At the time of launch, Tesla Malaysia has not yet established its local corporate office, set to be located in Cyberjaya, nor any showrooms (called Experience Centres) or service centres. 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.
