In Singapore, the Tesla Model Y 110 costs a fortune

For tax reasons, Tesla markets a 110 kW (150 hp) version of its Model Y in Singapore. But the price hurts.

Mobiwisy has already covered the surprising downgraded versions of Tesla in Singapore. In the city-state of Asia, where cars are heavily taxed because they are imported and considered polluting—including electric vehicles—it takes a very wealthy individual to own a car.

Singapore is an isolated patch at the tip of the Malaysian Peninsula, covering an area of 734 km². That’s smaller than New York City (780 km²) or about 1/8 of Corsica. There, speed limits are so strict that owning a high-powered car is of no real benefit.

On the road, the speed is limited to 50 km/h, while expressways reach only 90 km/h. Forget the 130 km/h of our highways. Consequently, Tesla has decided to offer very low-power versions of its Model Y and Model 3. These entry-level trims are called 110, reflecting their power in kW.

With the Standard Model Y, Tesla does not fix any of its problems

In Singapore, Teslas are strangled by taxes

The Tesla Model Y Propulsion 110 starts at 76,090 Singapore dollars… before environmental taxes. That’s already about 50,892 euros, compared to 44,990 euros in France for the 300-horsepower version.

But add taxes, and this Tesla jumps to 103,476 Singapore dollars, or about 69,210 euros. And if you choose optional extras, the total cost doubles—both through the price of the options and the tax based on the total sales price.

For example, selecting the Ultra Red color (shown here) at 3,200 Singapore dollars (about 2,140 euros) increases the bill by 7,104 dollars (roughly 4,751 euros). More than double the price!

Helix 2.0 wheels at 3,000 dollars (around 2,006 euros)? Add 6,661 dollars (about 4,455 euros). White seats for 1,500 dollars (about 1,003 euros)? Add 3,330 dollars (around 2,227 euros).

In the end, a fully equipped Tesla Model Y Propulsion 110 will cost you about 120,571 Singapore dollars, or roughly 80,650 euros! That’s an expensive skinny SUV.
