What I mean by cheap is that, 1) it's cheap in comparison to other region, and at those price range, 2) its very much at price range on some of the other premium ICE SUVs cars - all while being an EV and having better performance.

To put into context...

1) Regional comparison on MY price:

For Model Y, LR, 20inch rim, FSD

55k usd cn
56k usd JP
*63k usd MY*
68k usd US
72k usd AU
76k usd th
79k usd TW
100k usd Hk
107k usd sgd (rear drive)

2) Price compared to local ICE cars in MY

For a simple comparison, RM200k model Y basic will be in the range of $BAUTO / 5248 (BERMAZ AUTO BERHAD) CX8 as well as UMW's 2.5v Toyota Camry.

- So what does this mean? -

I think at these prices, there will be GOOD demand for Tesla cars in Malaysia, and it will help to ACCELERATE ADOPTION of EVs in Malaysia.

Who will benefit? I think in the short term, $YINSON / 7293 (YINSON HOLDINGS BERHAD) $AMTEL / 7031 (AMTEL HOLDINGS BERHAD) and all EV charger infrastructure players may see an uptick as there needs to be higher adoption and installation of home chargers and usage of current charging station set up. While Tesla will definitely install their super charger, it won't happen at rapid speed.

$AGMO / 0258 (AGMO HOLDINGS BERHAD) and their EV super app will see an uptick in user sign ups too. Hopefully they are smart enough to monetise from the app.

$DRBHCOM / 1619 (DRB-HICOM BERHAD) and BAUTO's EV car range might see some demand overflow as well.

However, it is also true that this is another strong brand that will provide competition to current set up.

What do you guys think?
