The country’s first of Tesla Center is now fully operational. The facility, consisting of the Tesla Philippines’ head office, the experience center, the delivery hub, and after-sales service support, can now provide a comprehensive and one-stop experience.
The Tesla Experience Center first opened late last year, marking the much-awaited arrival of one of the world’s leading electric vehicle (EV) brands. The facility served as a boutique where interested buyers may get a closer look and feel of the vehicles on offer.
It was followed up with the opening of the first Supercharging Station on November 8, 2024 in adjacent mall, Uptown Mall. With the completion of its after-sales service support, new owners can now rest assured that their vehicles will be cared for after purchase. Tesla Philippines also started its first deliveries of the Model 3 this week, marking a significant step forward in electric vehicles ownership and sustainable development in the Philippines. All the facilities are operated directly by US-based Tesla.
The celebration of the facility’s completion was attended by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., lauding the company for investing in the Philippines and trusting the government’s forward-thinking policies and innovation drive.
In his speech, President Marcos pointed out that the Philippine’s infrastructure and policies support the industry and its aspiration for more utilization of Electric Vehicles (EVs).
“Tesla’s decision to invest in the Philippines is a recognition of our nation’s potential, underpinned by forward-thinking policies and a collective determination to innovate,” President Marcos said on Monday.
“As Tesla lays a groundwork, and as we invest in infrastructure and implement policies supporting the industry, competition will grow. Then, what may seem as aspirational today – half of the vehicles in our streets as EVs – will become attainable tomorrow,” he added.
“Tesla is building a generation of Filipinos equipped to lead in the global shift towards sustainable technologies such as this,” the Chief Executive said. The President thanked Tesla for believing in the Philippines and its potential.
“To Tesla, thank you for believing in the Philippines. Your investment in the country extends beyond transportation and infrastructure; it is in the people and potential of the country. To the Filipino people, let us work together to ensure that this milestone runs parallel with our shared journey towards sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation.”
“Tesla enables the use of electric vehicles by providing a comprehensive and seamless Tesla Experience directly in the Philippines. Tesla Charging Network and services are available and operated 24/7 to serve Tesla owners. We will keep putting the best efforts to further invest in charging infrastructure and hire locals to transcend Philippines towards sustainable energy.” said Ms. Isabel Fan, Regional Director of Tesla Philippines.
