Last Friday placed order for RWD, this Tuesday submitted LOU to Tesla and DA replied me to patiently waiting for VIN number assignment. Anyone has any idea roughly how long it'll take to get VIN number assigned?

And in the meantime, should I proceed to sign loan agreement without VIN number (or are we able to at all)? About the insurance, just gotten quotation, when is the good time for me to make payment for the insurance? Sorry if question is noob, first timer need some advices.
*
hmm… I got my VIN assigned few days after receiving bank LOU, I placed the model 3 rwd order two weeks ago.

Do you think Tesla will adjust the price down soon ? Both usd and rmb have been depreciated against myr for more than 5%

0% interest give you around 15K discount, the model 3 RWD price is actually now at 166,000.

if you plan to buy with cash, you can even save more by placing extra cash into US foreign fixed deposit.

You get savings on loan interests not the car price… your calculation is incorrect. The car price is the same, starts from RM181,000, with or without 0%. With 0% promo, the total amount you paid (DP + Loan Amount) is exactly the car price. Without 0% promo the total amount would be more than the car price (DP + Loan Amount + Interests).
*
car price is 181,000, this is correct, but what I said is I actually pay lesser than it, because i plan to pay cash, but now i put cash in U.S FD. the interest offset the actual amount I paid.

Means nothing. Its better for them to just drop rrp prices like in Australia (we usually follow Australia pricing since the start of tesla here)

something or nothing, let the sales figure in September justify it.

I see. Not too bad also. But can make more worth of my money if 10% dp with 9 year loan since 0% interest.
*
Tesla only receive 126,090 when you apply RM142,000 5 years car load, why? the missing 16k is the interest that bank need to take profit.

imaging Tesla give 9 years loan with 10% down payment, how much Tesla need to give back to bank?

16K is the discount for model 3 RWD, that is what you can save.

Going to pick up my tesla tomorrow, but I wont floor it because I'm not familiar with the car, also driving high speed use more energy, need to charge often, not a good idea for battery life.

hi all, I have just received my VIN as well, M3 SR. Just wondering, what is the typical time frame from VIN allocation to delivery? is it 2-3 weeks?

Also, quoted 10k sum assured for windscreen from Etiqa, is that a reasonable amount? Thanks!
*
my experience for tesla model 3 RWD white default spec, from the order date until delivery date took 35 days. I got VIN 7 days after placing order, but it took almost a month to deliver.

QUOTE(Prometric @ Sep 6 2024, 05:10 PM)
Overall it was smooth. I arrived 40 mins ahead of my scheduled, but they allowed me to check in early, which was nice. After a 5mins or so quick briefing we were shown to our cars.

If i would have to point 1 feedback, it would be that they didnt allocate enough DA/Staff to guide us through the car's features. There were around 6-7 new owners that day buy only 3 available staff, one of whom was a newcomer. Thankfully, i had done my own research and was already quite familiar with the car's operation, so I only had a few quick questions before i was on my way. Car was flawless btw.

Saw a few ultra red performance, it was glorious. Look even better under the sun. The black and quicksilver is not what i expected though. If i had to rank the colors from best to worst.
1. Ultra Red
2. White & Blue
3. Black & Quicksilver
*
I collected my car on Wed, no briefing, just wait for 15 mins and straight away go to see and inspect my car, just help me to register my phone key, then I drove it back.

I have 2 questions on the Tesla App

1. Why I'm not seeing the upgrade option for EAP / FSD in the Tesla app? I'm only seeing the premium connectivity subscription option, but not seeing EAP / FSD at all.

2. Why am I not able to use the Trip Planner for navigation in the app's "Location"? Once I clicked on destination, it shows error "This feature is not available in this region."

Any sifus has any ideas on the above?

I believe malaysia government does not approve any L3 or above autopilot such as EAP and FSD.

Tesla's FSD is still classified as L2...
I understand FSD is not yet legal here. I believe EAP is legal to use however.

Just wondering why isn't the subscription options available in the app, but you can actually purchase them during initial car ordering at the website.
Guess we have to wait until the day they release it as an subscription option in M'sia.

Don’t confuse FSD with autopilot, Tesla Full Self Driving is at least L4 with latest version, and they are heading to L5 with Robotaxi.

Not confused. FSD has never reach L3, although it works like L3/4 with the current version but it’s not yet. Do a simple google search.

if you have seen latest FSD 12.5.3 version released last month, you wouldn't say it is level 2. it is at least level 3 and probably level 4 already, many testers already using it from one place to another place without actual driving it.

Tesla end to end vision only FSD is rapidly evolving after their massive AI data center is in production. your cited info is outdated.

There is some fake news going around claiming that EV can be hacked into and turned into a bomb. Something to do with pagers exploding apparently.

Please take note that Tesla invest a lot in cybersecurity to ensure the system is secured. They also have a bug bounty program which rewards people who find vulnerabilities.

So if there is any bugs I'm sure they will patch it up fairly quickly.

any device connected to internet can be hacked, it is just a matter of time and difficulty level, no need to worry Tesla vehicle is hacked and get exploded, because it requires a lot of efforts and hacker don't really get rewards, they rather hack the device that have high values as rewards.

Ok that makes sense but that means that China's CLTC which claims to be using the benchmark for city driving is even more ridiculous (I heard some reviewers say that China's CLTC/NEDC were meant for China city driving conditions).

Tesla is also cheating customers by using the higher WLTP range which is unattainable in their promo materials. Nowadays cannot trust any companies.
*
for people who

drive less than 100 km a day
has charger at home
travel long distance (>200km) occasionally (once in few months)

totally no need to worry about WLTP, EPA at all. mileage anxiety virtually non existence.

Finally pulled the trigger on M3 LR after a lengthy consideration. biggrin.gif

Would like to ask few more questions here.

- Have gotten the VIN but not the motor number. How long is the waiting period between VIN and motor number assignment?
- Anyone has gotten the metallic sputtered tint like Vkool and IRIS pro? Does it impact GPS/ mobile signal?
- What are the tested and must have accessories?
- Charging practice for LR to reduce battery degradation. 80% is the recommended daily limit for LR, but some well-known youtubers mentioned even lower limit like 70% or even 60% if only doing frequent short trips daily. Would like to hear the opinion from actual owners blink.gif
*
metallic tint definitely will degrade gps and mobile signal strength, also you will not be able to use SmartTag

if you have home charger, charge it when below 50% and stop charging at 80% if you want your battery survive more than 10 years.

I noticed some free chargers require you to bring own cable.
But which ones on shopee/lzd is good?
Also, is our tesla charging at 16A? So get those 11kw 16a is good enough?
*
Tesla model 3 and Y only support 11kw AC charging.

3 phase 16A or Single phase 32 A is 11kw

If the car "detected" there's obstacle in front, it would gave warning beeps.

If sudden slow down, like my case, it was due to the speed limit while going under the overhead pass. The speed limit was a hard impose, meaning you can only go 10km/h max over the limit.

The LDP one, I think it was reduced to 50 km/h, or even certain stretch.
*
not a hard limit, my model 3 cornering at 70km/h on 50km/h limit

If you look in the manual, it says COP is just for user comfort. Not for the taking care of the car.

too high cabin temp will degrade the car interior, so i use cabin protection with fan only, wont significantly drain the battery

Up to you, this is what is stated in owner's manual.

"Cabin Overheat Protection prevents the cabin from getting too hot in scorching ambient conditions. While not necessary to activate whenever you leave Model 3, the climate control system can reduce and maintain the temperature of your vehicle’s cabin. This can prevent the cabin from getting too hot after leaving it parked in the sun, making the vehicle more comfortable when you return. Cabin Overheat Protection may take up to 15 minutes to enable once you exit the vehicle. This feature is intended for passenger comfort and has no impact on the reliability of your vehicle's components."

the manual is correct, reliability is not impact, but car interior such as fabric, dashboard will get degraded.
