I have bought the Tesla 3-pin plug charger (RM1,500 one) and have been using it on normal plug occasionally for the past year when I travel back hometown. The charging is automatically restricted to maximum of 10A, and you can always reduce it to lower amp if deemed necessary.

A few important things to take note when using a regular 13A socket :
- Do not share the socket / use extension
- Best if the socket is 1-to-1 line to the DB box (not shared line with other sockets)
- Monitor the temperature of the socket, plug, and cable. If it’s warm, try to reduce the ampere to 5A~7A.
- Take note of your whole unit total available Amp and run some simple calculations on the total usage. For example, if you are on single phase and multiple air conditionings are running in the night, reduce the charging ampere to lower or stop charging during peak usage hours.

Any recommended window tint shop for Tesla?
I got many quotations from MYR 500 to MYR 3000 for full car tinting but … which is better?

Better is subjective.. see what is your expectations and budget.
I went with 3M at cheras mahkota

3M are widely acceptable with its quality.
There is ktard doing 3M affiliate with promo code, crystalline @ RM2600 without sunroof, Ceramic series @ RM2200.

Cheaper budget solution can go for 7autospa this coming 1212 sales RM1212 for tint+PPF

yeah, i dont want tie to an errand in weekly basis..
ipoh have landed, no worry for charging.
kl have condo, need to find charger.

if only 1 way trip dont have any concern

i doing Ipoh-KL-Ipoh in weekly basis bro

my kind of spirited drive is always keeping at right lane, always ensure the lane is not blocked by lane hogger, speed 140-160.
One way drive is more than enough, but not for round trip

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

Got my M3 LR RWD for close to 14 days now with about 700km mileage (3 days in tint and ppf workshop), sharing my experience so that you can make a better informed decision.

I have not installed a wall charger yet cos still awaiting quotation on solar and possible conversion to 3 phase electricity. So ive been relying on external ev charger like ChargEv that is nearby my house about 2km drive. This ChargEv has max 60 kwh for 2 bays, and ive been charging at odd hours, thus could capitalise on the max 60kw rate. Averagely, 30% to 80% (NMC battery of LR RWD is supposed to charge till max of 80% for daily use and only 100% when going for trips) will take about 50minutes. I find the 50minutes wait totally acceptable. Can easily hang out at mamak to pass that 50 minutes or watch netflix in your car while charging, 1 kdrama episode. Im getting used to the 50 minutes wait now and i find it okay, not as bad as i initially thought. My only complaint is the high cost of the 60kw charger, which costs rm1.30/kwh, so 30% to 80% will cost about rm60. I believe we can reduce the charging cost to half if we can charge at home.

On the max range of M3 LR RWD though, not a good news for you. At 80%, my screen is showing only 500km. So if im to extrapolate, 100% will give only 625km, far off from the claimed range of 750km by tesla. Taking into consideration that i have only driven for 700km, and only charged twice, im hoping my max range may not be the most accurate yet due to heavy right footing and adaptation to EV vehicle. I have asked chatgpt, and it seems that this max 625km is the correct real world range for the new LR RWD. Any other users of M3 LR RWD can share their max range?

All in all though, still happy with the buy. I always think that i have got this car for the price of a new CRV in Malaysia. Honda CRV or a Tesla, my answer is obvious. I have to declare though that this is my secondary car, alza is still my main family car, thus i have a lil more room for fun factor. And boy, this tesla M3 is a really fun car to me.

Good luck buddy. Better decide fast, 31 Dec is coming!
