with the recent MITI's policy... if Tesla need to price their car above 300k starting July.... how would this impact current Tesla's owners where our cars are insured below 200k? can we top up?

+ My morning drive and night drive alone in my Model 3 is no joke. Crazy efficiency. Always get 10.5kwh/100km to 12kwh/100km

that is easily 500km to 570km per full charge at 60kwh capacity battery.

+ the Supercharger is the cheapest. rm1-1.10 per 1kwh. Thats like charging fast similar to ron95 budi95 rate. And the Tesla destination charger 11kw AC is free.

+ The one pedal driving is buttery smooth. No seasick feeling.

+ Suspension and handling is superb. Felt like gliding on the road in a good way.

Cons:

- Just hate the super simple dashboard design.

- The wireless charger dont have AC vents cooling it, the phone barely gets charged when it heats up. more like a phone warmer instead.

- The proliferation tiny holes on those backseat. They dont have ventilation cooling on backseat. My daughter like to eat snacks and make a mess at the backseat. those tiny dust get into those tiny2 holes. Nightmare to clean.

- No retractable sunshade. Dont really work in msia super hot climate. In fact your ACs work extra hard to cool the cabin during the afternoon heat. The most expensive tint woso still feel the heat. Just bought those cheap shade in Lazada. ACs become cooler. Use less energy.

- Tiny stone chip in a few places. MAybe kena tiny sand stone from those morning maintenance ppl that cut the grass landscape along the road. Probably the spray paint thickness is not that good.

different year model will have different pricing.. your insurance will still follow market rate (which will not be increasing)
300k is not also due to parts pricing increase.. so shouldnt impact your coverage as well..

Normally after we complete Step 4 in tesla App (financing), how long will it take for Tesla Delivery Advisor to contact us back?

I do self financing on my chosen bank. Already got the Letter of Undertaking (LoU). But in Tesla App step 4, it didn’t have any button to upload the LoU, just the keyed in details of my chosen bank.

I’m ordered a Tesla Model 3 Premium 2026 since 17th May 2026. Went to Tesla Experience Gurney Plaza penang and the sale advisor (SA) there assisted me to do from Step 1 to Step 3.

The SA said this is common as the sale demand is spiking right now ever since the RM300k after 1st July MITI announcement.
DA will contact me once everything is in order.

But I think it’s been almost 2 weeks now. hmm.gif

I think the Tesla buying experience is kinda troublesome since I have to do on my own. Very different from what I have been dealing when I purchased Honda cars before. sweat.gif

Wanna know your experience in ordering Tesla, how fast did you get from Day 1 doing the RM1k booking?

Already did this morning.

Until now still no response LEL.

Sales demand must up the roof now eh? With the MITI 1 July announcement and whatnot?

This has got to be the most frustrating car purchase process I ever did in my entire life doh.gif
i mean, when i bought my Honda CRV RS hybrid 2025 last year, the whole process took like less than 10 days. yawn.gif

I went to MSIG cause Etiqa no longer offers agreed value for Tesla (or was it for EV).
