Tesla’s Growing Presence in Singapore
Tesla entered the Singapore market in 2021, and since then its popularity has soared. The Model 3 quickly became one of the top-selling EVs, thanks to its competitive range and futuristic tech.
The 2025 launch further cements Tesla’s role as a leader in Singapore’s electric mobility push. With rising petrol costs and government incentives for EV adoption, Tesla’s timing couldn’t be better.

-

Charging in Singapore
With the expansion of Singapore’s EV charging network in 2025, owning a Tesla has become more convenient.
-
Tesla Superchargers: More than 15 locations now live across the island, including major malls and business districts.
-
Public Chargers: 3,000 new points added under government programs, complementing Tesla’s network.
Range anxiety is becoming less of a concern, encouraging more drivers to consider switching.
Impact of COE on Tesla Model 3
While the Model 3’s base price is competitive for a premium EV, the COE premiums make ownership challenging.
Category B and Category E COEs, which apply to most Tesla buyers, are now above S$135,000–S$140,000. This pushes final ownership costs into luxury territory.
Still, demand remains steady, as Tesla buyers are often less sensitive to COE fluctuations compared to mass-market car buyers.
Competition in the Market
Tesla faces growing competition in Singapore. Brands like BYD, Hyundai, Polestar, and BMW have launched strong EV alternatives.
-
BYD Dolphin 2025: Affordable and family-friendly.
-
BMW i4: Premium sedan with luxury focus.
-
Hyundai Ioniq 6: Stylish design with long range.
Despite this, Tesla’s technology ecosystem, brand power, and charging network give it an edge.
Conclusion
The Tesla Model 3 2025 launch in Singapore is more than just a car release—it reflects the shift toward sustainable driving. With its updated design, cutting-edge tech, and long range, the Model 3 remains a strong contender in the EV space.
Although COE premiums push costs higher, demand shows no signs of slowing down. For buyers seeking a blend of performance, luxury, and eco-conscious driving, the Tesla Model 3 continues to be one of the best options available.
