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.

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.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
