My LR RWD delivery is on Nov 25, booking was made on 10 Oct after the budget announcement.

I havent prepared or enquired on the wall connector. Looks like i will need to convert my current single phase electric to 3-phase before start to install the connector. Guys, mind to share your experience on this?

The phase conversion and connector installation will probably cost rm10k+ for my house. Also, if im going for  3-phase, i guess might as well go for solar panel, that will be another rm35k++. Darn, all this costs money! Im thinking if i can buy and use the granny charger/mobile connector first while i decide on the whole 3phase and solar thingy. Will it be safe to use granny charger as a temporary main charging source? Chatgpt says its safe and highly recommended due to the low amp being good for battery conservation, as long as i use a durable switch point, but other sources say that granny is only meant for emergency, not as main charging point. What do you guys think?

Wire up with CEE socket will be safer... but well best to go with wall connector. Sure people can say everyday just charge, but I really find that a hassle if daily need to charge laugh.gif

I initially thought I needed to convert too, but my use case, I'm not heavily loading my house, so I've survived fine with my charger on single phase. Also usage at home is too low to warrant solar panels. Using a granny charger should be fine if you keep it at super low amps and essentially trickle charging, which would likely mean you'd need to keep it plugged in all the time at home.

Good luck figuring it out, and be safe.

I know Etiqa are quite reliable when claiming to repair and most workshop are happy to accept their business coz they pay quite fast.

still considering whether to order on Christmas day or not. Sure they can deliver by Jan 2026 right? Just find it a hassle need to do all by own. And the range 466km is a bit worrying.

AB also having super good deals on G60 now. Even G30 offers are really tempting.

Doing sprint driving to ipoh on lr rwd shouldn't be a problem at all but you have to charge in each way i believe

EV has become the daily, but the manual goes out at least 3 times a week still.

if around where you are in KL and Ipoh you have easy access to convenient charging.. can consider switching.
that's how i decided to switch, home/work is my routine, both places can charge, so it works for me.

your concern is real, you do not want to be going out of your way to charge.

Just pull the trigger because KL-Ipoh is easy peasy. Easy peasy with my LR AWD, even more easy with the LR RWD. My LR AWD can do a return trip from KL-Ipoh without spirited driving and I'm sure the LR RWD will do better. Even with spirited driving you just need to charge for like 30 minutes at Ipoh before making the trip back to KL comfortably. If you have a landed house, don't even hesitate.

If one day Tesla did actually build SuperChargers at Ipoh then it will be even better. Take a 15-20 minutes charge at SuperCharger is more than enough for a comfortable KL-Ipoh drive with LR RWD.

But I'm not exactly sure what's kind of "spirited drive" you were having. If it's something like all the way 160km/h+, EV might not be so suitable after all. Still doable for 1-way, 2-way not so sure. EV is best driven smoothly under our national speed limit.
