The first Model 3 and Y units are expected to begin delivering to customers in Thailand in the first quarter of 2023, while the first Superchargers and service centers are expected to land in February 2023, according to Ekapob.
A few months ago, some noticed that Tesla was ramping up hiring in Thailand, suggesting that the automaker’s vehicles could be launching soon in the country.
Last week, Tesla also shared a photo on LinkedIn that said “Hello Thailand,” alongside an announcement the automaker was coming to the country in December.
