Doesn't seem right somehow...
There's an interesting post under the article that says this:
Quote:
Once again, Jalopnik re-types a story without doing proper research.
If you actually read the story as posted by the owner, you will find the smog shop calculated the Tesla’s emissions by driving a predetermined circuit, letting it sit over night, measuring the next day, repeating the circuit, measuring the next day, so on for a few days.
This would be equivalent to leaving a gasoline car idle all night long, then averaging the total fuel consumption over the circuit only. Huge incompetence on the part of the government, huge incompetence on the part of the smog shop.

And it looks like Elon Musk is on the case :
Tesla boss calls PM Lee over CO2 surcharge levied on first Model S in Singapore, Transport News & Top Stories - The Straits Times
will be cool to see how this pans out.
