The Tesla website has been found to have listed several aftersales job positions for Singapore, with vehicle service technician, vehicle readiness specialist, service advisor and service manager listings posted last week, and a parts advisor job listing added today.
A quick search finds Hong Seh Motors in Singapore to be “the first and only retailer for Tesla cars” in the city-state, and the Careers section of their own website shows a different list of job vacancies from that posted on the Tesla website; namely, sales executive, panel beater, painter and cleaner/detailer job positions.
However, Singapore isn’t yet listed on Tesla’s location search on its website, therefore the American EV maker appears to be building a presence of its own in the island country. The endeavour certainly appears to be for the long term, as all positions advertised are full-time, and some of these are for ‘preparing to meet the needs of Model S, Model X, Model 3 customers and beyond.”
Notably, one of the requirements stated for a vehicle service technician is occasional interstate and international travel; as Singapore’s immediate neighbour, Malaysia naturally falls into the scope of said technicians’ interstate/international travel, and this could mean the serving of Tesla vehicle owners in Malaysia through the Singapore-based operations, though this could equally be for training purposes.
Missing from the listings in the careers section for Singapore are sales and administrative staff, so this could be purely an aftersales operation as it stands. That said, this still represents a growth in support for Tesla owners in the region, and Tesla owners on our shores could stand to benefit. Watch this space.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
For tiny Singapore a Tesla would be the perfect fit (a bicycle would do the job as well).
EV is now the trend of automotive industry, EV is the future. This is why GC Telsa is the most valuable car company in the world. I hope my first national carmaker can create another EV for the rakyat, it is sad that the Iriz EV never made it to production and GO instead
In the past, you had complained about high cost of EV battery replacement so why are you demanding for Iriz EV when you clearly could not afford it? Might as well blame Ferrari for making their cars expensive and you could not afford it either.
Please don’t be sour grape la…US big or not? Tesla sells more car than many other car makers and still able to serve their owners well with all their super charger.
It is not about the size of the country. It is about the people, the mindset, the government, the attitude.
U just jealous that the tiny Singapore is doing better than us.
Let’s not start this Malaysia vs Singapore argument here now guys.
“Tesla sells more car than many other car makers”
Where shall that be?
Gotta bring my Tesla Model S85 there servis then.
What need to be serviced? Wiper or break pad?

Small yet can afford, my point though is much more, it is the readiness of the infrastructure, no oil factor and crucially government support.
Good to know that i am a fan of Tesla

That’s great. But without adequate charging station in Malaysia, driving long distance in an EV now is probably not yet a good idea. KL to Sg is still probably doable on a single full charge, but on selected Tesla models.
Hybrid also not yet fully consumed in our country, alrdy talk about EV standard?
