blogentry-133713-0-64897400-1511021500_thumb.jpgOther than the very impressive acceleration numbers, the car can also hit over 400km/h and do the quarter mile sprint in a scant 8.9 seconds. Thanks to 200-kWh battery pack, the four-seater car packs over 10,000Nm of torque and will have a range of nearly 1000km.

 

Prices for the car starts from $200k (S$270k) and for those that want to be part of the first thousand to collect their car in 2020, they will have to fork out $250k (S$339k) for the Founder’s Edition Roadsters.

 

blogentry-133713-0-73262800-1511021506_thumb.jpgIn an eyebrow-raising move, those that want the Founder’s Edition Roadsters will have to pay the full price upfront, prompting naysayers that this might be a good move to get a free, zero-interest loan to a company that burns cash at an alarming rate.

 

With the company currently struggling to kickstart mass production of the Model 3, the new cash flow coming from the deposits of their two new models could be used towards solving some of their production issues.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Forget the Future - Embrace the Past

    Ah, the future. That shiny, chrome-plated paradise we're all supposed to be chasing. Well, I say bollocks to that. Let's take a cheeky detour down memory lane instead, shall we? Imagine you're lounging in a velvet smoking jacket, sipping brandy from a crystal snifter, surrounded by dusty tomes and antique globes. Sounds rather spiffing, no? That's because old is gold, methinks. While everyone else is frantically scrolling through their social media feeds, we'll be gleefully embracing t

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o
