But I think you need to call, since it does not come up on the booking page.

thanks.. just had a look.
seems not too intuitive. like you set a date and range and they list out those cars available. cannot find a Tesla in that list nor can you specifically book a car of your preference.

maybe can try calling them and see.

Yes, need to drive M3 Highland like a sports car. Go chill mode on bumps, and if you're fully loaded safer to just S turn it  laugh.gif

crossing speed bumps with high speed? #ripundercarriage

Model 3 only have 5.5in ground clearance, if loaded will be easily less than 5in. then how is suppose to close the bumps that is easily 6 to 8 inches high, considering the wheelbase is 2970mm. for short wheelase, its still possible. but at this wheelbase, its time to scratch. it is safe to say that "minor" scratch on the under carriage is ok ? i.e. the battery pack is protected ? will S model clear the bump with such long wheelbase ?

going to Model Y will be more practical for malaysia road, but there is no news of "refresh" model with all the improvement like the Highland model 3.

Need to go very very slow... ala driving Ferrari/Lamborghini laugh.gif

Wheelbase I think is 2850mm? 2970mm should be BYD Seal. I have some "minor" scratches for sure... but really is to try to avoid contact at all la.

No news of Juniper yet, high chance only coming year end 2024 or maybe in 2025. If Juniper available now, pretty sure I'll just buy Juniper instead of Highland.

Personally i think Tesla set exclusive to their vehicle are fair and square.
They are the only brand that building EV station everywhere

You dont see Merc, BMW, BYD, or other brands building their own station.

But from the NACS charging standard, we can see this in the near future la. Give it some time.

Tesla signed up with several local property developers for Supercharger implementation.
I think this is Gamuda Land initiative to boost their popularity of Gamuda Cove.

Not only Tesla, Gamuda Land also signed MOU with Electron to build EV charging stations in various location.

Supercharges stations are linked with Property Developer marketing strategy to bring crowd to their township.

I guess that Prai, Penang that one are refer to Sunway Carnival Mall, under Sunway Group?

This the best supercharger station in Malaysia :

1 - Right in the middle of Penang - JB route
Perfect One charging/rest stop for this route

2- just beside Elite highway ,not in the R&R
Both northbound + southbound driver can use this charging station

3- Starbuck+ some restaurant
Good for paperwork, Meetup,zoom meeting while charging

4- consider near klia airport , can charge here and wait for flight arrival

Our company use ev as workhorse car
When we come back from desaru,
We arrive melaka supercharger, with 20%++ battery

Next month ,we will have southern site visit trip again
We will try desaru --> gamuda cove supercharger
I think battery will less than 10% when arrival
We can do it confidently
Because Tesla charger always work


Soon Tesla supercharger will open to all ev brand, like in the USA and EU

I think this gamuda cove ev charging station will be the fav charging spot for all ev driver

That's why Tesla still will be the Ev market leader
Only Tesla willing to invest in EV charging network

And the game changer is the destination charger
This is the win win win for Tesla - Tesla EV driver - business owner

Most people get the wrong concept of EV charging
They always compare ev charging with petrol filling

Actually Ev are designed to charge while parking
That's why charger in parking place are more important

Like home charging,work place charger,office area, shopping mall, cafe, Cinema, grocery store , government office , fnb area & etc
