Tesla Model Y Malaysia: Customers to receive a free Wall Connector

https://soyacincau.com/2023/07/14/tesla-mod...obox=1689338712



Tesla Model Y customers in Malaysia will be provided with a free Wall Connector. This was confirmed through our conversation with Tesla Malaysia’s hotline.

As odd as this might sound, this free Wall Connector perk is something that was not mentioned on Tesla Malaysia’s website. We actually first heard of it through a post on Malaysia Electric Vehicle Owners Club (MyEVOC) Facebook group.

According to Tesla Malaysia’s customer service agent that we spoke to over the phone, Tesla’s delivery team will first determine if the customer’s home or premise can support the Wall Connector when they come to hand over the Model Y to the customer.

The Wall Connector that Tesla Malaysia will provide is able to deliver AC charging of up to 11kW depending on the electrical system of the customer’s home or premise. Specifically, it needs to have a three-phase power supply system to achieve 11kW while a one-phase system will limit the power output to 7.4kW and below.

According to the support page on Tesla Australia’s website, the Wall Connector can provide up to 75km of driving range per hour. So, you can easily get a full charge from zero with overnight charging.

While the Wall Connector will be provided for free, customers still have to pay for the installation fee. The customer service agent did not reveal the actual installation fee to us but based on information from several installers such as Carput, EVGuru, and MyEV Mart, the current market rate is around RM1,200 to RM1,800.

The agent did not reveal the retail price for the Wall Connector as well. If you need a price reference though, the Wall Connector is currently being sold through Tesla Singapore’s online store for SGD790 (~RM2,708.)

As noted earlier, you are now able to book a Tesla Model Y in Malaysia by paying a non-refundable order fee of RM1,000 through Tesla’s website. Available in three different variants, the starting price of the base Rear-Wheel Drive model is RM199,000.

However, the actual price that you need to pay is RM200,700 once you include related fees such as delivery & administration, and number plate. The RM1,000 order fee that you have paid during the booking process is included in the final price. On the booking checkout page, it is mentioned that the price excludes taxes and other fees.

In case you are wondering how is it like to experience a Tesla Model Y, check out our early look at the EV above. At the time, a grey-imported Tesla Model Y was priced at more than RM400,000.

inb4 Tesla will berlambak on the road soon.

still need 3 phase electric at home right? those old houses need to upgrade wiring

stupid question

since we're in malaysia, i got question.

this car got driveshaft/shock/lower arm/ etc etc? just like normal car?
only no need engine oil/atf?

house can provide that much power meh??? can explode or not?? TNB bill how increase ka?

No driveshaft

Suspension yes

Grey import Tesla looks attractive but now

wall connector only. did they included the electronic to charge with it?

Definately TNB bill increase as our current household rate based on consumption block. Use more pay more.

Somemore I wonder whether overnite charging with few airconds blasting will meltdown the household wiring or not

thats why... Msia not ready for EV cars yet.... wait after 5 yrs or more la...

will be contentedly rolling coal till the infrastructure is acceptable, and we have green sources of electricity

feed your curiosity

bakun?

What ICE cars would you get in the similar price range of 200k?

Definitely need to change to 3 phase with proper design for the max demand. Will add not only installation cost for the charger but also this conversion. Condo already 3 phase wonder how they will allow it or not. Maybe put individual meter or subscribe to those pay to use service.

i don't receive a single electron from that dam...and neither do u

mahathir krik krik too

some condo offer their resident to build em on behalf at their own designated parking lot. Individual meter.
