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:

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

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.
