Tesla selling Model 3 (Highlander - New Model) for RM189K in MY but for SG, they are still selling to us the old Model 3. Like clearing stock somemore at higher price than MY. Who wants to buy those old stock when highlander are already out. Furthermore highlander more swee.

Fitmugen 5th Gear September 26, 2023 Share September 26, 2023 @Felizawessex I owned a Citroen e-berlingo before. Would not recommend because no keyless entry. The plastic smell is also very strong even after 6 months of usage. BYD T3 has better battery warranty I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited September 26, 2023 by Kennethoka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla in MY will probably have some additional incentives on the company side that allows them to price lower than others, though, since it was the M'sian govt who went to court/encourage them to set up their regional HQ there.

Datsun366 Turbocharged September 27, 2023 Share September 27, 2023 From a practical Malaysian perspective, 1. The entire purpose of obtaining a car is utilitarian with minimum fuss. 2. Its to improve the quality of life. 3. Most Malaysians live on landed property, hence theoritically should be receptive to EV adoption re charging. ××××××××××××××××××××××××××× The need for persuasion response is due to range anxiety, assessment that new technology is unreliable/immature, the budget mechanic unable to manage. And generally increase extra problems in usage. Which defeats the purpose of owning a car. These are the dark ages of ev we are at. Imagine when there were no gas stations with easy mechanic access back in the day of horses. Grass/fuel everywhere. From green energy to increased pollution? Combustion engines were for the rich and/or the zany. That is earthy Malaysian logic. How long before the Model T Ford became popular, what infrastructure and consumer thinking was required? Its correct to hesitate, even in WW2 the Germans were still using horse drawn transport. And the Japanese bicycles in their endeavor to achieve world domination. Its all about the politics of energy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodooman Supersonic September 27, 2023 Share September 27, 2023 From semicon chips to EV, it is really about simi “national” interest and money lah. Free trade is pretty dead when it no longer serves one's interest. With 25% tariff on China EV imports in US and 10% in Europe, likely to be revised upwards post EU investigation, China domination of global EV market can only get tougher. Will we hear more and more about subsidies, unfair competition and unclean and unsustainable mining/ refining of EV materials and stolen technology (lesser extent for EV)) till the US catches up? Or when hydrogen becomes competitive enough to leapfrog EV technology? Small inefficient ICE vs hyper efficient power plants, it is a no brainer. Issue is always infrastructure, which is not insurmountable. Already proven in Norway, China and many European countries. This is never about the saving planet earth but protecting industries and jobs in big auto markets like EU, US and China. Why noone talks about taxing cattle farming which is not prevalent in developing countries but produces so much methane? Good read.
