After watching both Parts 1& 2, nothing was said about the battery consumption in Singapore or the charging facilities (Tesla super-charger) for Tesla. Is there a Part 3 for this?

Hi there, did you feel that the sunroof was a problem in the searing sg heat? Very concerned about how the glass performs in our very very direct and hot sun.

I would buy this car after my mini cooper coe expired. Seems like a good car to drive in Singapore. How about driving this car to Malaysia? Charging wise etc.

I saw a tesla at Hougang, is it just me or does it kinda look like a sports car?

Hi, can you please answer following questions for me?

1. What do you do for navigation as Maps Data isn’t available in unsupported countries ? Is there any alternative that works via browser or something?
2. Does autopilot work in any capacity? I know full FSD won’t work but can I expect things like assisted driving, lane changing etc to work?
3. I know LTE connectivity won’t work but can I use all connectivity features by connecting the car to portable WiFi hotspot while driving?
4. Will iOS or android app work to control various features of the car?
5. Does regular summon feature work, where you can move the car forward or back using app?
6. Does smart summon feature work? Where you can call the car to you in a parking lot?
7. Will software updates come to car normally via wifi?
8. Any other feature limitation that I might come across in unofficial country?

Thanks for your answers!

fact: the model 4 was meant to be named the model e but ford already had a car named model e so elon musk changed to 3

[vetiverose]

Just curious. Can someone who doesn't know how to drive at all, drive this Tesla safely on the automatic mode?

[johnlim]

Are the SG supplied cars made in the US or China?

[shimmyshimmy]

Man, looks like I have sell a kidney to get this here!

[ianchua]

Nice review, just wondering does Model 3 comes with the "Summon" mode? Does it work in Singapore?

[daveng]

Does it require data connection for the touchscreens to work?

What if the touch screen freeze like how our phone freeze sometimes

[rougestan]

Being fully controlled by the ‘touch pad’ just seems like you’re at the mercy of it. 3/5 years into owning the car just pray it doesn’t lag or crash on you.

[TheGamingAlong]

Please make autopilot video driving on the highway. We would watch to the end.

What part of Singapore were u driving in

[rawsos]

When u opened the car i was like oh wowww thats so filthy

[SingaporeAquaticClips]

Not realistic to keep in hdb. Where to charge? Lol

[reddragonk]

Now, we can buy these cars from Tesla themselves!

[robw]

"GOOD" BUY BCUZ:
1. No supported gps maps
2. No charging point suitable for Tesla
3. Size of mazda 3 but price of Mazda 6 (expected to be $145K without COE)
4. No authorized dealer /workshop yet

Jesus Christ, the car floor is so dirty

[comments]

Probably stupid is a more suitable word than sleek. Everything via touchpad. How do do expect to move the aircon vents while driving? $200k+ for non practical car?! My God.
