calbin7077 1st Gear September 15, 2021 Share September 15, 2021 (edited) With all the rave over electric cars in Singapore recently... According to Rave Reviews, Tesla is apparently Singapore's most hated brand.https://www.sgcarmart.com/news/article.php?AID=25607&fbclid=IwAR12tO1yIbeN82ozi62UuskdsiFJ9xyYkiJgLEon6QocQaHXcFaffLKF0m4 What is your take for it? Would you choose Tesla if an electric car is going to be your next car? Also, if no, why?

Watwheels Supersonic September 15, 2021 Share September 15, 2021 (edited) Why hate the brand? So weird. If they offer me a good deal for the electric car I wont care. Perhaps what ppl dont like is the hype that comes with the brand. If you tell me there are a lot of hating scratchers waiting to scratch Tesla cars maybe I will think twice.

1fast1 Supersonic September 15, 2021 Share September 15, 2021 Why hated? My neighbour (previously had a F 599, sold off some time back) just got a Tesla Model 3 Performance. Looks swee and the total absence of sound is a total mindf**k. I'm sorely tempted. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged September 15, 2021 Share September 15, 2021 I know who Tesla is but I never heard of Rave Reviews and obviously I don’t care about what they say - they may claim methodology based on social media this and that but the approach is subject to bias and social media dislikes is like a fart, unpleasant but hardly causes any harm.

Kar_lover Supercharged September 16, 2021 Share September 16, 2021 6 minutes ago, Soya said: That's like expecting the Attrage to look better than a 530i Cost/price is usually more for performance or features related things rather than design. The lowest and highest model Taycan looks the same but the price is more than double. There is no direct relationship between design and price. Expensive cars can look ugly too by the way. And by the way $230k is far from cheap. Anyway if you guys think Tesla cars look nice then i guess i am the odd one out 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be Model S vs Audi e-tron GT. Tesla has always been a tech company. its design will never fit into any traditional car design. For Taycan, without Mission E wheel and SportDesign front bumper/sideskirt, it is ugly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that's the point i am trying to make. Tesla's design language is more of a "techy" look whereas i prefer a sporty look. While the Model S is slightly better, i would hardly call it a head turner. Perhaps a fairer comparison would be Lucid Air and some of the xpeng models which to me all look better than Tesla without being "sport oriented". The Tesla's lights i find especially old-fashioned. As for Taycan i only like the rear, the front looks like it's crying lol. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
