Hi, saw few Tesla cars on the road lately and look kinda nice. I was thinking to get BMW 320i, but now after looking Tesla M3 on the road, and after reading and watching reviews about the car, find it very interesting. However I read somewhere, saying that by taking the 19" wheels will sacrifice the car distance range, is it significant? And the 18" wheels, the black there is plastic cover or its actually aluminum cover?

QUOTE(celciuz @ Jan 10 2024, 01:14 PM) Plastic cover wheel cover, so called aero covers. 19" tire replacement 4 pcs is RM5414.72 from Tesla Malaysia btw... I actually asked to upgrade to 19", but my friend insisted for me to maintain 18" for the long term... hence did not upgrade. fuh the 19" tyre price walaaaauuuuu.....  for 18" u know how much? but tyre since its wear and tear product, can jz change it outside and wont void warranty kan... 19" tyre outside if continental cc6 I think around rm700/piece. so 4*700=2800. tesla charge double the price. i know its not apple to apple comparison, but should be too far off the price.

Hi guys, may I know the interest rate that u able to get ? I read in maybank they offering 1.98% interest rate for Tesla? But not sure how true or whether still valid. Can share your experience?
And another question, Im reading about the roadtax post 2025 when gov start to impose. For tesla, how much would it cost? Is it gonna be around rm3k++ alone for the roadtax?

so i went to test drive BYD Seal yesterday, and damn son I was impressed. The build quality is so much better than Tesla IMHO.
The story was last 2 weeks I went to test drive Tesla M3, and wanted to book the long range version (coz planning to change to EV), but too busy with work and kept postponing. And now suddenly with Seal price announced, wow, i can save like rm40k (from LR Tesla M3 to Premium BYD Seal). So I tested the car, and impressed with it. Of coz got pros and cons for both BYD Seal and Tesla M3, but given RM40K saving from my purchase, and with the price war between these 2, I think better I jz saved RM40K and get BYD.

QUOTE(imkevin2022 @ Feb 27 2024, 12:15 AM) BYD didn’t impress me. Tesla is the only direct car manufacturer that you can reach. Much more reliable and good track records. No one pedal driving. Anyway, you don’t actually save RM40,000. Most probably you save only RM4,000 cash. It is not a good idea to save this small money to avoid the huge benefits. i do save RM40k from choosing BYD Seal premium (rm180k) vs Tesla M3 long range at (rm220k). This 2 should be fight in the same category, as the Seal Performance will fight with the incoming Tesla performance model soon which i bet will be at least rm250k range.

QUOTE(imkevin2022 @ Feb 27 2024, 11:10 AM) The RM40,000 is not save in cash. So it doesn’t matter. Unless you are saying you buy with cash. Then yes. I don't understand your logic. even its a financing, u still save rm40k as the loan amount wont be as high.

QUOTE(imkevin2022 @ Feb 27 2024, 02:44 PM) Is okay, financing is a nasty topic and not many people can understand it. Another terms can help you to understand about the cash flow. By the way, have you book the BYD? When they will deliver it? so u saying i don't understand about financing and cash flow? lol that's the issue with u, very ignorant and thinking that u are the only person who knows everything. why u wanna complicate a small simple fact that the price of 2 different cars, say car A is rm100k and Car B is rm80k, and if the fact that u chose car B, doesn't matter u use cash or financing, u already saved rm20k upfront. Why do you wanna spin here and there?

QUOTE(imkevin2022 @ Feb 27 2024, 04:17 PM) Very good and comfortable car. What it got to do with the argument that you made ? Come on, explain how buying rm180k car than rm220k wont save rm40k and only save rm4k as u claimed since you very smart.
