Looking for a sub-5 second three-row SUV? Tesla Malaysia is now offering a complimentary Acceleration Boost upgrade for the Model Y L, making its six-seater electric SUV noticeably quicker off the line.
With the upgrade, the Model Y L now accelerates from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds quicker than its previous 5.0-second time.
However, it still retains the same top speed of 201km/h while its listed WLTP-rated range remains unchanged of up to 681km. Take note that the upgrade is applicable for new orders.
Tesla Model Y L starts from RM263,000
The Tesla Model Y L is currently priced from RM263,000 in Malaysia following its recent price update in July.
According to Tesla Malaysia, monthly instalments for the Model Y L start from RM1,988. This calculation is based on a 1.78% fixed interest rate, 30% downpayment and a 108-month loan tenure.
Stealth Grey is included at no extra cost but you can customise your EV at an extra cost.
Customers can customise the exterior with the following optional colours:
- Pearl White Multi-Coat – RM5,000
- Diamond Black – RM5,000
- Glacier Blue – RM7,500
- Ultra Red – RM11,000

With all options maxed out, the Model Y L would cost RM295,000.
