Tesla set to officially enter Malaysia: Bringing car sales, offices, service centres and Supercharger network

Electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla is set to enter Malaysia officially as announced by Tengku Zafrul, the Minister of International Trade & Industry (MITI).

Tesla will establish a head office, experience (showrooms) and service centres here, alongside setting up their fast-charging Supercharger network. The minister added that the American carmaker was the first applicant of MITI’s BEV Global Leaders initiative that’s aimed to spur EV demand here.

This means that upon their arrival, customers can buy brand-new, officially-backed Tesla vehicles. As it is today, customers buying a Tesla vehicle in Malaysia need to get from the reconditioned market, which can prove sticky in matters like warranty claims.
