Malaysians very frequently do long trips on highways cross state. Not for fun but for work and family. So they are very cautious on range-challenged EVs with limited/long charging required.

Also note that their petrol is cheap with subsidies and cars (even taxed ICE cars) are very affordable. Most ppl don't see the need to take risk on EV now.

Not just petrol over there is cheap, but the electricity from public charging over in Malaysia can be quite expensive for the ringgit charged per kWh or by the minute. EVs over there are purchased as a 2nd car for the more well to do Malaysian families, for driving within KL etc. To do inter-state runs, they will drive the other ICE car.

But they will get new Highlander version and Singapore is like clearing old stock

Abit of backdated news, but my friend booked the car in September and Tesla already told them no more old stock. He was just told to cancel and reorder the highland last week and it was actually 17k cheaper on the car price. Apparently the PARF is still $9k so SG is one of the rare markets that have a price drop for the highland.

Actually what I comparing is purely the car price exclude ARF, incentive and COE for Singapore and exclude incentive for Malaysia  and all price converted to US dollar.

 

SG : SGD$79,550 = USD$58,189

MY: MYR$189,000 = USD$40,298

For Singapore price is higher and get the older model

 

Tesla in MY is cost around BYD Atto 3 and much cheaper than Hyundai Ioniq 5

Don't forget the custom duty of 20% on OMV for Singapore. 

Highland vehicle price starts from $68,900 including custom duty.

Think a lot of people & media outlets either don't realize this or just gloss over it. When you read a story about car prices you always hear them say "COE so high!!" but no mention that even if COE was $0, we still get shafted with 130%-300++% of various taxes via Customs Duty, GST, ARF.

Oh yes, because the local way of selling is a total package price and no breakdowns of vehicle pricing, etc. Tesla's probably the only company that shows pricing from bottom up in a transparent way, but not everyone knows all the various fees and taxes to make a well-informed comparison. In a way, you don't know what you don't know until someone tells you.
