Just curious since today is kinda sunny day, did you get to try the ventilated seats?
I heard that on a hot day its fan is good enough to cool you down.

Test drove the Model 3 SR in Cyber yesterday.

Coming off petrol engines with nil prior driving experience or expectations with EV's, its a pleasant surprise.

Cars heavy but feels planted, the acceleration in the SR to me personally is more than enough for urban driving.
Still able to tapau most daily drive cars with ease.

The missing signal stalk - got used to it in a couple of minutes, and by the end of the drive, did not need to look down to get the signals or wipers turned on.
Auto pilot is scary, but as long as paying attention, the car did well, even with the roads being wet and faded lane and shoulder markers on the road.
Regen was - interesting, and I get how people say you can go on and on without touching the brakes ever!

The silence in the cabin is impressive. The double paned glass makes a world of difference.
Turning radius, body roll, steering feel, all are good, and theres a confidence in throwing the car into corners.

The SR audio is decent enough - if not blasting music excessively loud. But then again, I'm no audiophile.

Caveat - having your own charger is a must. Would not consider this if relying on public charging infrastructure.

According to the TA who rode along with me, waiting period for deliveries is expected to change as more markets get this updated model from Jan onwards.
And interestingly claimed that the complimentary wallbox still has units available despite the promo ending on 31 October.
Wonder if anyone else can verify this?

The only thing I am having trouble wrapping my head around is getting away from the mindset of being able to repair mechanical issues.

Pretty much sold on the car, but only looking to book towards the end of Q1, and take delivery in Q2 2024.
Curious to see if the BYD Seal launches before that and at what price point.

Overall for the price point of the SR, comparing to any other car within a 200k budget, to me its a no brainer.
Personally have no need for the additional motor, enhanced audio and an NMC battery pack which cannot be regularly charged to a 100% for a difference of 29k.
Don't see any other ICE car being comparable in terms of value.

Haha, I expect it would be a pleasant surprise since you've already booked it.

I'm coming from an FC as well, and size wise i actually feel the 3 is a little bit smaller, but the way it cocoons around the occupants gives it a cozy feel vs a cramped one.

Ah, thats a bummer if the Seal is going to start at 225k, similar to the #1, its not even a comparison.

Intentionally avoided the LR, because i knew if i plonked myself in it, i might just fall for that!

Looking forward to hearing from you once you get your hands on your new ride.

Any idea when Model Y Juniper will announce...? M3 seat is too low for my liking.....

Initially I was hesitating between SR and LR but at the end pulled the trigger on LR after some deep thoughts.

The LR has a WLTP range of 678km using the 18-inch wheel and if we were to charge to 80% this thing still has a range of 542km which is similar to the SR at 100% of charge! Moreover, whenever there's a need for a long journey, we can always charge to 100% to get the maximum range, that's flexibility. Don't forget that the LR also has a higher charging speed of 250kW than the SR.

In addition to the above, the 17-speaker setup, the 4.4s century sprint plus AWD pretty much made this choice a no-brainer at a mere RM29k. In comparison to Model Y, the price gap between the SR and LR is also much smaller for Model 3.

Now test drive still need appointment? can walk in?

Just went for my test drive today

Surprisingly the thing that take some getting used to is the one pedal driving instead of the signal indicators on steering

Actually during the test drive session never once I tried to reach for the stalk. Maybe because i already set in my mind that the indicators is on the steering

But the one pedal driving, took a while for me to get used to, keep stopping way earlier before the traffic light luckily cyberjaya traffic is not heavy

And another thing I just rmb, the speedo located on the screen... at first i thought it wasn't going to be an issue, but throughout my whole test drive session, I actually wasnt even aware what speed I was going at except a short run with the autopilot on. My eyes was so occupied on the road that I didn't thought of checking on the screen.
Perhaps a traditional instrument cluster or HUD would've helped?

Does Msian-delivered Highland models still come with USS, or deleted already?

But the scary part is Vision is not accurate in the first place. Especially the front as shown by many reviews, the distance estimate is just off. Not good for someone who relies too much on it (since you bought an exp car why not?) and not using their own eyes

More things to keep in mind when buying....
Now I understand why they say don't take delivery at end of quarter....

Looks like the next batch of shipment from Shanghai will be next year, which could also include the Model Y.

Was hoping for the last batch of the year to include for owners here but no luck, only for Japan & UK.

Will update if there is any new info.

Coudn't find any reliable source for the 18th December shipment you mentioned.
I missed the first M3 shipment to Malaysia, not able to catch the ship that brought it in.
Must be one ship that the Tesla Shipping group is not used to tracking.

Strangely the downpayment of RM15k was not applicable to me. I got both my VIN and motor number before paying anything to Tesla.

Tesla's build quality is known to be notoriously inconsistent.

And this is also not the first time this has happened, same case has happened in the US.

Buyer beware really.

Still looking forward to collect mine nonetheless.

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?

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.
