PRODUCT LAUNCH
Tesla had their first office product launch event at the Pavillion Mall, Kuala Lumpur on Thursday 20 July 2023. Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Lim Bee Vian and a team from The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) also attended the launch event.
The Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), YB Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Aziz has said “We are grateful Tesla has chosen Malaysia as one of its destinations for the Southeast Asia expansion plan. Above all, their immense commitment to sustainable mobility is closely aligned with Malaysia’s vision for a much greener future and our New Industrial Master Plan 2030’s push for net zero.”
“MITI is focused on transforming our industrial and investment landscape to not only attract companies like Tesla to help enhance our domestic suppliers’ position in global value chains. As a result, it is opening up new ‘greener’ economic opportunities and creating higher-paying jobs for Malaysians. In addition, the company’s presence here will tremendously help raise Malaysia’s pro-business and pro-investment credentials on the global stage. To sum up, we look forward to welcoming more multinational investors that are interested in a more sustainable and inclusive economic growth for our nation.
Additionally, Tesla’s Regional Director, Isabel Fan said that “Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world to transition to sustainable energy. Furthermore, as a part of the company’s commitment to Malaysia, we have given a detailed development plan for their infrastructure in the country, aimed to delivering a seamless Tesla ownership experience.
