Tesla's New Store Opening in Shizuoka City
Tesla, the pioneering electric vehicle manufacturer, is thrilled to announce the opening of its first official store in Shizuoka City, set for January 23, 2026. Located conveniently near Higashi-Shizuoka Station within the multi-use commercial facility MARK IS Shizuoka, this new outlet will showcase Tesla's cutting-edge electric cars, further enhancing accessibility for local consumers.
This opening is particularly significant as it marks the company's expansion beyond its existing locations in Hamamatsu and Iwata. Moving forward, customers in Shizuoka Prefecture will have the opportunity to explore both Tesla Shizuoka and Tesla Hamamatsu stores, thus covering both the central and western regions of the prefecture. Shizuoka is an essential hub given its critical transportation networks, including the Tomei Expressway.
Among the featured models will be the popular mid-size sedan Model 3 and the mid-size SUV Model Y, both designed to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles in the area. Tesla aims to facilitate hands-on experiences that will help educate customers about the advantages of a sustainable vehicle lifestyle.
To mark this occasion, trial drives can be booked through the Tesla website (
www.tesla.com/ja_jp/drive). The store will officially open at 10:00 AM, offering customers fresh insights into Tesla's innovative automotive technologies.
Exciting Financial Options and Incentives
In addition to the new store, Tesla is currently offering enticing financial incentives for purchasing the Model 3 and Model Y. Customers can benefit from a 0% financing option for up to 60 months, significantly easing the transition to electric vehicles. Combined with the newly increased CEV subsidy—now raised from 870,000 yen to 1,270,000 yen—this initiative presents an excellent opportunity for buyers who have previously hesitated due to cost barriers.
Global Performance Highlights
Tesla's success isn't limited to local markets; globally, the company achieved a remarkable delivery milestone of 1,636,129 vehicles in 2025, alongside a record of 46.7 GWh in energy sector deployments. Notably, the fourth quarter showed an exceptional performance with 14.2 GWh. These figures reflect not only vehicle sales but also a comprehensive assessment of Tesla’s overall business, encompassing its automotive, energy, Supercharger network, and innovative AI and autonomous driving technologies.
In Japan, the popularity of the Model Y has played a crucial role in promoting electric vehicle adoption, and Tesla aims to build on the momentum gained from 2025's sales performance.
