Tesla is now in the Philippines. The American multinational automotive company has set up shop in the Philippines as a national sales office with an Experience Center located in Uptown Parade beside the Uptown Mall in Bonifacio Global City. Tesla Motors Philippines, as the company is called, is offering the Model 3 and Model Y initially with customer deliveries to start in early 2025. Both the Model 3 and Model Y are sourced directly from Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory, but uses the widely accepted CCS Type 2 charging port. This allows Tesla to access a wide range of public charging stations. Meanwhile, Tesla will also setup its own Supercharger network starting at the Uptown Mall in BGC that offers up to a peak 250 kW of charging. Compared to other public fast chargers, Tesla is charging just P 19 per kWh which equates to P 1,140 for a full charge. Initially, there will four Supercharger slots located at B2 of the Megaworld-operated mall. The bumper-to-bumper warranty is pegged at 4 years or 80,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), while the battery and drive motor warranty is at 8 years or 160,000 kilometers (192,000 kilometers for select variants). Tesla guarantees a 70 percent retention of battery capacity over the warranty period. The Model 3 is the starting point to the Tesla range and has been just updated this year giving it a more refined user experience inside and out. The Model 3 measures in at 4,720 mm in length, 1,933 mm in width, and 1,441 mm in height. It has a ground clearance of 138 mm. Key features of the Model 3 include 360-degree acoustic glass, an all-glass roof with UV protection, a central 15.4-inch front touchscreen with built-in and downloadable apps and navigation, a rear 8-inch touchscreen, and of course, Tesla Autopilot.

Moving up, there’s the Long Range variant with 629 kilometers of range and a 0-100 km/h time of 4.4 seconds. Both these variants have a 201 km/h top speed.
