In Malaysia, vehicle owners often purchase specific number plates for sentimental or personal reasons, with some holding significant value. Previously, transferring these plates to a new vehicle involved dealerships assisting in the process. However, Tesla’s unconventional business model, with “Experience Centres” and online sales channels, doesn’t offer this service, placing the responsibility squarely on the customer’s shoulders.

The introduction of Tesla vehicles, notably the Model 3 and Model Y, at competitive prices has stirred excitement among potential buyers, but it’s accompanied by unfamiliar procedures. While Tesla’s innovative approach attracts attention, certain aspects, such as non-refundable booking fees and the current number plate transfer situation, have raised concerns among customers.
