JAKARTA – US electric car maker Tesla Inc. has started offering discounts to electric vehicle buyers in Singapore who agree to buy a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y car in the country. This was revealed by a Tesla sales representative on Monday, January 9.

Tesla is offering a $5.000 discount for electric vehicle buyers who trade in their existing internal combustion vehicles and another $5.000 credit towards the cost of a certificate to operate the car in Singapore.

Additionally, for eligible buyers who have a charger installed at home, Tesla will provide a wall plug for charging, although the customer will have to pay a fee for the installation.

The limited-term discount in Singapore comes just days after Tesla slashed prices in China, South Korea, Japan, and Australia.

Unfortunately, until now the discount has not reached Indonesia. Tesla himself has not officially opened a representative in the country. Even though Tesla CEO Elon Musk has stated several times that he wants to invest in an electric car factory in Indonesia, until now this has never materialized.

The latest news is that Tesla actually wants to build a factory in India. But until now there are still difficulties due to obstacles to local content regulations that must be present in cars made in Indian factories.
