Tesla Model 3 updated with signal stalk, front camera and more range. Priced from RM169,000

Besides introducing its 750km Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD model, Tesla Malaysia has also revamped the pricing for its popular Model 3 electric sedan. Across the board, the Model 3 is cheaper by up to RM13,000 and the base RWD model now starts from RM169,000.

The new Model 3 pricing undercuts the BYD Seal 2025 (not to be confused with BYD Seal 6) which was recently launched with a starting price of RM171,800 for the Premium and RM191,800 for the Performance AWD.

On top of that, Tesla Malaysia is offering extra limited time incentives to sweeten the deal. This includes its EV Switcher Programme with RM7,500 uplift or special interest rates from as low as 0%.

Here’s the latest pricing for the Tesla Model 3 lineup in Malaysia:

• Model 3 RWD – RM181,000 RM169,000 (RM12,000 cheaper)
• Model 3 Long Range RWD – RM185,000 *new
• Model 3 Long Range AWD – RM210,000 RM199,000 (RM11,000 cheaper)
• Model 3 Performance AWD – RM242,000 RM229,000 (RM13,000 cheaper)

Take note that these are the base starting prices without extra configuration and add-ons.

Interestingly, there’s also an increase in the listed WLTP-rated range for the existing variants as listed below. From the looks of it, it appears that Tesla could be using an updated battery pack for its higher tier models.

• Model 3 RWD – 513km 520km (+7km)
• Model 3 Long Range RWD – 750km *new
• Model 3 Long Range AWD 629km 660km (+31km)
• Model 3 Performance AWD – 528km 571km (+43km)

In terms of performance, here’s the respective 0-100km/h figures:

• Model 3 RWD – 6.1 seconds (up to 201km/h)
• Model 3 Long Range RWD – 5.2 seconds (up to 201km/h)
• Model 3 Long Range AWD – 4.4 seconds (up to 201km/h)
• Model 3 Performance AWD – 3.1 seconds (up to 261km/h)

In terms of DC fast charging, the base Model 3 RWD supports up to 175kW, while the Model 3 Long Range RWD and above supports up to 250kW. A quick 15-minute top-up at a Tesla Supercharger can provide up to 311km of driving range.

Apart from the price revision, Tesla has also made some updates to the Model 3. This includes the inclusion of signal stalk, front camera and matte Tesla logos on the exterior.
