UPDATE: The Tesla Model 3 Highland is now officially open for order in Malaysia officially from Tesla Malaysia from RM189k.
Much of the attention at Vision Motorsports’ showroom last week was undoubtedly on the Polestar 2, but the company also had a couple of other display examples worth mentioning about, in this case a pair of Tesla Model 3s.
Unlike the Polestar, these can be sold, and they have already been accounted for. The two right-hand drive units, a Standard Range and Long Range, are new units that have been shipped in from the UK, and it would seem that the lack of direct support hasn’t deterred buyers from snapping up the cars.
They’re not one-offs, because Vision says that those interested in getting a Model 3 can do so through the company, and the wait time for one is about eight weeks. In terms of pricing, the Standard retails for RM390k, while the Long Range goes for around RM450k. The company adds that the Long Range Performance variant can be brought in, depending on demand.
To recap, the Standard Range Model 3 has a single-motor powertrain driving the rear wheels. Outputs are 283 hp (211 kW) and 450 Nm, good enough to get the car from standstill to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 209 km/h. It’s equipped with a 50 kWh battery, which is capable of giving the car an operating range of 354 km (EPA), or 381 km on a WLTP cycle.
The Long Range, meanwhile, has a dual-motor system and all-wheel drive (there is no more rear-wheel drive option for the LR), with 346 hp (258 kW) and 510 Nm for output numbers. As its moniker suggests, the version gets a uprated 75 kWh battery, which increases operating range to 568 km (EPA), or 580 km on a WLTP cycle. Performance numbers for the AWD include a 0-100 km/h time of 4.4 seconds and a 233 km/h top speed.
Kit includes a centrally-mounted, landscape-oriented 15-inch touchscreen in a cleanly presented interior, a keyless NFC keycard (you can also use your smartphone as a key) and 18-inch Aero design wheels. Under all that skin, a tech array that includes eight cameras, 160 metre long-range forward radar and 12 ultrasonic sensors help provide advanced levels of driver assistance.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Nice.
The dugong is finally here…the closest look ever to the cute dugong…the dugong owners must be happy…
More like ikan dolphin…but costs how much $$ to replace the bateri?
price of battery is out of the world~
This one looks better than jar jar bink by miles.
Why buy this if X50 is so good so superior so premium
Expensive gas
Imported EVs only subjected to 30% excise duty right? Why still so expensive?? Isn’t this supposed to compete with the C-class, 3 series or S60?
Bro, brand new unit grey import Tesla from UK pricing includes compounded taxes etc:
import tax 30%
excise duty 20%
SST 10%
agent handling fee XX,XXX
AP Y,YYY
shipping cost Z,ZZZ
grey importer profit margin ???
+ shipping back & forth to UK for warranty claim ???
So cannot compare the prices at the officially sold Tesla countries kot
Rather jz top up abit.. and get Porsche Taycan Turbo then.
There’s still plenty of taxes above that.
Without US gomen subsidy to distort, this pricing reflects the actual cost to own.
Ya gila over price.. want to earn margin also agar agar la.
Look how much it’s just cost in China, keep price down in every few months to RMB240k.
Prices not to much differed from luxury German marques and servicing can be done in Singapore where Tesla has official presence but the interior screams cheap quality. Can’t blame the car since it was designed to be the most affordable range but still it doesn’t have to look like its built CHEAP….
OMG…such horrible looking dashboard and gargantuan touch screen.Is the touch screen for computer games at traffic jams?
With that kind of price range,I m sure Malaysians will do due diligence before splashing their covid bashed earnings on such exotic cars.
How does it look cheap? It’s fairly premium . Not the most premium but it’s nice. (Also look at the updated model which is even nicer)
Bland and plastic looking dashboard, boring steering wheel even more boring than Honda City ones, and that huge computer monitor with cheap bezels and clearly seen from the pictures what a magnet for fingerprints collector enthusiasts.
Obviously you’ve never set foot in a Tesla
Ridiculous price
Ridiculous comment
Pls Bringing in TATA Nexon EV . i hope price I’ll be around 100k so its an everyone affordable EV for everyday use
I’m seeing endless headache to own a Tesla in our country, for time being. Any warranty issues (which is common QC problem for all Tesla owners in their 1st year) you either need to fly a technician from SG to MY or drive your car to SG, and fork out the daily SGD35/day VEP fee, if your car need to be rectified/serviced longer than few days. if your car have battery/powertrain issues, you then need to tow the car all the way to SG. Or simply stuck with a lemon Tesla and pretend that you are happy with it.
factory car ady got rear lamp leak. what a joke
Lol worse that Proton quality. Tesla lives up to their reputation
Why laa.. cars in Malaysia price f……. expensive kidney price…
Tesla; car with nice to look and sleek exterior design, technological marvel underneath the metal sheet but with poor/lazy and old skool interior design. This is what happened when a motor designer design a vehicle. Whereas Taycan is a car designer that design a car with EV technology.
Outer design from USA,
Price from Germany,
Interior from Malaysia.
Better buy BM or Merc.
Fuh…mahal gila.
400k for a car with Interior that is worse than perodua bezza and on par with naza sutera
Saw the performance variant two days in a row around the Pandan Perdana and Taman Segar area, what a standout.
where to service?..perodua service center?
mabuk ketum ke bang?
Since when electric car kena service?
Are you talking about maintenance ie. brake pads, air cond, tyre, sticker, mudflaps, tinted, carbon fiber vinyl, spoiler (GT wing type)?
Maintenence at my home
Very impressive tech. Can’t afford to own one though, for now at least.
People who are complaining about the price obviously has no clue about pricing strategy and the target market of tesla. They are pricing it like that because they can, and people are still buying them by the droves. Tesla doesn’t give a damn whether we want it or not, our government has to play its part in promoting EVs. Our market is still more suited for the X50s.
Any chance of PT reviewing it?
450k for a tesla lolzz
i rather buy merc AMG A45S ..lel
Covid19 how?
Finally !!! TEsla in Malaysia !! Elon you rock
With oil price so cheap now, and this electric alternative so expensive, mother earth can wait.
So when something wrong with your tesla in Malaysia, just park there and say goodbye because no tesla service here. Hahahaha. I rather get a bmw 530i at that price instead of this shit box with motor. Look at that cheap plastic interior. Just stick an Ipad pro 12.9 will do. Tesla is cheaper than bmw 3 series in USA hence it outsold it. At this price. Dream on.
finally can see fat guy sleeping while driving at highway plus
