If you want an EV with the most range, Tesla has finally introduced its Model 3 Long Range RWD option in Malaysia which boasts an impressive 750km of WLTP-rated range. This is the most amount of range we’ve seen from a sub-RM200,000 EV in Malaysia.
The Tesla Model 3 is currently one of the most efficient EVs in the market with its low drag coefficient rating of 0.219Cd. With a larger battery pack and a lighter single-motor setup, the Long Range RWD is the perfect variant for those who want to clock more km on a single charge.
Based on the advertised range, you should be able to get from Johor Bahru to Sungai Petani easily on a single charge with sensible driving.
Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD offers the most range under RM200,000
The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD is priced from RM185,000 which slots right in between the standard RWD and Long Range AWD model. According to Tesla, this variant can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds and you can get 311km of range in just 15 minutes with a Tesla Supercharger.
If you miss the physical stalk for indicator, Tesla has also updated the Model 3 which now includes signal stalks similar to the current Tesla Model Y “Juniper”.
Other enhancements include a front camera and also a matte “T” badge on the hood.
