Spending NO HEED
None of these innovations bother Tesla user Alvin Khoo, who got his car in April last season.  ,
” Elections are mega elements which only have a temporary impact on the brand”, said the 40-year-old, who runs two lived group companies.  ,
” What matters are the intrinsic factors of the company- ( that ) it’s a good car with one of the best technologies, and it’s a very comfortable ride”, added the Tesla Model Y Long Range owner.
” That’s all that matters when I decide to buy the car” . ,
Agreeing, officer Malcolm Loh said there was no relationship between owning a Tesla and whatever landscapes one might have of its CEO.  ,
” My choice of getting a Tesla had nothing to do with Elon at all, just like my choice of buying Apple iPhones over the years has nothing to do with Tim Cook ( Apple’s CEO )”, said the 58-year-old, who has owned a Tesla Model Y since 2022.  ,
” For me, a product’s value for money is the most important consideration” . ,
While Tesla owners overseas appear to have been discriminated against,” thankfully no such actions have taken place here in Singapore”, he added.
Mr Loh said the company’s latest tumult could even be a blessing in disguise.  ,
” The lesser demand for Teslas may result in the company reducing prices, so hopefully when the time comes to replace my Tesla with another one, it will be much more affordable” . ,
Another user in his 40s, who merely wanted to be known as Jason, said he didn’t worry about Tesla’s picture as a current owner. But he would have his worries when the time comes to buy his vehicle.
He’s planning to move to a Chinese EV manufacturer after facing some complex issues with his Tesla.  ,
” View of the brand worries me only because of selling worth implications”, he said.  ,
But Jason remained typically positive.  ,
” I don’t believe Singaporeans are also affected by what goes on in the US… The Singapore car market is robust ( and ) I don’t foresee its resale value going lower than normal depreciation”, he said.  ,
