The first Tesla delivery center in Japan opened in Ariake last November, when only the Model 3 sedan was available in the country.
As it launched in Japan in June, Tesla simultaneously opened Model Y orders to customers in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
Tesla is also partnering with an energy storage plant in Hokkaido to connect the site to the electrical grid using Megapacks. The company’s clean energy business has established similar projects in the U.S. and Australia.
