Tesla announced today that its first store in Metro Manila, the capital of the Philippines, will hold a media open house on November 8 and officially open to the public on November 9. The store is located in Uptown Bonifacio Shopping Center in Taguig City and is part of the company’s expansion in the Southeast Asian market.
Earlier this year, Tesla started construction of the store in the metropolitan area of the Philippines. The opening of the store marks Tesla’s further layout in the Philippine market and demonstrates its growth potential in Southeast Asia.
Although Tesla has not yet announced the first batch of models to be launched, industry insiders generally speculate that Tesla may launch its Model 3 and Model Y models that have performed well in the global market. As the demand for electric vehicles in the Philippine market gradually increases, Tesla’s entry will undoubtedly promote the development of the country’s new energy vehicle industry.
The opening of this store also marks the acceleration of Tesla’s expansion in Southeast Asia. In addition to the Philippines, Tesla has already opened stores in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, and plans to establish sales and service networks in more markets. Tesla’s arrival is expected to boost the development of the local electric vehicle market in the Philippines, while providing consumers with more environmentally friendly and innovative travel options.
Before the opening of Tesla’s first store in the Philippines, media and potential customers will have the opportunity to attend the media open day on November 8, when Tesla will showcase its latest products and technologies. The public will officially enter the store the next day to begin experiencing Tesla’s high-tech electric vehicles and related services.
