If you're on facebook, i'd recommend joining the local Tesla group. Members there have shared insurance quotes and should give you a better idea.
Also, roof is glass, so seeing future owners getting windshield cover of 10k, which bumps up your premium a further RM1,500

Roughly seeing people are paying 4.5-5k on insurance with 55% NCD on an SR.
But that's with all the add ons, windshield, perils etc. Which I am definitely paying for.

Also, premiums tend to fluctuate based on your own profile/claim history.. so also got a variable there.

Battery for the Tesla is covered for 8 years / 160k km under warranty, so that's sorted.
I doubt insurance would ever cover the cost of a battery replacement if it ever came to that.

i think ppl can afford tesla, dont mind much about the charging cost already....the car mthly instalment alone already around rm2k mthly or a bit less if they pay more d/p

as long as can get nearer rm1 or less for 1kwh is okay already

Just tested LR and surprisingly i can quicky get used to it in my first drive. No issue with signals except sometimes i cant hit the button accurately. Hate the scrolling buttons. They dont feel nice to use.

No front camera too?

Auto pilot abit scary for me when trying there is a lane splitting

The performance just wow and big difference with 6.x seconds car lol

Just have to get used to releasing pedal or the passenger will vomit sitting in your car

Hardly notice the heat from roof glass

I still prefer speedometer at the front steering

Charger still available for free while stock last. Book now expecting delivery by end january

Tesla front camera is on the windscreen instead of bumper. For some reason they dont use it for surround view, it doesn't show up when you press the camera button on steering

How's the one pedal driving to you? For me that's the thing that require some getting used to

yep definitely need some time to get used to but after 5 mins of driving, the "jerk" is getting lesser after i gauging my foot .

going downhill/uphill will be abit tricky as you need to lift your pedal quite frequent compare to normal road. can this be adjusted?

actually one concern is.. IF we get used to the one-pedal, then hard to adjust to different car. like some of us interchange btw our spouse's car etc.
later forgot to tekan brake to slow down.

guys, anyone know if booking model Y now, when will get the car?

I asked the SA for the downhill scenario, because in ICE car we just let go the pedal and let the car coast downhill. I was wondering whether for Tesla it would just stop half way downhill if we do the same.... according to the SA yes the car will eventually stop, so we need to finely adjust the pedal instead of letting it go all the way this is totally opposite from what we are taught for ICE car. Not sure whether this is true

I know for other EVs you can actually adjust the sensitivity of the one pedal drive

Yes if you have multiple cars then it would take some getting used to. But to me its also all about mindset lah. Like i never had a problem with the signal indicators when I first got in the Model 3 last Sunday, because i already reminded myself and set my mind for it. And no issues once I hop in back to my car

Model Y supposedly start delivery by Jan next year for first batch i think

that's true as i have tested. i was going downhill and it will slowly go to stop instead of coasting but it will be great if this can be changed in driving mode settings

also been told the internet subscription is rm40 per month but you get free trial of 1 month

Yes you can set the Regenerative Braking Level (page 79)

Unfortunately they removed the settings. Only steering and acceleration can be adjusted now

They removed this setting for Highland. Only steering and acceleration is available now

This is me sometimes

Forgot to off engine.
Tekan tak jalan.
Lepas tak brek.

Dem, I guess the only way to adjust the regen is by installing the 3rd party S3XY Buttons.

Sometimes? Driving one d?

People are starting to receive their cars tomorrow

Yes. I have the previous gen one (before Highland).

nice. i thought initially no setting can be done on regen as per some youtube reviewers.

This is not available anymore. They removed the settings

Anyone here from first batch today?

yours when?
