Tesla Model 3 ‘Highland’ facelift arriving in Malaysia this month, deliveries by end of 2023 – from RM189k

At the launch of Tesla Malaysia’s Cyberjaya headquarters today, it was revealed that the first units of the new Model 3 ‘Highland’ facelift will arrive in the country this month, with customer deliveries scheduled to happen by the end of 2023.

The refreshed Model 3 is the second Tesla model to be offered here after it was announced early last month, and is available in two versions. The base option is the Rear-Wheel Drive that starts at RM189,000, while the Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive is priced at RM218,000. The specifications for each are as follows:

Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive

  • 0-100 km/h time: 6.1 seconds
  • Top speed: 201 km/h
  • Range (WLTP): 513 km

Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive

  • 0-100 km/h time: 4.4 seconds
  • Top speed: 201 km/h
  • Range (WLTP): 629 km

After choosing your preferred powertrain, there are also quite a number of options that you can add to your Model 3. These include:

Exterior colour

  • Pearl White Multi-Coat: Included
  • Solid Black: RM5,000
  • Deep Blue Metallic: RM5,000
  • Stealth Grey: RM7,500
  • Ultra Red: RM11,000

Wheels

  • 18-inch Photon wheels: Included
  • 19-inch Nova wheels: RM7,500

Interior colour

  • Black: Included
  • Black and white: RM5,000

Driver assistance systems

  • Enhanced Autopilot (Navigate on Autopilot, Auto Lane Change): RM16,000
  • Full Self-Driving Capability (all functionality of Basic Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot): RM32,000

It should be noted that customer deliveries of the Model 3 will start ahead of the Model Y, the latter being the first Tesla vehicle offered for our market when the brand was launched here back in July this year.

However, deliveries of the Model Y are only scheduled to start sometime in early 2024. If you’ve placed an order for the Model Y but had a change of heart and want a Model 3 instead, you can do so by following this guide we’ve prepared.

      Thank (laugh?) us early adopters for building up the EV infrastructure and keeping manufacturers afloat to improve their tech. We will get murdered in resale value and will have inferior tech (motor, battery, ADAS, build quality) after 3-5 years.

      Given Tesla has slashed prices in China at least twice (3?) in 2023, I see Tesla Malaysia doing the same in 2024. Immediate depreciation for first batch of buyers.

      I don’t mind because I love EVs and also can take a 10-20% hit but it does not apply to the vast majority of car owners.

    Tesla is like AirAsia…. add ons make the price exorbitant but to the untrained, the base price makes it look affordable…

  • Tesla Malaysia has already started to email and request to collect RM15k payment from buyers in order to proceed for the next step of getting the vehicle. Target to receive the vehicle by end of this year.
    This is for those who wants to expedite the process.
