Any addition is good! But curious to know why this is a big deal? It’s not exactly a rich population (GNI per capita of $11k)Malaysia! This is a big deal.

You never know, but I find that incredibly unlikely... Can be that Tom is being groomed as Elon's successor, but I would expect the transition to take a couple of years, gradual and be well signalled in advance

For anyone concerned about the resource angle, don't worry as here is a video of how Mercedes has cells all sussed out
(the old ones are the best ones, some eye candy whilst waiting for tonight)

I just heard from my friends who live in KL. They just ordered two Model Y. Replacing one Mercedes, one Audi.Malaysia! This is a big deal.

Tesla's application to import electric vehicles into Malaysia has been approved by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
Of note, Monterrey Institute of Technology has many programs that can feed the new plant - Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Automotive, etc. and is arguably one of the top 2-3 universities in Mexico. The city is more than twice the size of Austin, 10x Reno, not anywhere near Shanghai, etc. so the human capital side seems encouraging.

Malaysian import tariffs on Teslas high or low?

China's CCP warns Elon Musk against sharing Wuhan lab leak report
Chinese state media warned Tesla CEO Elon Musk that he could be endangering his relationship with China after Musk shared tweets about a Wuhan laboratory.

It is not quite that simple. In 2021 new BEV incentives were promulgated. The specifics do include Road Tax exemptions and trade agreement modifications. Other local manufacturing and investment incentives also have a part. Hence the Tesla specifics undoubtedly have incentives for Superchargers, certainly with access to non-Tesla vehicles also, and Malaysia sourcing agreements can also yield benefits. In short the generic answers are not really relevant and thus for the Tesla specifics have not been disclosed.
Generically car import duties are 30% and local taxes 10%.
The whole Malay peninsula is now selling Tesla from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The first two both import many used cars from Singapore and Japan, both of which retire cars at very young age. Not too far ahead similar markets should develop for Tesla and other BEV's but that will wait for major market penetration fo BEV in both countries. Later similar processes will begin in the Indian subcontinent. As we consider Tesla future development these issues will become relevant as will the huge needs for smaller passenger cars and minivans. The tuk-tuk market BEV market is thriving in India and Thailand, while China's growth is in micro-mini cars. Those need never be Tesla's market but their growth is now beginning to drive higher level demand.
Such considerations ar obviously part of today's issues. I'll wager there will be little discussion, primarily because North Americans are the largest audience and they think a Ford F150 is small, so they are incapable of understanding China , Indian subcontinent or the Malay peninsula. Elon does so they'll be a 'silent' part of the plan
We now wait for Indonesia, themselves anxious to have Tesla, plus Philippines. Logistically Indonesia and Philippines are challenging because they're made up of huge expanses of islands linked [almost] only by air and sea, making support exceedingly difficult. Still, Tesla is at the point of supporting nearly all accessible markets.
After Mexico and Sigma come all those wide-open South and Central American markets.
Within a few months we'll begin more Africa, rather than just Morocco tourist oriented Superchargers. South Africa beckons! Luckily MB, VAG are already nearly everywhere, as are parts of Stellantis.
Numbers for Norway just in: Model Y was the most sold car once again (1271 cars sold, ID4 in second had 485)!
In the manufacturer ranking Tesla was also ahead at 1551 vs. Volkswagen brand second at 1326.

Remember Navigant / Guidehouse Research and their silly Autonomous Software ratings?
Well they've gotten even sillier.

I'm with you on the looks.. the Mr. Krabs headlights and overall look is a bit cutesy for me.
That having been said, the underlying engineering for the platform is a night and day difference between it and the Lightning, in my opinion.
The Rivian was designed from the ground up as an EV and has some elegant engineering. (Probably contributing to their financial woes). The Lightning appears to have EV guts thrown haphazardly in to the existing ICE chassis. lt would not surprise me to have nightmarish maintenance, which should not be the case for an EV. It also appears to have almost zero thought from an optimization standpoint (aero, running gear, etc..)
Also the 800V cars are limited to slower charging rates than 400V cars, i.e. ionic, Porsche... There was the video of the guy in NY that got 62kW and said he expects to get about half of what he could get at EA, but since those are often unavailable this would be a great backup for him. This Rivian charged at 150kW which is not bad...
I wonder if v4 supercharger is different in that respect.

We joined here about a month apart @gene , I also buying my S in early 2013.
I'm pulling for you, good sir. As others have noted, there's a high degree of success for such procedures. I look forward to your posts during recovery.
Worst part was having committed to the lower price to so many people while on eBay the same $80k truck got flipped for $120-160k. Maybe they should not have followed teslas example of preorders at fixed prices but instead sold them auction style themselves to find the perfect market price of the day
