Sorry for the late update. We relocated to Japan back in July 2018 and imported our Tesla Model S 2016. The import took about 2 months -- shipping actually only takes 2 weeks but clearing registration in Japan took some back and forth with the importer. The import was estimated to be roughly...

I think we're losing sight of the original question here. Goflagators question was, "does anyone have experience importing their Tesla" and not "should I import my US Tesla." Also, he is only moving to Tokyo for a few years. So are we. Why sell the US Tesla and pay almost double the price for a...

Ooh, one other thing. If you get a mifi (portable wifi) and have it constantly connected to that wifi, I'm guessing the remote controls (unlock, climate, summon, etc) would work. Also, the only thing Tesla USA clearly said was that the connectivity and updates "are not supported." When tech...

Hi there, We're doing exactly this (importing our 2016 Model S 90D) in a couple months. The first thing you want to do is find a Japanese import agent. We're going with these guys since they give you a detailed breakdown of the estimated costs: COMPANY PROFILE　/　Marshal Cars -auto trading...

thanks. it just pains me to think of all the work (esp the hand labor) that went into the tesla is just ruined by a single dark thought. luckily the body shop i took it to was generous and fixed it up for free! they only needed a light sanding and compound polish to get it out, since the scratch...

my model s (90D blue, just got it 2 months ago) was keyed this morning too. residential area of san mateo. i'm really sorry it happened to your tesla too. i just don't understand what motivates people to do such things...
