Hi, would like to ask a few questions regarding Tesla M. Y 2025, as I am considering purchasing 1 but this will be my first car purchase.

1. What is the cheapest insurance for Model Y after 55% NCD?

2. How to transfer current car NCD to a new one?

3. How to purchase a number plate and put it to the car aside from just getting a random one? Assuming I have the money to bid for 1.

4. Is it good enough if I stay in a Condo that charges RM0.9/kWh for a 22kWh charger? I checked ChatGPT they say model Y for other usual charger only accept up to 11kWh only anyway. nto too sure if this is true.

since this is your first car, where your ncd come from? :X

Hi sorry, to provide more context, I am driving a 18+ year old car from a hand-me-down from my parents. So was thinking to dispose off that car and purchase this car, so technically still my first car purchase hence I am totally not sure about any of the car purchase procedure.

Somemore, the tesla purchase experience is not your usual route of purchasing lagi. hence I was even more paranoid to make this move sweat.gif

1. Shop around and compare, won’t differ much. Most important is compare the add-ons and sum insured.
2. Call current car insurance to withdraw. Person insured must be same. If your previous car not your name then no NCD.
3. Bid yourself on jpjebid website. Google yourself for instructions. Number can keep for 1 year.
4. 11kW is max Tesla Model Y can take on AC.  RM0.90/kWh is not a bad price. It doesn’t matter if your charger provides 22kW or 11kW, you will get the lowest power along the chain. It also doesn’t matter because you pay based on energy (kWh) received. Lower kW, takes longer to get the same kWh.

If you don’t have a referral link, consider using mine, I’ll get RM500 Tesla credit. PM me for it. I can answer your questions on the ownership experience via PM.

aiyo die la, just got notified car B is under my name, the current car im driving car A is not under my name, and im planning to dispose car A instead.

is there any way to swap car A and car B (both same insurer) insurance for name changing, so i can dispose car A and potentially transfer car A insurance to tesla?

thank you all but please bear with my question as this is my first time rclxub.gif

Edit: dont know why i didn't quote @anakkk

Unless the previous car is under your name, you cannot transfer the Car A insurance to Car B. For insurance try get a quote from Liberty, base on my research last year they are the cheapest.

and use my referral, i will share half with you laugh.gif

thank you, i was under the assumption (i used chatgpt also la lol) that etika is the "best"

1. Car B - transfer the ownership to your family member but have to go thru puspakom process hassle.

Or

2. Car A - Sell Car A, then use the same owner's name to purchase the Tesla.

[/quote]

seems like its the no.1 option, just to save on some dollars. but have to go through the hassle.

Just transfer the car B NCD to new tesla and start fresh 0 NCD for car B. I did that for my old accord which I passed to my kid. As long the insured value for car B is much lower than tesla u will have lots of insurance saving

[/quote]

yes, after seeing the comments here seems like that will be the case, either buy new for the car b or go through hassle transfer b to new T then A > B before selling A.



Final question, not sure if this gets the visibility as i did not put in post #1,

1. Is it stupid to not opt for White colour (assuming I want to go for white colour), and get the paint job done outside?

2. Which protection is best for the car? Again please bear with my stupidness haha as this is my first, I was under the assumption PPF is good but nowadays more and more comments i read from XHS shows that PPF is not that good after all. what other options do I have? Many people commented that the side (near tyre) will get scratched easily especially the back part due to the stones/pebbles "scratching" them


Edit: sorry im not good in these quoting obviously, the quoting also failed haha.

Hi all, just to update i have bite the bullet and make it to proforma invoice part.

now i have further question on this Model Y:

1. which tint option is the best?

2. do i need to do PPF? or no need? If no need, what are the other options available?

3. what are the usual "accessories" you guys get that is really useful for the car?

4. do we really need to subscribe the RM40/month internet thingy, the SA in Pavi/Cyber keeps saying it is needed for OTA update?

5. back to financing and insurance, getting loan with whichever bank dont really matter if im going for etika insurance right? (i am probably going for etika since most people recommending that)

hello fellow sifus, I am stuck at proforma invoice part ever since booking.

I got a call from an agent from Pavi last saturday right after booking he told me to click until the choosing bank option and told me there will be calls coming in from bank to ask for further action (today).

However, I have yet to get a call, just wondering if its normal to wait a few days. I have also checked with the agent and they told me so long as in my Tesla app there's a Proforma Invoice (inside show VSO), then the details will flow to the bank to contact me?

Please help me if i miss out any action

You mean you're waiting for the bank to call you for the loan offer? For my case i look for my own banker

QUOTE(kelvinlym @ Jul 28 2025, 03:17 PM)
It's better to call your banker yourself. Get a few quotes and compare.

oh wow, because im going for the HLB/PBB offer of the lower interest rate, and have to die die go for either HLB/PBB, then the agent tell me banker will call me instead of me going to look around.

is this not what it is? i should still go to HLB/PBB myself?

Hi, i have gotten a new quotation based on a "much" lower Sum Insured

Instead of following my Car Value at 100% (original quotation), i have decided to lower it to the max to just 180k to drive down the premium.

This is as below screenshot:

Thinking hard if i should drive down the Windscreen to 6k instead of 8k, it will save me about rm300, and I have seen a lot of post about people fixing the windscreen only using 6k +/- (that is the front, not the top glass, top glass need about 8k)

What do you guys think?

You may refer mine which i PM you for the windscreen amount. The roof is not cheap, but i decided to put PPF for my sunroof, for protection + heat blocking.
I can recommend you the tint shop if you want to consider.
