Tesla brings EV star power

Fresh off its Philippine debut just a few months ago, Tesla made its presence felt in a big way at the recently concluded Manila International Auto Show. For its first-ever appearance at the country’s biggest car show, the EV giant didn’t hold back — unveiling the new Model Y in a striking Glacier Blue and letting the public get up close with the newly updated Model 3.

The Model Y, now known as the world’s best-selling car for two years running, stood tall at the Tesla booth. It wasn’t just the color that drew people in — it was the overall package. With better ride comfort, sleeker looks, and Tesla’s usual stash of high-tech features, the updated Model Y had folks crowding around for a peek.

Right next to it was the revamped Model 3, looking sharper and quieter than ever. This version comes with a cleaner, more premium interior, a longer range, and for those with a need for speed, a Performance variant that does 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds.

Tesla remains committed to expanding its charging infrastructure to support its growing customer base. With Supercharging stations strategically located at Uptown Mall, Mall of Asia and Shangri-La Plaza, as well as a Destination Charger at Eastwood Mall, the company is dedicated to ensuring comprehensive and convenient charging solutions for its owners.

Apart from putting efforts into expanding the existing charging network, Tesla launches the Home Charging Program to offer a complimentary Wall Connector for new owners to charge at home. Plans for additional charging sites are already in motion, further enhancing accessibility for Tesla drivers.

During the Manila International Auto Show, attendees were able to explore both the best-selling Model Y and the dynamic Model 3. The event also provided insights into Tesla’s innovative charging options for these vehicles.
