Great interview for perspective Singapore customers who are trying to decide between model 3 and Y. It's amazing how much each benefits each bring to their owners and that it increases over time. Great job Daren and congrats Eugene on your new Tesla model Y!
The reason to buy a Tesla is safety, battery technology, advanced engineering (thermal management, octovalve,etc.), OTA updates, supercharger network - not storage. Watch the Sandy Munro videos -- 99% of his employees have Teslas.
I agree, when I was deciding on which variant, it will be best with a LR in SG. Currently I’m having a dilemma. SR range is too little. Perf range is better, but acceleration in SG isn’t really necessary but fun to have.. until we reach the next traffic light which we have so much of it. Plus the road tax and insurance is higher on Perf. Why can’t we have the LR sooner! Thanks Daren & Eu Gene for the content!
There are better options out there besides a Tesla. I used to own a Model Y Dual Motor, ended up trading it in for. RAV4 prime. Model Y is not a luxury feeling car especially for the price, stiff ride noisy as hell cabin and lots of rattles felt like a tin can.
Good on you both on showcasing Model Y which has many interesting pluses. It is amazing that Tesla delivers driving and features control experience via the large central console/ screen versus the conventional ways. Changes for the better. After months of following Tesla’s EV, it gets more oomph for me in relation to matters on reduction in greenhouse emission and noise pollution. Regenerative braking is great for safety besides cost savings on brake pads etc. Ability to control distance of the vehicle ahead is a good feature for safety. Camp mode is cool for staying inside Model Y and no CO2 to the atmosphere - wow! Very nice for holidays if I want to sleep inside Model Y. There were cases of children left alone in cars during hot and humid weather resulting in horrendous situation. This unfortunate event can be avoided in Model Y. There is Dog mode too 😃 Cheers
the new tesla model redesigned powertrain pack with battery make it difficult for repair which means higher cost if minor damage to the powertrain and may risk of battery damage
According to Sandy Munro, if a structural part of the car (battery pack or Gigacasting) is damaged, the car has been in such a significant crash that it wouldn’t have been salvaged either way. There are crash absorption parts on Gigacastings that are replaceable.
You dont get too much roll compared to X3 because the CG is low as the battery is positioned at the base. Its not because they have improved it. Its just pure physics.
A Quarter Million Singapore Dollars is pretty hard to get a Tesla Model Y especially the Middle Class earners earning SGD$35,000 to SGD$50,000 annually.
Yeah that is crazy. 250k Singapore converts to 291000 new Zealand dollars where I live. I just bought exactly the same rwd Y here for 71k after rebate. What the actual 😳
The Price of the Model Y in Singapore includes the rebates. Deduct SGD$45,000. SGD $25,000 Vehicle Emission Scheme (VES) Early Adopter Rebate, 45% of additional registration fee (ARF) cap at SGD $20,000 Without these 2 schemes, the Price of a Model Y RWD will be more than a Quarter Million SGD Dollars.
Please remind folks, as the Model Y driver guest commented. Improvements yes. In fact 25 Improvements often every week as Joe Justice says after hired as a factory "agile" specialist and various amazing accomplishments of his own vehicle building and developing. Joe Justice also acknowledged 27 instant assembly line changes a week is not uncommon. Legacy automakers usually wait a year before Improvements. Shanghai gigafactory quality, yes. Tesla Shanghai gigafactory makes slightly better quality than Teslas made in US and so Shanghai gigafactory is rewarded with another gigafactory extension. To much to list but research more, and have more healthy happy prosperous years ahead. ✅️ 🙏👍 👨👩👧👦 ⛩️ 🎎 💃 🎼 🕺🐼
Yes, Eu Gene got a rear parcel tray (I folded it up during filming). We don’t receive a mobile connector in Singapore because 3-pin chargers aren’t currently allowed in Singapore.
Good question. Probably closer to 300km at that speed. I understand from other owners that driving at 110km/h would be a sweet spot on efficiency and travel time. Model Y RWD has 455km WLTP range.

Great video as always mate, some feedback, try to mic up your counterparts (:

Another awesome Tsla owner. Articulated the points really well.
Hi Daren, I love your content. Nice work!
Thanks Yash!

LR is an ideal option for many owners! It also has more range than the Performance variant. May rent a Model Y LR in US later this month.

Good job Darren!👍 I noticed the ambient noises are gone ….although I did not see the microphone.
Thanks! The recent voice isolation feature on Final Cut Pro has been a big help. I use a shotgun mic mounted on top of the camera for most videos.

Nice choice of questions 👍
Do you know the usable capacity of the battery? Sometimes I see 50 kwh and sometimes I see 57,5 kwh and sometimes I see 60 kwh?
It’s kind of weird when you talk into the camera 😅

177k in USD. wow! that's model x plaid money in the US
Question 1:Is a shelf available at the trunk?
Question 2: does it have fog lights?
#1 Yes, there’s a shelf in the trunk
#2 No fog lights as this is RWD (it’s available on Performance)
wonderful co-host !

Best Car Ever
Sorry If I missed it, but did Eu Gene receive a charger? I see he got a rear parcel tray? We in NZ, delivery 17 August did not get parcel tray.
Yes, Eu Gene got a rear parcel tray (I folded it up during filming). We don’t receive a mobile connector in Singapore because 3-pin chargers aren’t currently allowed in Singapore.
If model Y has a 7 seater will it be longer than the model Y 5 seater ?
No it's the same length
i suggest you get a size up on your tesla tee. cheers
Agree! It shrunk in the dryer
Can it fit a mountain bike in the back with rear seats folded down?
Yes. Some US owners have put in 2 mountain bikes in their Model Y
Did you guys experience a drop in charging speed while next to another Tesla charging too?
No. Singapore is fortunate to have only the latest V3 Superchargers which don’t split charging load.
Nice! Thank you for the reply!
Wow so expensive in Singapore. We in Australia have a good price.
Australia & New Zealand got the cheapest Model Y's by around $20,000 less. UK price similar to Singapore.
@@farmerfarmerer3847 £154,000 is what it costs in SGD
Congrats Eu Gene
thank you!
Great choice Eu Gene!
Thanks!
did he say " tes LAH?'
awesome vid! My mother in law is Singaporean so we try and visit every year! I'll shoot you an email for a possible collab so maybe we can meet up!
Sounds good Chris! I’ll be in LA from 16-20 Sep if you’re around then. Can also DM on Twitter (@darenyoong)!

How many real kilometers can we do at 130km/h ?
