The factory is simply to demonstrate SG's capability in high-value production. Govt will never offer any major tax incentives to buy car here, locally-made or not. But they did offer very generous tax incentives to have Hyundai come here. Isn’t it raiding our reserves for the future generation. If very few pink ic benefit. Then what is the point? More for someone’s resume to look good to get a promotion and ownself say job well done? Koreans aren’t dumb, for them to come and setup shop, the handout must be very substantial.

Koreans aren’t dumb, for them to come and setup shop, the handout must be very substantial. Tax incentive for the company. Not for end consumer. SG benefits from the foreign capital inflow, both from Hyundai in setting up operation here, as well as from the export sales. Whether that benefit trickle down to the man on the street, will have to wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then , since SGP is so new to automibile manufacturing technology, we have to be prepared to accept some initial shorfalls along the way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xers007 Supercharged January 16, 2023 Share January 16, 2023 nowadays human is out of the equation, robot did the most... "When in full swing, the highly automated assembly will be manned by no more than 30 people." So as long govt give them incentives to setup factory here, they will come. quote "https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/hyundai-to-roll-out-first-s-pore-assembled-cars-in-first-half-of-2023" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0y0ta Supercharged January 16, 2023 Share January 16, 2023 I actually don't mind paying little bit more to get a MIK car. It's like people paying more for MIJ appliances compared to lesser models MIC So I hear that - pricing seems similar to original MIK pricing - got F&F issues looks like no need for Singkies to think about this.

Jamesc Hypersonic February 21, 2023 Share February 21, 2023 I think its great we have car factory here. 20% of our GDP should be manufacturing. And which overseas company come here don't want incentives? If we don't offer our SEA neighbours happily take their business. EVs are high tech, high value add and in tezzla's case high priced products. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
