So yeah! What a shock! I was planned to buy BYD Atto 3 next year! Suddenly, kaboom! Tesla Malaysia announce Model Y a C segment at only 200k! That's mind boggling! Even BYD can't compete! Sure, BYD Atto 3 is 150k but, Atto 3 is B segment!

Ladies and gentlemen! Tesla comes in with a hand grenade! Even BYD can be seen waving white flag!

Tesla Model Y price is so competitive, even ICE brands are shivering! I mean why buy luxury SUV from Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, BMW when you can buy Tesla a C segment at 200K!

So yeah, sad to say, i am buying Tesla Model Y instead of BYD Attos 3! The price is just too good to be true!

Just like Malaysia's football team, they bring in the world's best, but still flop at regional or continent level. Tesla got hope in Malaysia?

Dickyme! Malaysia is hopeless! You bring in Ronaldo to play for Malaysia, soon, he will be converted, his performance drop due to internal race religion polemic!
As for Tesla, it's purely business! Clearly Elon Musk is aiming at BYD! Dropping Tesla cars at prices beyond capability of other EV brands to compete! Even ICE cars!
EV is in growth phase! Where producers are going for dominance! Plenty of blood spill! The battle has just began!

I pity Geely! They want to bring in Smart 1 for the longest time! Smart 1 will be sold for 200k! Come on! How to compete with Model 3 which probably will be sold for 100k!

SsLee! Malaysia has the cheapest Model Y in the world! How to beat that!

Posted by FortuneBull777 > 2023-07-15 15:31 | Report Abuse

It just become no brainer! Either you buy BYD Atto 3 a B segment SUV or Tesla Model Y a C segment, a size larger! At 200K!

Posted by Sslee > 2023-07-15 16:27 | Report Abuse

RM 200,000 to USD
USD 200,000/4.53 = USD 44,150

So will be at no.4 list.

Anyway, this latest development is so exciting, to me! Because it means Tesla is going against BYD in Malaysia! I am very sure BYD will fire back! Wait and see! Exciting days for EV transition in Malaysia!
