Tesla has begun delivery of its Model Y SUV in Malaysia, with the first batch of vehicles handed over to customers at the Cyberjaya Experience Centre.
It did not state how many customers were in the first batch although one press release photo it supplied indicated not more than nine. It also did not provide a breakdown on which model variants were bought.
The Model Y is the world’s best-selling electric SUV and boasts a 5-star NHTSA safety rating, offering a blend of performance and practicality.
It features a spacious interior with a cargo capacity exceeding 2,100 litres, enough to accommodate five passengers and their luggage. The SUV also impresses with its performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 kph in just 3.7 seconds and offering a range of up to 533km on a single charge (WLTP cycle).
