According to several reports online, Tesla Malaysia is close to a sales launch for the Malaysian market with recent product registrations with SIRIM regarding the implementation of a radar based ADAS system.

Tesla had previously faced backlash for its claim that a system based solely on vision will allow for fully autonomous driving in its vehicles. The first indication of a possible U-turn on that stance came in June 2022 when Tesla filed a request with the FCC to utilise a radar based ADAS system.

Before going plug-in hybrid and eventually entirely electric by 2030, Audi plans to deliver a more potent version of its legendary five-cylinder engine.

The head of Audi Sport, Sebastian Grams, has disclosed that the company is still working on a final iteration of the engine and will boost its power for the following stage. The 5-cylinder engine will be upgraded in the upcoming years, according to Grams. He did not give any specifics regarding the enhancements, although he did say that the engine does not need to be changed entirely.

Musk has long opposed advertising Tesla vehicles, tweeting in 2019 that he “hates advertising” and that “we use that money to make the product great.”

However, Musk has now hinted to a Tesla advertising venture during a shareholder meeting on Tuesday. Tesla has historically avoided traditional promotion and has grown primarily by word of mouth over the years. Musk, on the other hand, appears to have realised the importance of the advertising business now that he controls Twitter.
