As everyone celebrates the reopening of the Singapore-Malaysia border, people have found unique ways to travel there, including cycling for five hours.
One Singaporean couple decided to go the more atas route, driving across the Causeway on Tesla’s autopilot mode.
As they shared their journey on TikTok, they also helped others by sharing useful information about the locations and costs of electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
According to the caption in their TikTok video, the couple managed to clear customs at the border within 45 minutes.
They mentioned that their Tesla Model 3 SR+ managed to cover 700km, bringing them to their destination in Penang.
The pair also shared the places they visited, including the Eastern & Oriental Hotel.
After checking in with the MySejahtera app, which is similar to Singapore’s TraceTogether, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that the hotel had a Porsche charging point.
After their stay in Penang, the couple drove to Langkawi in their Tesla.
In the comments section of the clip, someone asked how much it cost for them to charge their Tesla at the hotel.
The couple responded with another video compiling the locations and costs of the EV chargers they used during the trip, and here it is:
In a previous TikTok, they shared about the PlugShare website, which shows users the various locations of EV chargers on a map.
One can also filter their searches based on the chargers they prefer. In the couple’s case, they filtered for Combined Charging System (CCS) & Type 2 chargers.
It’s satisfying to see the creative ways Singaporeans have chosen to travel to Malaysia.
While the conventional way is to fly or travel by bus, driving to Malaysia allows us to explore their sprawling expressways and breathtaking scenery at our own pace. And autopilot mode would certainly make the journey easier.
If you happen to have an EV and plan to visit Malaysia soon, you can find more useful information on the couple’s TikTok page.
