The electric vehicle company has just released its second quarter results and according to the report, it shows that its losses were almost 60 percent more than the previous year, amounting to nearly S$400 million.

It is said that by the end of 2016, Tesla aims to sell 80,000 cars, much more than the 50,500 delivered to the customers in 2015.

 

Despite missing the sales target, the company's revenue has risen to S$1.71 billion, thanks to the sales of the Model X SUV which costs around 15 percent more than the Model S.

While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
