818]

Singapore has flash flood right

[@stanleytanlt1]

If it wasn't Tesla buyers in Oct, who bidded up COE prices in Singapore to over SGD 80K? Wouldn't COE prices go even more crazy if Tesla comes back into the market to bid COE for buyers?

[@batchint]

I was out for the first time in months.. bluewater shopping centre which has parking for several hundred... tesla is now marketing for customers not in the centre..

[@ysx7]

The only thing holding me back is the price of Tesla in SG. Is about 200k to buy one.

[@DarenYoong]

If you’re open to it, there will likely be more affordable options in the resale market in the next 1-2 years. I know a number of Model 3 owners who are planning to switch to Model Y once it’s available in Singapore.

[@jonzhuang]

Imagine your bedroom is behind and each morning you wake up and to see Tesla. If you lucky, can get to see a Tesla car as well

[@DarenYoong]

Haha true! Best of all, no emissions and engine sound.

[@alanccvoo]

This thing cost 200k per model 3....I stick w BMW..to travel...Bus MRT Walk

[@DarenYoong]

Fair! Public transportation in Singapore is good, and getting better with the MRT network expansion. Buses are also transitioning to EVs.

Tesla ready to shoot to the moon after last week selloff

Model U😂

[@hojaeyun6747]

Lmao Tesla is shit you should wait to buy lucid when it comes out

[@cowswearbras]

do tesla owners still need to pay the carpark fee for each time they charge? or is there some sort of waiver?

[@DarenYoong]

Hey Ben. It depends on location. Here’s a list of parking fees: Katong V: $1/hour Millenia Walk: $2.20/hour Orchard Central: Free
