I'm now into the fourth year of ownership. The Tesla is still my favourite transport-fast, quiet, dependable handling and best in-car audio I have experienced. It's also very economical to run, except for the road tax.
However, last week the inevitable happened. I got into an accident. Yes, all the horror tales about how much it costs to repair an electric car are true. There are only two authorised workshops in Singapore. I sent my car to one of them and got an astronomical estimate. The breakdown included all right front suspension components, the headlight assembly, sensors, 2 rims and one tyre. My regular mechanic who specialises in Porsche, Mercedes and BMW told me he couldn't fix a Tesla, but he pointed me to the best guy outside of the authorised Tesla shops - Edwin Garage. As the electric drive train was not damaged, Edwin fixed the car like any car. The computer in fact thought that the Tesla was in perfect working order. All headlights, sensors, wheels and tyres were checked to be intact. The only suspension component he needed to change was a bent tie rod.
Thanks Edwin. I would like to share the great experience with all other Tesla owners and perspective owners.

Whole new driving experience. Takes a year to get use to all the functions and driving style. This isn't just a car from point to point, it's a theatre, a sport car, a family car, a place to take power naps without dying from CO2 poisoning, my work is hectic. Always feared dying in my estima when taking short naps. Charging not an issue at all. So many chargers around now compared to 2021. JB can charge now. The software is more powerful than anyone can imagine. There is a lot more and resale demand is high. Best $ value per bhp. Its a drivers car. Connectivity with Andriod and Apple, Netflix, Maps, Spotify, Disney. Felt like iphone 1 in 2010. This is just the beginning of a long term ownership. No longer worry about GPS in countries that lease Tesla for self drive holidays.

Why the Tesla Model 3 is my favourite car! `
|
|

The 2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD, Tesla's entry level car, costs $224,655 (inclusive of Cat B COE), which is the price range of the Mercedes C and E class, BMW 3 series and Audi A4, all made by well established German car companies. After owning the Tesla Model 3 for almost a year and also a Merc E200, here's why I prefer the Model 3. To start, the exterior looks sporty while looking classy. The always on lamps on the headlights makes the car look like it has eyes. The front of the car also looks quite fierce, maybe that's why more people give way to me when driving the Model 3 compared to my E200. The design of the door handles are also unique, if you show it to any tech savvy person, they'll be able to identify that it came from a Tesla. Going inside the car, the first thing that you'll notice is the massive 15" Display on the dash, which is where most functions of the car is controlled from. Right below it is 2 wireless changing pads for you and your passenger's phones. The steering wheel and seats in the car are also heated and lined with stain resistant vegan leather, however to get the seats in the iconic white colour, it'll cost extra. Front passenger and rear passenger leg room is okay but not great. The rear seats are quite low, so when taller passengers are seated, their legs are bent upwards, a bit like in a squatting position. When on the road, the road noise is slightly louder than in my E200 but still much quieter than in my old Honda Vezel, as its electric and the front windows are actually double glazed, blocking out noise better. The handling of the car is also great, thanks to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres that came with the car and the car's low CG as the heavy battery pack is mounted beneath the car's flooring. The acceleration is also great, doing 0-100km/h in 6.1s, however the acceleration gets slightly slower as the battery % Gets lower, something German EVs like the Mercedes EQS or Porsche Taycan don't suffer from, according to other motoring journalists. The claimed range is 491km, however I get about 440km on a full charge. When cruising on the roads, you can also turn on autopilot, which comes with all Teslas, making the drive more relaxing. FSD is also purchasable for $11500 in the Tesla app.
