Tesla Philippines has set up a clean, simple display at The Podium where mall-goers can walk right up to the brand’s two best-selling models, the Model Y and the refreshed Model 3. The pop-up runs until 25 November, giving shoppers a chance to see the updated sedan in person for the first time.
The new Model 3 sits at the center of the display, wearing its revised exterior and updated hardware. Tesla added a front-facing camera to improve visibility, which brings the total to eight around the car.
There’s also a new turn-signal stalk, something many drivers have been waiting for, and matte-black badges that give it a cleaner look. The Long Range version now reaches up to 660 kilometers on a full charge, while the Performance trim is rated at up to 571 kilometers.
What stands out is that these upgrades are standard across all Model 3 trims without a price increase, which Tesla says is part of improving the overall ownership experience.
The pop-up also shows several ongoing offers. All Model Y buyers receive a complimentary one-year comprehensive insurance package. Customers paying in cash or through Tesla’s partner banks get a free wall connector.
Those using an existing owner’s referral code may also apply a P13,000 referral incentive to their purchase.
Test drives can be booked through Tesla’s event page, allowing visitors to experience the vehicles around Ortigas before heading back to the mall. Staff at the booth guide interested buyers, share specs, and help arrange appointments at the Tesla Center in BGC, where the full lineup and charging solutions are available.
The Podium setup is designed to be straightforward with the two cars side by side, one charging unit on display, and easy access for anyone curious about EVs. It’s a small space, but it draws attention from people walking through the mall, especially with the red Model 3 catching the light from the atrium above.
Tesla’s pop-up runs until 25 November, giving visitors a few more days to explore the display, check the new features of the Model 3, and learn more about the ongoing offers.
