Tesla Centre And HQ Officially Open In Cyberjaya
About 2 months since launching its official presence in Malaysia, and introducing the Model Y, the first Tesla Centre in Malaysia is officially opened in Cyberjaya. This double-storey facility also serves as Tesla Malaysia’s headquarters as well as an experience and training centre.
Considered a flagship centre, this will provide an all-in-one experience for Malaysian customers and will be developed in 2 phases. The first phase will focus on the retail aspect while the 2nd phase will introduce facilities for servicing, delivery as well as aftersales support. This facility also has 8 Tesla superchargers and 12 AC chargers installed though at this moment these are for internal use and not accessible to the public. The showroom will display all trims of the newest and most affordable electric SUV i.e. Model Y. And it will be joined soon by the Model 3 which is awaiting an official launch.
The opening of this centre highlights Tesla’s commitment to accelerating Malaysia’s transition to sustainable energy by delivering a comprehensive and seamless Tesla ownership experience in the region.
“Tesla’s direct presence in Malaysia will spur Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan 2030’s missions to rapidly enable our manufacturing industry to tech up, and push for net zero carbon emissions. More importantly, we are confident that the establishment of Tesla’s sales, after sales support, as well as leading battery and supercharging technologies in Malaysia will facilitate knowledge transfer, help elevate our SMEs capabilities that feed into the Tesla ecosystem, and create more high-skilled, better-paying jobs for our people. Tesla’s presence in Malaysia has also catalysed public interest and awareness in Malaysia’s electric mobility. I hope Malaysians will share our pride in the launch of the Tesla Centre in Cyberjaya today, merely 7 months after the first announcement of its entry into Malaysia. This is proof that MITI and its agencies have been true to our word on attracting the right investments, and on improving investors’ ease of doing business in Malaysia. I look forward to more impactful actions from Tesla over the coming months,” said YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Aziz, Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry.
Tesla sees itself not solely as a car manufacturer but a technology and clean energy mobility solutions provider, which is partly the reason it chose the Cyberjaya location. This Tesla Centre is also connected to major commercial and residential areas by a network of expressways and is near the federal administrative centre of Putrajaya as well as the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, allowing customers from all around the region to easily access Tesla products and services.
In line with Malaysia’s goal to promote low-carbon mobility and supporting the EV industry, Tesla customers will enjoy full import and excise duties exemption for newly registered zero-emission Tesla EVs. Additionally, customers can benefit from the 100% road tax exemption and individual income tax relief of up to RM2,500 on expenses related to EV charging facilities for the 2023 tax assessment year. Furthermore, companies which rent non-commercial EV may claim tax deduction on the rental amount up to RM300,000 from the year of assessment 2023 until 2025.
