Free mobile connector for MYP is a limited time promo; wall charger is included with car but not mentioned anywhere. You can check and confirm it with your DA if it’s included with your car (it should).

New EV number plate!

Need to get it yourself directly from JPJ. Tesla will only fit the new EV plate for newly delivered cars.

It costs RM98 per set and needs to make appointment with fitment center to install it.

What tint you guys opt for your Model 3? Is the 3M one recommended by Tesla worth it? Any recommended tint / shop with good workmanship?

He bought Model Y Performance with current ongoing promotion which is free mobile connector.

Well well well… ._.

Personally, I'm quite fed up with the navigation in Tesla. If I'm going to familiar places then I'll still use it for the sake of battery % estimation. If you're going somewhere unfamiliar, it's really risky.

One of my most hated "issue" is that it tends to give unnecessary guides when I am just suppose to go straight. For example, when you're driving on a straight road and there is an left exit coming up, Waze / Google Maps would not even ping you to do anything (which naturally means to stay on your lane and continue to go straight). But Tesla navigation just tell you to keep right in xxx meters which in fact is just to keep on your current straight lane. I got confused so many times on unfamiliar roads by this unnecessary guide. Also, the navigation tends to give you last minute direction. By the time it gives you alert, you're almost at the intersection already and if you're not on the correct lane, good luck and go straight to reroute again.


I have 2 kids too (3 year old and 5 year old), still opt for white interior as I really like how it look.
Black seats and interior are way too common, you rarely get a choice to get white interior in a car.
Doesn't mean the black interior is bad at all, it looks good too, just my personal choice to go with white. It's all up to you.

It is, I am RWD owner.

438KM is the EPA standard, which is considered the more conservative standard compared to WLTP, but it is slightly closer to real world range.
It mainly depends on your route, traffic, weather, elevation and driving behavior.
If you're full on highway with fixed speed at around 100-110kmh, I think its not difficult to hit 500km range.
If you're on daily city drive with stop and go traffic, especially lots of short distance travel, you'll likely see a range of only 300km++.

I'm currently living in Sri Petaling area with daily commute bringing kids go and back from childcare center, and most of the trips are very short distance. My 100% > 20% gets me roughly 250km-280km of range only. FYI my daily route is considered very unoptimized for fuel or electricity consumption, even last time with my Honda Civic also getting around 250km only for ~RM65-70 tank of petrol.

Theoretically, yes. But also do take into account that EV are a lot heavier than ICE counterparts.
For my case, Model 3 RWD is more than 400kg heavier than Civic and that kind of offset the efficiency of EV especially in very short trips with lots of traffic. The car has to repeatedly push a stationery 1760kg object to move forward and stop, not to mention in elevated roads (and we also have lots of speed bumps).

In the highway, do notice that I specified "fixed 100-110kmh" speed. Anything above that or any sudden acceleration, you'll lose battery SoC a lot faster. The key is to stay on constant speed and minimize sudden accelerations, then your range will be closer or even better than the rated range. Since switching to EV, my foot has became so gentle nowadays.

Tesla's est. range is off by quite a lot if you're referring to WLTP. I am also quite puzzled why did Tesla display WLTP on their MY website but using EPA in their car. Should just standardize it to reduce the misaligned expectations from customer. I guess they use WLTP to make their cars ranges look better on paper compared to the competitions.

Can bid number from JPJeBid system or buy direct from JPJMySikap.
Bid you need to wait for results, number can lasts for 6 12 months. Bought from JPJMySikap number can lasts for 3 6 months. Can get the number in the same day.
Just buy it now, no need worry, more than enough time to get your car.

Once gotten number, then proceed to get the insurance.

My bad, remember wrongly for both JPJeBid and MySIKAP validity. Should be 12 months and 6 months, respectively.

I got my car with 90+% SoC. But on my collection day the whole SuperCharger section got closed off due to too many cars pending delivery parked there, so no luck to use it for me. I used Destination Charger though, just simply for the sake of learning how to charge it.

Superchargers rate has been reduced to RM1.13/kWh

Long awaited SuperChargers at Mid Valley … located at The Gardens Zone B P1

Too bad, only 1 destination charger, as per the pic. Yes it’s indeed a bit not making sense that you’ll have to go back to car park to move and find new parking after supercharged. The supercharging is too fast

Some minor details I noticed in holiday update 2024.44.25.2 not mentioned in the release note :

- Christmas / Santa mode now make the ambient light switch between red, green, and white
- Rear display no longer take over the car audio as soon as it starts any video playing app; instead, there is a prompt at front display to ask if allow rear display to take over the car audio. This is especially useful for me as previously every time my kid get up the rear seats, he'll just launch YouTube and my radio/Spotify will immediately stopped and audio took over by the rear display. I felt like I finally gotten back the control of the car now
- Auto wiper seems to be working slightly better than before... or maybe is my wrong feeling, still monitoring.

You get only 10% discount?

According to official website, it still stated 20%.

Sorry if this has been asked before - has anyone tried to do tire rotation at Tesla service center before? I tried to request service from within Tesla app and gotten a cost estimate of RM362 for just tire rotation, which I felt is very much on the high side. I know this can be done outside, just that with the experience with many tire shops out there, many are not really experienced with dealing with EVs or Tesla, specifically. I would want to avoid damaging either the bottom of the car while jacking up (if didn’t do properly) or scratch/damage the wheel cover or rim…

Recommendations of any good and experienced tire shop that you’ve experienced are welcome… KL area.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Done my 10k km tire rotation + balancing + alignment at Quick Save USJ. Their workers are familiar with Tesla and they have the jack pads available. Total costs was RM113.40. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hands free autopilot is such a quality of life improvement for long distance drive.

You can now rest your hand on your lap while on autopilot, just make sure to concentrate on the road and have your palm facing upward near the steering wheel and the system will not nag you to apply pressure periodically.
