Tesla, Mobil Listrik Canggih Amerika Segera Beredar di Jalanan Jakarta.

Tesla Model S, is introduced at North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. Consumer Reports on February 25, 2014 named the US electric luxury car Tesla Model S the top vehicle of 2014 to buy. The US consumer shopping guide selected Tesla as the best overall in test performance, reliability and safety. “The Tesla is a glimpse into a future where cars and computers coexist in seamless harmony. Its 225-mile (362-kilometer) driving range and five-hour charges, using Tesla’s special connector, also make it the easiest, most practical electric car to live with,” said the magazine.

“Tahun depan kita mau masukin mobil listrik Tesla,” kata Presdir Prestige Image Motorcars, Rudy Salim kepada detikOto di Jakarta.

Menurut Rudy, pihaknya akan bekerja sama dengan salah satu perusahaan di Singapura untuk membuat layanan aftersales Tesla. Perusahaan Singapura itu diklaim sebagai ahli mobil listrik.

“Kita akan kerja sama dengan salah satu perusahaan di Singapura yang memang ahli listrik untuk bikin service center di Jakarta,” imbuhnya.

Rudy mengaku, pasar Indonesia akan menerima kehadiran mobil listrik ini. Sebab, Pemerintah Indonesia dan masayarakat pun sudah mulai aktif dengan mobil yang ramah lingkungan.

“Saya rasa (peminatnya) mestinya tinggi ya. Apalagi ada LCGC semua maunya low cost atau green car. Apalagi pemerintah kita juga lagi heboh-hebohnya mobil listrik, Pak Dahlan (Dahlan Iskan mantan Menteri BUMN) juga ngeluarin mobil listrik,” ujarnya.

Rudy pun berharap penjualan mobil listrik Tesla ini didukung oleh Pemerintah. Soalnya, mobil ini akan menjadi contoh mobil yang ramah lingkungan.

Tapi, untuk sementara fasilitas pengisian ulang baterai masih belum disebarkan. Pemilik mobil Tesla pun bisa men-charge baterai mobil di rumah maupun di kantornya.

“Untuk sementara charge di rumah atau di kantor. Karena itu bisa sampai 400 kilometer. Jadi enggak usah khawatir, bisa Jakarta, Bandung, Jakarta, Bandung bolak-balik enggak habis,” tutur Rudy.

Untuk tahap pertama, Prestige akan membawa Tesla model S ke Indonesia. Diperkirakan, model ini akan hadir pada Januari 2015. “Desember jalan, Januari udah tiba di Jakarta,” kata Rudy.

========================

Tesla set to ride into Indonesia in January 2015.

Elon Musk is set to bring Tesla Motors’ Model S to Indonesia in January 2015, local media portal Detik reports.

As CEO and CTO of rocket and spacecraft manufacturing and launch company SpaceX, Musk needs no introduction. He is one of the more famous members of the “PayPal Mafia,” and a name amongst names when it comes to tech innovation. Tesla Motors is one of the only global players that designs, manufactures, and sells luxury electric cars and electric vehicle powertrain components.

Detik reports that Tesla’s Model S will be sold by a handful of local luxury car suppliers in Indonesia, one of which is the high-end Prestige Image Motorcars. The company said that the Model S would arrive at their dealership some time next month.

Regarding the necessary infrastructure for electric cars, Indonesia is not ideal. Tesla cars require electric charging points, which Jakarta is not well-known for, although a few were built back in 2012. Nevertheless, electric cars like the Tesla Model S can drive up to 400 kilometers when the battery is full. In Indonesia, Tesla vehicle owners would primarily need to charge their cars at home or at their office. In the US, the Tesla Model S 2014 has a starting price around US$69,900. It’s still unknown how much the car will be sold for in Indonesia.

Indonesia has made some tentative commitments to fostering the growth of electric cars. Recently, the government signed an agreement with five universities, encouraging them to start developing electric vehicles in hopes of reducing the archipelago’s dependence on oil. The government is ready to disburse Rp 76 billion (about US$6 million) to each university. In January, Surabaya’s Institute of Technology Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is set to implement an electric bus on campus, which can run up to 160 kilometers per fully charged battery. Previously, ITS had also launched a series of nationwide electric car variants. Former minister of state Dahlan Iskan is also determined to continue efforts to develop electric cars locally.
