All Asians love Teslas my Vietnamese friends all have model S or Ys. They go home to Vietnam and drive electric bikes or tuk tuks or motocycles all are electrified now due to pollution in the cities. that can be eye watering from all the diesels and 2 cycles which are banned now in most Asian cities. LPG aka autogas is the only legal fuel for 4 cycles as well. Same for the Indians all their major cities have gone Autogas or electric petrol is largely banned now. So they get exposure to how in high density environments people just don’t need 300+ miles of range in a single drive. A 300 mile EV is more than a weeks of driving for urbanites once they experience that truth first hand range anxiety disappears and you think well I need a plug over night once week or less or 20min at a super charger to get to 90% SOC every ten days or so. Asians fly and rent cars on the regular so having a city car is second nature. Especially the ones who only had a 2 or 3 wheeler where they lived in Asia beforehand. I will be in Thailand for at least 60 days and plan on renting a electric motorcycle for the whole time and peer to peer rentals of EV cars if I need one in Bangkok parking is a nightmare so the 2 wheeler is the go to.
