Tesla's Exciting Expansion in Japan

Tesla is making significant strides in Japan, opening new stores across three key regions: Kanto, Tokai, and Kinki. This move not only enhances accessibility for potential electric vehicle (EV) buyers but also showcases Tesla's commitment to spreading awareness about sustainable energy solutions.

Starting this summer, Tesla fans and prospective customers will have the opportunity to experience the brand firsthand with grand openings scheduled for June in Kobe and Ibaraki, followed by a store in Nagoya in early July. At these stores, customers can enjoy engaging with the latest models, including the highly anticipated new version of the Model Y and the popular Model 3.

The Model 3, a midsize sedan known for its impressive range and top-notch performance, is now more affordable than ever. Through a special price adjustment coupled with government subsidies, customers can now acquire the Model 3 RWD for as low as ¥3,990,000. The adjustments offer up to ¥550,000 off, which significantly enhances the vehicle's competitiveness in the EV market.

Details of the New Stores

• - Tesla Kobe: Opened on June 14 at Nakashima 2-1-1, Hyogo, Japan.
• - Tesla Ibaraki: Opened on June 21 at Kamitaka 367, Tsuchiura, Ibaraki.
• - Tesla Nagoya: Opening on July 5 at Noritake 3-1-17, Nishi-ku, Nagoya, Aichi.

Each location will serve not only as showrooms for the newest Tesla vehicles but also as interactive spaces for customers to participate in test drives, educational sessions about EV charging, and learn about potential subsidies that can further lower their purchase prices.

Competitive Pricing, Exceptional Features

The revised pricing structure for the Model 3 includes the following:

• - Model 3 RWD: From ¥4,860,000 (after a price adjustment of ¥453,000) with a government subsidy of ¥870,000.
• - Model 3 Long Range AWD: From ¥5,669,000 (after a price adjustment of ¥550,000), also eligible for the same subsidy.
• - Model 3 Performance: Starts at ¥6,910,000 (with a adjustment of ¥349,000), benefiting from the same government support.

For a resident of Chiyoda in Tokyo, the combined benefits from national and local subsidies could total up to ¥197,000, making the purchase even more appealing.

Celebrate the Launch with a Contest

In addition to the store openings, Tesla is hosting the 'Tesla Vision Contest' to commemorate the introduction of the new Model Y. This video contest invites Tesla owners and fans from around the world to submit original 90-second videos that reflect Tesla's impact on their lives.

Occurring globally, this competition showcases creativity and innovation while providing an engaged platform for Tesla enthusiasts. The winners in the top three positions will receive a once-in-a-lifetime experience touring Gigafactory Texas along with a full self-driving trial in a Cybertruck, including travel and accommodation support.

Participants can submit their videos via YouTube and share via various social media platforms, ensuring a wide reach and audience engagement. Entries must include the hashtag #TeslaVisionContest and be completed by July 18, 2023.

Conclusion

With these developments, Tesla not only aims to cement its position in the Japanese market but also encourages a broader conversation on sustainable energy and innovation. The new store openings, competitive pricing strategies, and exciting contests are all designed to elevate customer experience and promote the adoption of electric vehicles. This is just the beginning of what promises to be an exhilarating chapter for Tesla in Japan.
