haha...this is indeed old for this part of the earth....i'm late...very late. Nevertheless, better late than never.
If you want to dig back 5 years ago to the original trigger point:
Tesla pulls the plug on Singapore
Tides (Transport Technology Innovation and Development Scheme) "is open only to companies and organisations that want to test-bed their electric vehicles. Private car owners are currently not eligible...
"The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is part of the scheme and BT understands it is now on sale for $88,000. Without the scheme, it would have cost about $200,000."
In the past, Singapore punished Tesla by excluding it from any government incentives. Thus, Tesla pulled out of Singapore after only 6 months setting up business there.
Then, recently, Joe brought back a used Tesla and expected the government to forget the past and stop punishing the brand Tesla.
Since then, Singapore and Tesla relations has improved as all new Teslas will skip emissions tests and thus, eligible for government rebates!
Congratulations!
Is there an official quote for this?
It seems Joe will be getting his payment returned and possibly getting a small rebate too:
TESLA UPDATES: Model 3 to get US$22,000 rebate in Singapore
Thanks very much for that additional information.
I wonder if the Singapore position on manufacturer certification for new vehicles will change as a result of recent European revelations post-VW affair? Have you any insight?
...Also it seems their position would be far more amenable to ride-sharing solutions than to single-family-cars. I wonder how they are approaching that question?...
...The self-driving test going on right now must also be relevant to this issue. Have you any insight on that one?
There's a new conversion factor 0.4g CO2/Wh instead of 0.5g CO2/Wh (in Joe's case):
LTA fixes emission factor for electric and plug-in hybrid cars
I doubt that is enough to get Joe's rebate.
My guess is still: If a Tesla car wants to avoid being labeled as gross polluter, it has to avoid LTA testing.
the day gas is out and singapore needs to look for another solution.
Hoe big a market is Singapore? Same as Hongkong?
