Tesla's First Store in Hokkaido Opens in Sapporo

Tesla has officially opened its first store in Hokkaido, located in Sapporo City. This new store is a significant milestone for Tesla as it aims to bring sustainable energy and innovative vehicles to more people, introducing a new lifestyle for the residents of Hokkaido.

The store, situated on the first floor of Sapporo Factory, features display and test drive vehicles for Tesla's flagship products, including the Model 3 and the highly-praised Model Y, which dominates the domestic EV mid-size SUV segment. Customers will have the unique opportunity to experience Tesla's advanced technology firsthand. With this opening, Hokkaido residents can now easily take test drives, making Tesla more accessible.

Tesla’s superior dual-motor AWD system ensures reliable performance even in harsh snowy and frigid conditions typical of Hokkaido. For instance, in cold regions like Norway, many Tesla vehicles have demonstrated exceptional range during winter, with an efficient heat pump system that maintains battery efficiency while providing a comfortable driving experience. Tesla vehicles have proven to be well-suited for daily use in cold climates.

Adding to the experience, Tesla cars can utilize Japan's fastest charging network, the Tesla Supercharger, alongside public charging facilities. This compatibility ensures that driving a Tesla in Hokkaido can be a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Through this store, Tesla wishes to share its vision with Hokkaido residents and work towards building a sustainable and prosperous future together.
