Penrose

Another benefit is that Bugis is only three stops away. Area 7 has seen a flood in property estimations because of the unfurling of the Rochor-Ophir Corridor, so the individuals who are valued out of the Bugis/Beach Road stretch are likewise disposed to think about Penrose as another option. 

All things considered, Penrose isn't for everybody. The area is unquestionably helpful, and even accompanies the upside of being close to the Geylang foodie asylum; yet this zone is thickly stuffed and very swarmed. 

A few group likewise believe Geylang to be a defamed territory (despite the fact that Penrose isn't inside the red-light zone). 

General feel of the zone probably won't be depicted as too unattractive, so potential mortgage holders should go on a couple of outings down to get a decent vibe of the territory – regardless of the apartment suite itself flaunting great offices zeroed in on family mortgage holders.

Tesla vehicles have completed 70% of the 1 million taxi rides at Amsterdam airport

Tesla vehicles have completed 70% of the 1 million taxi rides at Amsterdam airport this year

The Schiphol airport, Amsterdam’s international airport, announced today that they completed their one-millionth taxi ride this year and an impressive 70% of those rides were done by their large fleet of Tesla vehicles.

BIOS-groep, a taxi company operating in Amsterdam, was an early adopter of electric vehicles and built the largest fleet of Tesla taxis (167 Model S sedans) back in 2014.

Stef Hesselink, Managing Director of BIOS-groep, said about the use of the vehicles:

The Model S have held up beautifully since they’ve been put to work in 2014, having an average of over 250,000-300,000 km on each odometer by the end of 2017.

They say that “taxis and other commercial vehicles have a very different usage pattern and could drive up to over 100.000 km per year.”

Earlier this year, we have learned that they started updating their fleet with Model X electric SUVs.

The company announced today that the fleet has been responsible for 70% of the 1 million taxi rides from the airport this year:

“Today marked the one-millionth taxi ride to leave the Schiphol taxi stand in 2018. Of these journeys, around 70% were driven in a Tesla: electric and no emissions. As a celebration, we treated the passengers who went on the one-millionth ride, as well as all of the taxi drivers.”

They covered the cost of the ride for two travelers from the United Kingdom who were the one-millionth customers and they were given “a souvenir model Tesla.”

Tesla’s vehicles have become particularly popular with taxis in the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway, and are starting to get there in America too. Last year, we talked to the very first Tesla Taxi driver in North America when his Model S hit 100,000 miles.

More taxi companies and drivers are taking advantage of the low-cost of operation and Tesla’s 8 year or unlimited miles Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty.
