Tesla expands in Penang with new service centre, V4 supercharger, and vehicle deliveries

Tesla Malaysia has made a significant move to strengthen its presence in the northern region with the opening of a new service centre and workshop in Seberang Jaya. The facility, unveiled by Tesla regional director Isabel Fan, is equipped with cutting-edge body and paint services, designed to provide comprehensive support for Tesla owners. This new centre will play a crucial role in ensuring that maintenance and repair services are handled efficiently, offering Tesla owners in Penang faster and more convenient service options.

Isabel Fan emphasized that the service centre is part of Tesla’s broader strategy to enhance customer experience by offering superior service capabilities and accessibility. The new facility is expected to cater to the growing number of Tesla users in the northern region, helping streamline after-sales services and contributing to the brand’s growing footprint in Malaysia.

In addition to the new facility, Tesla launched its first V4 supercharger station at Gurney Plaza. This advanced station, which features four 250kW chargers, was inaugurated by Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow. It will not only meet the charging needs of local Tesla owners but also support long-distance travel across the northern region, making EV charging more accessible and convenient.

Tesla is also set to deliver its first vehicles in Penang. On September 12 and 13, 25 new Tesla vehicles will be handed over to owners in a two-day delivery event. This marks a major milestone for Tesla in Penang, signaling the increasing interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and further promoting sustainable mobility in the state.

These key developments underscore Tesla’s commitment to expanding its operations and infrastructure in Malaysia. With the new service centre in Seberang Jaya, the V4 supercharger at Gurney Plaza, and the upcoming vehicle deliveries, Penang is set to become an essential hub for Tesla, reflecting the company’s dedication to meeting the growing demand for EVs in the region.
