Buyers guideline on DIY buying a Tesla From A Tesla Owner

Book through Tesla site (RM 1,000).
For cash purchases there is a RM15,000 initial payment required. For purchases by auto loans this is not required. - [@narutokun83]
You can either wait for VIN, or you can already use your Order Agreement to apply for loan if you need one. If you’re applying through Maybank, you can apply HERE (maybank link) and wait for the banker to contact you.
The banker can assist you with the insurance as well. Tesla partners with Maybank, and Maybank works with Etiqa as their insurance partner. You can go with your own choice for bank and insurance. But take note of point no. 7. Once you receive your LOU, email it to your DA.
If you have place a bid for your registration number, email the letter from JPJ as to your DA as well. Or you can just ask them to get a running number. Going through JPJ eBid to bid for your dream number warrants another tutorial.
If you need to interchange your number, ask for K1 form from your DA and get a runner to assist you. Tesla MY (at least one of the DAs provided this runner number - PKT Autoworld (TC Gan) +60 19-384 3388.
Once Tesla updates you with your estimate delivery date, they will provide a final invoice (not necessarily an invoice, they’ll let you know your balance payment through email). Pay the balance and request your motor number from them as you need this for e-hakmilik and insurance cover note release. (Make sure you have already signed your HP agreement at this point).
Whatever documents related to registration, just email them to your DA. They have a tendency to ask for one document at a time, even a day before your supposed delivery day.
From us 1st batch experiencing Tesla Malaysia’s delivery process, they register your car a day before delivery. Try to confirm with your DA again on your delivery date closer to the said date.
You can try to monitor your myJPJ app to see if your car has been registered (your road tax will appear on the app). This can happen really really close to your delivery date (if your delivery session is in the afternoon, they might even get your car registered in the morning. They’re really trust their runner I guess lol).
As per my personal experience, things are smooth if you’re not doing interchange. My road tax and registration appeared on my myJPJ app a day before my delivery day, and I didn’t bother to reconfirm if my delivery is happening. Well of you’re car is registered, there shouldn’t be any more issue. Just go pick up your car when the time comes.
Try to come early, they’re quite punctual.

Document checklist:

Receipt for first payment (RM 15,000)
LOU
Document related to your registration number (letter from JPJ for your winning bid/interchange related documents)
Receipt for balance payment
E-hakmilik
Insurance cover note
Your IC

Buying Online Without Going to the Tesla's Retail Store

QUOTE(watzisname @ Jun 12 2024, 07:13 PM)

If u not looking to test drive , u can just book online.. else yes u will have to make 2 trips

Then u need to download the tesla app, a VIN number will be issued to you.

Follow the steps on the app and upload docs necessary

U need to bid on ebid jpj for new plate number.. if transfer number from existing car , u need to go jpj yourself ( or get a runner to do it )

Get quote from insurance.. tesla will recommend liberty and etiqa

Then fwd the insurance cover note and jpj letter to tesla , they will register for you once the car arrives

They will call/email once car arrives to set delivery date.. then u make the final payment

I am thinking of replacing my electric car

Lone Wolf X — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 13:32:17 +0800

I am thinking of replacing my electric car with a petrol car and have some questions.

1. I have heard that petrol cars can not refuel at home while you sleep? How often do you have to refill elsewhere? Is this several times a year? Will there be a solution for refueling at home?

2. Which parts will I need service on and how often? The car salesman mentioned a box with gears in it. What is this and will I receive a warning with an indicator when I need to change gear?

3. Can I accelerate and brake with one pedal as I do today with my electric car?

4. Do I get fuel back when I slow down or drive downhill? I assume so, but need to ask to be sure.

5. The car I test drove seemed to have a delay from the time I pressed the accelerator pedal until it began to accelerate. Is that normal in petrol cars?

6. We currently pay about 1.2p per mile to drive our electric car. I have heard that petrol can cost up to 10 times as much so I reckon we will lose some money in the beginning. We drive about 20,000 miles a year. Let's hope more people will start using petrol so prices go down.

7. Is it true that petrol is flammable? Should I empty the tank and store the petrol somewhere else while the car is in the garage?

8. Is there an automatic system to prevent gasoline from catching fire or exploding in an accident. What does this cost?

9. I understand that the main ingredient in petrol is oil. Is it true that the extraction and refining of oil causes environmental problems as well as conflicts and major wars that over the last 100 years have cost millions of lives? Is there a solution to these problems?

10. I have heard that cars with internal combustion based engines are being banned to enter more and more cities around the world, as it is claimed that they tend to harm the environment and health of their citizens?? Is that true??

I may have more questions later, but these are the most important ones to me at the moment. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Tesla Model Y Unveil

Lone Wolf X — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 09:16:05 +0800

Model Y is an all-electric, mid-size SUV designed for maximum versatility and safety. Model Y will start at $39,000 for the Standard Range version, and will also come in Long Range, Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive, and Performance variants.

Model Y is spacious enough to carry seven adults and their gear and offers leading range, superior performance, and the most advanced technology. The high-efficiency powertrain and ultra-responsive motors will provide 0-60 mph acceleration in as little as 3.5 seconds and a top speed of up to 150 mph, with excellent handling for any road condition. Model Y Standard Battery will have 230 miles of range, while Model Y Long Range will be able to travel up to 300 miles on a single charge.

Inside, Model Y's panoramic glass roof and high seating creates a feeling of spaciousness and offers an expansive view from every seat in the vehicle. The front trunk and split-folding second-row seats provide a total of 66 cubic feet (1.9 cubic meters) of storage space. Like Model 3, Model Y requires no keys, but instead connects to your smartphone for seamless entry and exit, with a single 15-inch touchscreen interface inside for all of the car's controls. Model Y also connects with the Tesla Mobile app for unique, easy-to-access features like remote unlock, Summon, remote pre-conditioning, location tracking, Speed Limit Mode, and much more.

Model Y is designed to be the safest mid-size SUV. Built from the ground up as an electric vehicle, the low center of gravity, rigid body structure and large crumple zones provide unparalleled protection. Its aerodynamic design and leading battery technology also make it highly-efficient in terms of energy usage, meaning you can achieve better range with less energy than other EVs on the market. Model Y is also compatible with our current Supercharger network of more than 12,000 Superchargers in 36 countries, as well as our new V3 Superchargers which can charge at rates up to 1,000 miles per hour.

Deliveries are expected to begin in Fall 2020 for Model Y Performance, Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, and Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive variants, and Spring 2021 for the $39,000 Model Y Standard Range. Please visit our Design Studio to see available options and current delivery estimates.
