Tesla is all set to make its official debut in Malaysia later this month. The official unveiling will take place in Kuala Lumpur on July 20, 2023, as per some local reports. A dedicated Instagram page has already been created by the name of teslamotorsmys but the Malaysian section of the official website is not active yet. Tesla was the first applicant under MITI’s BEV Global Leaders initiative by the Malaysian government that aims to boost BEV demand in the local Malaysian market.
“Tesla will establish a Head Office, Tesla Experience & Services Centers [sic], and Supercharger network, simultaneously creating skilled & better-paying jobs for M’sians,” tweeted Malaysia’s MITI Minister Tengku Datuk Seri

The company has not confirmed yet the models that it will bring to Malaysia for the launch but it’s expected to start with the Model Y and Model 3 as they did in Singapore and Thailand. Gigafactory Shanghai can be the manufacturer of Tesla EVs that will be sold in Malaysia. If we talk about the price of these models, Tesla sells two Model 3 variants: the RWD for RMB 231,900 and the Dual Motor AWD version for RMB 331,900. Tesla sells three Model Y variants: the RWD for RMB 263,900, the Long Range AWD for RMB 313,900, and the Performance variant for RMB 363,900.
Last month Tesla Malaysia recruited applicants for numerous job profiles like Sales and Advisor, Sales advisor/Inside sales advisor, Enterprise sales advisor, Delivery advisor, Customer support specialist, and service advisor.
