Tesla Model 3 Gets V2L Support, Updated Interior In Malaysia

Tesla Malaysia has recently unveiled several updates to its electric sedans, the Model 3, Model Y and Model Y L, including the addition of V2L Powershare support, a refreshed interior, and enhanced hardware components. V2L Powershare enables owners to draw electricity from their vehicle's battery to power external devices, appliances and tools via a three-pin power socket.

Compatible Tesla vehicles can deliver up to 230V at 13A through the separately sold Tesla Outlet Adapter, which converts the EV's charge port into a power socket. This feature is now available in all new Tesla models sold locally in Malaysia. The Outlet Adapter costs RM350, though it is still listed as "coming soon" on Tesla's local website.

In terms of interior, all Model 3 variants now feature a black headliner, a larger 16-inch centre touchscreen, and the option to choose a Zen Grey interior along with 19-inch Dark Nova wheels. Pricing for the Model 3 remains unchanged, with the Rear-Wheel Drive variant starting at RM149,000 and a WLTP range of 534km, and the Performance All-Wheel Drive reaching RM232,000 with a 0-100km/h time of 3.1 seconds and a claimed range of 600km.

Meanwhile, Malaysians can now reserve the Tesla Roadster, the automaker's new sports car, through Tesla Malaysia's website, with an initial payment of RM21,000 followed by RM182,000 or RM988,000 depending on the chosen model within 10 days.
