Tesla Malaysia recently initiated a hiring ramp. It welcomed people to join its team by checking out the open roles in the country.
Tesla Malaysia has 15 new job roles up for grabs. Most of the jobs are located in Cyberjaya. The company also has one open position each in Kuala Lumpur and Johor. Two jobs are located in Penang.
The Majority of Tesla Malaysia’s new jobs are related to Sales & Customer Support, and Vehicle Service. One position is related to charging and Tesla’s Supercharger Network. Two positions fall under Tesla’s Engineering & Information Technology: Technical Project Manager and IT Desktop Support Technician.
Tesla is looking for a Technical Project Manager specializing in Physical Security for its APAC Security Engineering Program. The job is located in Kuala Lumpur and entails leading multiple projects across Tesla’s Asian markets simultaneously.

“You’ll engage in effective communication with internal and external stakeholders, navigate complex dependencies, and operate with a sense of urgency,” Tesla Malaysia writes about the role.
The IT Desktop Support Technician’s primary task will be to “troubleshoot and resolve endpoint issues, install and support the systems, and assist with the day-to-day operations for Tesla’s global IT infrastructure to support the growth of Tesla’s initiatives.”
Tesla Malaysia is also searching for a Consumer Engagement Manager and Senior Accountant in Cyberjaya. These two roles will be heavily involved in Tesla’s growth within the country.

Tesla Malaysia launched in summer 2023, starting with Model Y orders. Shortly after opening the Model Y order bank, Tesla Malaysia achieved a major milestone after collecting 10,000 orders in just four days.
The Tesla Model 3 Highland arrived in Malaysia in late November 2023. As of this writing, customers may order a Model 3 Highland through Tesla Malaysia’s inventory. Tesla Malaysia’s website needs to give customers the option to purchase a customized refresh Model 3. However, Malaysian customers still have the option to preorder Model Y units.

Tesla has extended its Bay Area ride-hailing service to include pickups and drop-offs at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The update, shared via the company’s official channels on July 21, allows users in the region to request rides directly to and from one of California’s busiest airports.
The expansion builds on Tesla’s secured limousine permit for SFO operations. Public records show the permit became effective March 20, 2026, and remains active through January 31, 2027. Tesla vehicles operating the service now display authorized limousine permits issued by the City and County of San Francisco.

Tesla’s ride-hailing program in California relies on Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology. Human safety drivers remain present in compliance with state regulations, distinguishing the service from fully driverless operations.
The Bay Area geofence covers a broad area spanning north of San Francisco to south of San Jose, offering extensive connectivity across the region.

This SFO addition follows earlier progress at other Bay Area airports. Tesla previously expanded service to San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) in late 2025. The company had engaged with SFO, SJC, and Oakland International Airport officials as early as September 2025 to secure necessary approvals for passenger transport.
The service provides a new option for travelers seeking electric, app-based transportation integrated with Tesla’s ecosystem. Rides are booked through Tesla’s dedicated ride-hailing application, which handles matching, routing, and payments. Pricing follows standard ride-hailing models, with potential adjustments based on distance, time, and demand.
Tesla’s California ride-hailing program launched in July 2025 with an initial invite-only rollout in the Bay Area. It started alongside operations in Austin, Texas, marking the company’s second major U.S. market.
The Bay Area remains a primary focus in California, with service centered on high-demand corridors connecting residential, commercial, and now major transportation hubs. This latest airport integration represents a practical step in Tesla’s broader mobility ambitions within the state.

Tesla’s reason for Starlink integration on Cybercab might surprise you, as the company’s Head of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, finally shed some light on the reason they are putting a satellite internet terminal on its ride-hailing-geared vehicle.
On Monday, Tesla officially confirmed that it would integrate Starlink V5 terminals into Cybercab vehicles, something many Tesla fans had figured the company would do, as the vehicle is primarily geared toward giving rides without any passenger intervention.

The ability to access the internet would allow riders to work or play in the car with their devices. It seemed like a more-than-reasonable feature to add to the Cybercab, which made its way off the production lines for the first time earlier this year.

However, the move is not for the rider, as Elluswamy confirmed on Monday night. Instead, it’s actually for Tesla to be able to have a constant connection to the cars in the Robotaxi fleet so it can troubleshoot issues, contact riders, or resolve other issues.
Elluswamy said:
“It is still not required for safe operation of the vehicle. Connectivity is primarily meant for navigation, customer service and, in general, fleet management.”

Many initially assumed the option of constant connectivity would be enabled on the Cybercab for passenger entertainment or work. With the Cybercab, passengers won’t be doing anything but enjoying the ride, so it seemed more than logical that they would be hanging out with Starlink internet access as an amenity.
However, Tesla’s primary concern with Robotaxi is safety, and nailing these first unsupervised rides is a crucial step to setting a good narrative on how effective driverless transportation can be.
Being able to get in touch with passengers or a vehicle if something is wrong is a crucial part of the overall experience, and preventative measures are being taken by Tesla to ensure a smooth process, even in the worst-case.
