Orders can be placed online at tesla.com/en_my/modely or tesla.com/en_my. Service centres are planned, to be located in heavily populated metropolitan areas.
Tesla has installed eight Superchargers at Pavilion, Bukit Bintang although these are not yet in operational, pending approvals.
Owners of non-official imports (grey market/parallel imports) will be able to use the Superchargers as well as service centres. Software updates will be available, for a fee.
