Just had a look at the public car registration data, from April to October there were 15 new Tesla (all models) registered. In March 2017 it was 2939 new Tesla registered. Seems they have a tough time as a 'normal' car.
Pick a month from the link below and look at Table 4.1 (e)
Transport Department - Monthly Traffic and Transport Digest
@flameproof - one of our friends who was seen in a new TESLA - post-FRT-fiasco, told me that they only had the option to lease.
I'm going with the theory that a "finance company" registered a crap ton of teslas before the FRT waiver expired and these are now available to lease as and when they become available.
But emx did point out on another thread that EV registration is down for eGolf and other EV models too.
I'd rather people spending 800k on a car buy an electric Tesla instead of a gas guzzling E-Class or X5. Because they are still gonna buy a car. But we all know what our government thinks about future technologies.Original Post Deleted
Hardly the fault of the car owners. The government should have build a trash burning power plant ages ago.Original Post Deleted
IMHO it's not really a subsidy though. Just offsetting the extra cost of the batteries, everything else is pretty much the same. Price, car size, profit margin etc. Like I said, it's basically 800k for an electric vehicle vs 800k for an comparable gas vehicle. Look across the border, Tesla prices are the same is they were in HK before. Shenzhen even has an all electric bus fleet now, whereas HK can't even get buses and lorries upgraded to EU 5.
