Last year, I wrote an article where I stated that I really hope that Tesla is looking into Malaysia and similar markets. Tesla recently started selling its electric vehicles in Thailand. The company received over
. Tesla recently started selling its electric vehicles in Thailand. The company received over 5,000 orders in just a few days in Thailand after the launch. This goes to show that there is great demand for EVs in these kinds of markets. The Tesla Model 3 starts from about $50,000 in Thailand. Tesla has also been selling its vehicles in Singapore since last year. They started with the Model 3 there and followed that up with the launch of the Model Y in the middle of last year.
One of these independent bodies that are importing Teslas is the Malay Vehicle Importers and Traders Association of Malaysia . PEKEMA plans to import at least 500 Teslas a year, buoyed by the recent removal of road tax, sales tax, and excise and import duty for electric vehicles in Malaysia. The Malaysian government has moved to catalyse the adoption of EVs, giving 100% duty exemption for completely built electric cars up to December 31, 2024.
It’s really great to see Tesla getting into another market in the region. Malaysia is generally a much larger market for vehicles than Singapore . It should be fairly easy for sales in Malaysia per month/year to at least match Tesla’s Singapore figures. I hope we start seeing more of these announcements more frequently. As Tesla continues to ramp up production of its current models, hopefully it has more room to service more new markets soon.
