Last week, Tesla Malaysia announced that they are bringing their <\/span>operations in Malaysia<\/span><\/a> with a cryptic instagram post. From there, we\u2019ve gotten news of an official launch date in Malaysia, July 20, and also an <\/span>official listing of the Tesla Model Y<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Malaysian Electric Vehicle (EV) enthusiasts and Elon Musk fanboys might be rejoicing at the news, it is bad news to some people.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of those people are the local car dealerships, who have started to slash prices on their existing stock of Tesla EVs in order to stay competitive and cut losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

A brief overview of these dealerships listings on websites like <\/span>Mudah<\/span><\/a> revealed that dealerships have started selling their existing Tesla Model Y at a discount of almost 50 percent of the original price it was listed for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesla revealed their official listing of the Tesla Model Y last week, and it was a pleasant surprise for EV enthusiasts and Tesla fans as it was much cheaper than previously speculated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesla Model Y\u2019s pricing will start at RM199,000, which is below estimates by as much as RM50,000 and RM100,000. For comparison, the standard range model Y is priced at 1,959,000 baht (RM256,149) in Thailand, and SGD 87,990 (RM301,687) in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Locally, the Model Y will come in three base specifications packages, Y Rear-wheel drive (RWD) at RM199,000, Long Range All-wheel drive (AWD) at RM246,000, and the top spec Performance AWD at RM288,000.<\/span><\/p>\n
