During the Shanghai Auto Show, a Japanese complained that Honda sent only five people to participate in the Auto Show, because the funding was insufficient. By comparison, the Volkswagen Group rented two planes to send board members to China to examine the development of the auto industry.

BYD is killing it in Singapore. Top BEV brand and 5th best selling car brand overall for April. Singapore is a luxury car market. This is because the tax on buying a car is so outrageously high that those who can afford it are buyers of high end cars. You will see a lot of Mercedes and BMW on Singapore roads. The fact that BYD, a non-luxury option can compete very well here is a good sign.
tax is not the major issue in Singapore, it's getting the license plate that cost a lot of money.

Chinese brands (incl. Chinese owned) make up 148 out of the 294, or just over 50%.
If you count Chinese-made Teslas, even higher.
yes COE, Singaporeans consider that as getting license plate for their car.
All Singapore Teslas come from Shanghai gigafab.
No lol.
I am Singaporean and owner of a BYD Atto 3. My license plate cost 20,000 Sgd. COE on the other hand easily cost over 100,000 Sgd. Now it's more like 110-120k.
License plate is only expensive if you want to go for rare number/letter combinations. COE and license plate are two entirely different things.
okay, I guess the Singaporean colleagues I spoke to just made it sound like license plate related cost rather than tax then.
How is the car Gordon? Curious for your opinion.
