The Tesla Model Y facelift “Launch Series” is no longer available in Malaysia. A cursory check of the Tesla Malaysia website now shows that only the standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) variant, priced at RM195,450, and the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variant, priced at RM242,450, are available, with both maintaining the same initial launch prices from before.
Introduced as a limited release during the launch of the Model Y facelift in Malaysia, the Launch Series featured exclusive additions like a unique rear badge, puddle light design, and a ‘launch’ word mark on the doorsill plates. The interior also received exclusive treatment, boasting variant-specific charging console and floor mats with special badging, silver accents, and all-black vegan suede upholstery.
Beyond aesthetics, the Tesla Model Y Launch Series AWD variant also benefits from ‘Acceleration Boost’, enabling a faster 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.3 seconds – 0.5 seconds quicker than the standard AWD variant’s 4.8 seconds. The RWD variant, which does not have this feature, reaches 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.
