BIZ BUZZ: Tesla is coming to town

Avatar

Tesla Motors, the Elon Musk-led company that produces “bad..s, zero-emission vehicles that can charge with clean energy,” is making a big splash in the Philippines with the opening on Friday of the first Tesla Showroom Flagship Experience Center in the country.

The Philippines is the fourth country in the region to have such facility after Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

It will be housed at Uptown Parade, one of the many developments within the Uptown Bonifacio township developed by Andrew Tan-led property leader Megaworld Corp.

No less than Alliance Global Group Inc. President and CEO Kevin Tan and Megaworld President Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso will lead the opening of the facility that includes an after-sales service center aside from the showroom.

They will be joined by Tesla executives from the region who are flying in for the happy occasion.

Uptown is already home to many firsts—the first Tim Hortons, Randy’s Donuts, Tempur Cinema and soon, Morton’s Steakhouse.

The first Tesla charging center will also be in Uptown Mall attached to Uptown Parade, just beside the Palace and the newly constructed International Finance Center, which will be the future expansion home of JP Morgan, another American company.

Tesla says the opening is a “celebration to remember” and showcases its commitment “to revolutionizing” the local landscape.
