Tesla front camera is on the windscreen instead of bumper. For some reason they dont use it for surround view, it doesn't show up when you press the camera button on steering

How's the one pedal driving to you? For me that's the thing that require some getting used to
*
actually one concern is.. IF we get used to the one-pedal, then hard to adjust to different car. like some of us interchange btw our spouse's car etc.
later forgot to tekan brake to slow down.

Long range is really tempting for the range, power and audio system

But the only thing holding me back (other than budget) is the NMC battery. LFP battery is just better in every aspect when it comes to longevity, especially if u plan to keep the car for long
*
Which battery for which variant bro?

Nvm. got the answer.

So LFP (SR variant) - slower charging but longer lifespan.

Check and see if the connector is type 2 or CCS2, then youre good.
Look at CPO app/website or plugshare.com for more info.

And if they are not? I read somewhere that we can use an adapter.

Hi
For current owners.
With the one pedal system, how is the experience during traffic jam. You know when you wana go front skit2 don’t want people to cut in those kinda scenarios.
Or can just use brake pedal like normal

A bit of getting used to, but after day 1, have not touched my brakes at all.

Normal jam with creeping traffic is okay, but if you stuck behind someone who likes to accelerate and jam brake then you'll find folks cutting in.
*
But we can still step on the accelerator and tekan brake skit skit like normal right?

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.

Taboo topic.
For you current owners ya, what's your take on the battery replacement strategy ya?
Tesla claims that its EVs batteries can last between 300,000 to 500,000 miles.. which translate to 500,000 to 800,000 km by our standards.

For me none of my car ever exceed 150,000 km before i change car(s).

But wondering what is the general opinion here?
yeah yeah, i also read that the battery tech. will probably improved in the coming years, like them getting cheaper or just replace/refurbished part of the battery instead of a 1-1 replacement.

So just use it and worry later or be prepare to fork out 50-60k MYR to replace it eventually when it died a decade or so later..

Good question.
Actually been asked this almost every day by neighbors, customer, supplier & etc
Whenever they saw i driving ev

My answer is simple :
Enjoy now, think later la
Life is too short
Tesla  cover 8 years/ 160k km warranty for battery
May be I cant last longer than 8 years pun...heheh

We treat it like business expenses,since we use it as workhorse
Most probably just trade in to Tesla Malaysia
Buy another new Tesla then
If still have tax advantage la

We consider 1 of the cheapest country to buy model 3 now.
And with solar powered or Tesla destination charger also save few thousand RM electric per year alr lo

If you really keep your Tesla beyond 8 years / 160k km, and touch wood have to change battery,then
the electric/fuel saving along 8 years
Consider net net lo

So,
Don't think too much ,just enjoy now la
From the beginning we alr saving huge chunk of tax /AP fees alr lo
*
Agreed to most of what you said. Nobody will know what will happen in 8 years time. Also a big plus of owning a EV is we get to save the world. JK
Tesla cover 8 years/ 160k km warranty for battery -> This is which ever comes first right?
