  • Tesla Malaysia has kept its vehicle prices unchanged despite the implementation of MITI's new CBU (Completely Built-Up) EV import ruling effective July 1, 2026
  • The new MITI policy requires all imported CBU EVs to meet a minimum CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) value of RM200,000 and a minimum motor power of 180kW
  • The ruling was designed to end the cheap EV import era and protect the nascent local EV assembly (CKD) industry
  • However, Tesla's existing lineup already exceeds the RM200,000 CIF threshold, meaning no immediate price increase for Tesla buyers
  • The catch: Tesla Malaysia has removed the one-time Full Self-Driving (FSD) purchase option (previously RM32,000) from its website, transitioning to a subscription-only model
  • Industry analysts note that the MITI ruling will primarily affect lower-priced Chinese EV brands that were importing CBU units below the RM200,000 threshold
  • The policy aims to encourage EV manufacturers to set up local assembly operations in Malaysia, creating jobs and technology transfer

  • Tesla马来西亚在马来西亚国际贸易与工业部（MITI）新全散件进口（CBU）电动汽车进口规定于2026年7月1日生效后，保持车辆价格不变
  • MITI新政策要求所有进口CBU电动汽车必须满足最低CIF（成本、保险和运费）价值20万令吉和最低电机功率180千瓦
  • 该规定旨在终结廉价电动汽车进口时代，保护新兴的本地电动汽车组装（CKD）产业
  • 然而，Tesla现有车型已超过20万令吉的CIF门槛，意味着Tesla买家不会面临即时价格上涨
  • 关键变化：Tesla马来西亚已从其网站上移除了一次性全自动驾驶（FSD）购买选项（此前为32,000令吉），转向纯订阅模式
  • 行业分析师指出，MITI规定主要影响的是此前以低于20万令吉门槛进口CBU车型的低价中国汽车品牌
  • 该政策旨在鼓励电动汽车制造商在马来西亚设立本地组装业务，创造就业和技术转让
