    TESLA is working with Singaporean authorities to conduct tests again on one of its cars here that was slapped with a S$15,000 carbon emissions surcharge, a spokeswoman of the US car company has told BT.

    The Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore said on Thursday that it imposed the surcharge on an imported and used Tesla Model S - the first and only one here - because tests showed that its power consumption hit 444 watt-hour/km.
