Tesla officially entered the Malaysian market after hosting a launch event at Pavilion KL, a high-end shopping mall located in Kuala Lumpur. This is the latest Right Hand Drive market after the UK, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Thailand.

The event showcased all&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/tesla/model-y/" target="_blank">Tesla Model Y</a>&nbsp;variants for the first time, including the Rear Wheel Drive, Long Range, and Performance. The public can view and experience these eco-friendly EVs until October&nbsp;31st.&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/tesla/" target="_blank">Tesla</a>&nbsp;began&nbsp;accepting online orders a week ago starting at RM199,000 and will begin delivery in early 2024.

At the same time, Tesla announced it will open the first Supercharging Station location in Malaysia right under the mall at basement parking level B1. At launch, it will have a total of eight V3 Superchargers with CCS2 connectors operating at an efficiency of 250 kW, allowing the Model Y to be charged up with 75 miles (120 kilometers) of range in five minutes.

Tesla has plans to open multiple Supercharging stations at strategic locations to cover popular destinations across the country. Around 10 locations can be spotted on the charging map. Target opening dates are still to be confirmed with a large number being located within Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia is one of the few locations where Tesla is a latecomer to the party. Many&nbsp;strong EV competitors entered this market quite some time ago. These include&nbsp;Audi, BMW,&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/byd/" target="_blank">BYD</a>, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes Benz,&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/nissan/" target="_blank">Nissan</a>, Porsche, Smart (soon to launch), Volvo, and many more to come, including the homegrown brand&nbsp;Proton (partnering with Geely).

Some local enthusiasts and early adopters have been spotted driving Tesla EVs by importing the vehicles using private channels, while some Singaporeans posted online photos of cross-border road&nbsp;trips&nbsp;driving throughout the country. Tesla's competitive pricing and advanced tech could be an advantage that may be attractive to local buyers and offer Tesla a chance to gain a leading&nbsp;title for market shares.

Time will tell if Tesla will be a success, but one thing is certain: its rapid expansion of Supercharging stations will be tough to compete with, just like what we've seen in other global markets. The simple plug-and-play charging experience is an advantage for the firm.

According to the Minister of International Trade and Industry, Tesla is required to complete 50 Superchargers within three years and 30 percent of them must be open to other brands as part of the approval to allow the establishment of Tesla in the country. Earlier in the year, figures showed Malaysia had 900 charging points and it was expected to provide up to 4,000 charging points by the end of 2023.

Onwards, the country's roadmap for EV charging stations is targeting around 10,000 stations by 2025, which will be comprised of 1,000 DC units and 9,000 AC units. Similar to Europe, Tesla owners from Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, once a sufficient number of Supercharging locations are completed, should be able to do a road trip between all three countries without worrying about range anxiety.

Will this new market addition for Tesla's growth help keep its stock price at the recent high or&nbsp;gain a foothold above $300? Or for many anticipated&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/tesla/model-s/" target="_blank">Model S</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/tesla/model-x/" target="_blank">Model X</a>&nbsp;fans, will this new Right Hand Drive market generate enough demand for Elon to reconsider relaunching the RHD models so that Malaysia and many RHD markets can once again have access to the full Tesla lineup?

Tesla intends to launch its brand all over the globe, and Malaysia just happens to be the next hot spot.

Malaysian Fans Welcome Tesla's Official Launch In The Country

According to the event’s poster, Tesla Malaysia is looking to fill up five roles through the recruitment day which is set to take place on Saturday, 17 June at Cyberview Sdn Bhd in Cyberjaya:

- Sales Advisor / Inside Sales Advisor

The poster also noted that there is no pre-registration required to attend the recruitment day. Essentially, all you need to do is just bring a printed resume for the on-site interview session.

This does not mean the company has stopped recruiting people for its Malaysian division online. In fact, the listing for Malaysia on Tesla Careers website also includes the five roles that will be the focus of Cyberjaya’s walk-in recruitment day.

Alongside those positions, we also noticed several roles that were not present in April’s list. Among them includes Vehicle Technician, Parts Advisor, Service Manager, Store Supervisor, Senior Accountant, and Office Administrator.

Do note that all of the positions listed on the Tesla Careers website are based in Kuala Lumpur just in case you are coming from outside of Klang Valley. For more details on these roles, just head on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/?site=MY" target="_blank">to the Tesla Careers website</a>.

Malaysia is set to become the third official Tesla market in Southeast Asia after Singapore and Thailand. The company is currently selling Model Y, which is the world’s best-selling car in Q1 this year, as well as Model 3 in both countries.

In Singapore, Model Y can be obtained with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tesla.com/en_sg/modely/design#overview">a starting price of SGD87,990 (~RM302,140)</a>&nbsp;while it starts at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tesla.com/en_th/modely/design#overview" target="_blank">TBH1,959,000 (~RM261,276) in Thailand</a>. On the other hand, Model 3’s starting price in Singapore is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tesla.com/en_sg/model3/design#overview" target="_blank">SGD75,990 (~RM260,935)</a>&nbsp;as opposed to Thailand where it starts at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tesla.com/en_th/model3/design#overview" target="_blank">THB1,759,000 (~RM234,602)</a>.
