Hmm looks like Tesla's third service centre in Malaysia is going to be in Johor.

Wow the acceleration boost is finally starting to become available for Model 3 Long Range AWD for 3k AUD!

I wonder if the acceleration boost is already available for our existing Model Y Long Range AWD? If yes, how much does it cost in MYR?

From my point of view, I think they might be re-considering the plan of setting up a supercharging station at the Sunway City Mall Ipoh because the mall is not expected to be operational before 2027 and that's a super long wait. Maybe they are exploring other suitable venues in Ipoh.

If Sunway is the only way then the perfect solution would be setting up supercharging station at a designated public & open space around Sunway Ipoh while allocating destination charging station for Sunway City Mall Ipoh. However, I think most probably they will still set up supercharging station inside a mall lmao

I think the first few batches of the Model 3 owners who collected their car in 2023 and maybe early 2024 got the free Type 2 cable. I picked up my car on 9th December 2023 and there was a Type 2 cable placed in my trunk.

By comparing with BYD within similar price points, I'd assume you're referring to the BYD Seal. These are the reasons why I picked a Model 3 over a Seal:

Lighter in weight and more agile, better handling, best in class one pedal mode, better efficiency, faster charging speed, availability of supercharger network, no scheduled maintenance, frame-less windows, much better audio system, larger trunk & frunk, superior software & UI (it's like current iOS vs Android from 2010s), superior ADAS system, future-proof on full self driving capabilities and so on

Nope. Even the 'older' Model Y doesn't have it since launch. Not sure if Tesla Malaysia has a plan to release the acceleration boost package to Malaysia customers.

Bro M3P is already fast af don't be greedy

If I'm not mistaken, Tesla's motor power output are only software limited and the power (kW) they declared to JPJ is the maximum capacity (366kW) of the motors so logically it should be allowed. 4.4s should not be the maximum performance of a 366kW motor setup. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I like the new rear tail light a a lot but the headlamp hmmmmm, it's too generic and the design lacks angriness for me. I prefer the headlamp on the Model 3.

If I'm not mistaken, only the China market gets the T logo on the front bonnet. There is no T logo for the rest of the world.

A historic sight seeing Ipoh sitting at the same table with other more illustrious cities in the world:

Nope you can't do that. However, once you get the hang of the one-pedal drive, the ride is gonna be as smooth as butter.

Yeah I would rather wait for the acceleration boost package and pocket the remaining RM8k from the balance of the EAP purchase

Well, there are reports saying that FSD testing on public roads is already underway in Japan a few days ago. Furthermore, Tesla seems to already have plans to bring FSD to a country just beside us, Thailand. If Tesla manage to get the green light in Thailand, I don't see why FSD couldn't come to Malaysia. Fingers crossed.

I'd prefer to be on the safer side because a Tesla's roof is full of glasses. If a car doesn't have a glass roof then you should drive down the premium by all means.

Definitely can't get at RM170k. Tesla Malaysia has already stated that their price will increase for a minimum of RM20k after the tax holiday which means that the selling price for the cheapest Model 3 variant should not be lower than RM189k

edit: sorry didn't realize that you were talking about the US-only tin kosong variant because I don't think it will make its way to Malaysia lol

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 you're staying overnight in Ipoh then no problem at all because the car will always be 100% charged by the time you're ready to head back to KL and you'll reach KL with around 40% SOC remaining with the speed of around 150 km/h. Come next weekend during the journey back to Ipoh you can always charge at any DC chargers ALONG the way for like 15-20 minutes and you're good to go
