Toyota recalls bZ4X and Subaru Solterra https://www.mlit.go.jp/report/press/jidosha08_hh_004487.html Official documents at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism With repeated hard cornering and hard braking, the lug bolts may loosen, eventually causing abnormal noise. In...

Hi, @NamaDenki , Why would the insurance company "invalidate" your policy by adding a software add-on later? In my opinion, you don't have to worry about it, as it doesn't change the type-approval code (Keishiki in Japanese). They don't even notice. As @glide said, you need to tell the...

@mrkool1, I ordered one in January 2021. Recently, when I had a chance to talk to a Tesla employee, she mentioned that Plaid X would become available in 2024 at the earliest. That is of course IF Tesla decides to sell one in 2024...

Hi, @itmightgetloud; I think the version distributed in May in Japan was 2022.12.3.2. Is your version 2022.12.3.3? If it's 2022.12.3.3, you may be the first person to receive it! Tesla included the Navigation Routes update originally in 2022.12.3.2, and I have that update. On the day of the...

Near Haneda, long-term parking is tough to find. I don't know, but if you're OK with central Tokyo, you could find non-timed parking lots. They usually charge a fee per day, and you can reserve the spot in advance. https://www.akippa.com/kanto/tokyo/

Among Tesla's countries, Japan is RHD and has the lowest EV penetration. That might be why the delivery date is not displayed for a long time. I have waited for Model 3 for three and a half years.

Out of nine items Tam wrote about conserving energy while parked, these are the most important ones. 1. Sentry Mode-Off 5. Climate Preconditioning - Off 6. Cabin Overheat Protection - Off

@itmightgetloud, welcome to the forum! Tam wrote a good summary of what you should have done before leaving, but first, you need to open the frunk. If you hear the noise when you connect 12V power, 12V is low but still alive, and since you locked the car, it doesn't allow you to open the frunk...

@SebSjoqvist, welcome to the forum! He lives in Australia, I believe. Numerous features are not available in Japan, such as Caraoke, Light Show, Boombox, and Navigate on Autopilot.

yeah, maybe reflecting weaker yen...

@TesQuestJapan , The first Model 3 delivery was I think September 2019 - mine was on September 13th. https://blog.evsmart.net/ev-news/tesla-model-3-japan-delivery-started/ I think you can leave it up to Tesla - there will be Shaken fixed cost + mandatory Jibaiseki insurance, plus parts and...

@nishinari, congratulations on your new car order! Parking is mandatory for the registration, but it is required at the final delivery steps, so I assume it's unnecessary. Again, I would suggest you contact your delivery specialist via email. Here're the steps you (or the Tesla) need to take...

@nishinari, I would search Teskas forum: https://teskas.net/forums/search/%E3%83%95%E3%83%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9D%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC/ but I only found an entry saying that the person purchased through AliExpress: https://ja.aliexpress.com/ If you can write Japanese you...

Wow, this seems bizarre! Did you complain to Tesla?

Welcome to the forum! 100k is indeed the new car registration fee for the shaken, but in fact, Model 3s are homologated in Japan, so it's just Tesla's administration costs. However, note that you need to go to DMV to register the vehicle by yourself in most other countries. In Japan, when you...

It is illegal to obscure the license plates in front and back. A front license plate is mandatory, and the rear is sealed so you can't remove or reattach.

@sagamidaiM3, yes, you are correct. You'll get a mobile connector for free in other markets, but you need to buy it separately in Japan.

Hi, @nishinari, you need to apply for the subsidy after the delivery within 90 days. In addition, if you sell your car, you must return the grant at a prorated amount.

Hi, @Pillage , you can choose whatever you want! No worries.

@Pillage , I have heard of this, but not in Japan. Are you a member of TOCJ (Tesla Owner's Club Japan)? You might ask questions over there...

@TesQuestJapan, thank you for posting! I think TikTok is available in Japan on smartphones, so it's a matter of time coming to Tesla. Tesla Japan might be worried about the bandwidth we use on Tesla mobile LTE network... (NTT DoCoMo charges Tesla per GB basis for bandwidth). Re; Disney+, could...

@apisit , I'm a long-time Model X owner (since it was introduced in Japan in Jan 2017) with 98,000km, so that I can give you some tips. >less range on Model X than Model 3 (even with 100D or Long Range) I believe so. In terms of EPA range, Model 3 LR exceeds at least 499km, whereas my X P100D...

I completely agree that V2G for distributed grid storage doesn't make sense for consumers. However, I still think VTG has some value proposition for the consumers, long term, in emergency backup and "use solar at night" use case. These VTG cases are very similar to Power Wall use cases. Some...

I can list some of my experiences! In which area of Japan do you live? I can also ask Tesla Owner's Club members.

It seems Nissan Ariya chose the same type of motor - with brushes, no permanent magnets. I learned somewhere that at low speed, PM motor gives higher efficiency, but at highway speed, AC induction motor has better efficiency. This brushed motor seems to have the best of both worlds.

Hi, @SteveAlani, unfortunately, Japan is the slowest country to receive updates. We don't even have Navigate-on-Autopilot and Smart-Summon. No, we don't have this year's holiday update yet.

It depends on the type of insurance you get. I can try calculating it for you - New contract? If not, what was your class? 1 to 20, class 20 giving you a 60% discount on the premium. New contract is class 6. Vehicle damage insurance? Many people only insure for injuries and the other party's...

Tesla opened superchargers at a lot of new locations! They now have 36 superchargers across Japan! More to come.

CHAdeMO adapter stock is getting scarce, it seems. Tesla Japan will help you get one so please contact them and explain you really need one.

Hi, According to Tesla Japan, they said they would accommodate the purchase request of the CHAdeMO adapter if the customer requires it. So the adapter is getting rare, but still available, and they understand it is necessary.

Sorry for the late reply. That means you are buying the car when the car is ready and completing the transaction. The vehicle stays at Tesla, waiting for the delivery. In Japan, you need to pay to register the vehicle and get the license plate before you drive 1 meter. So after getting...

Where is the crying button?

Hi, @kelvinyu0923; welcome to the forum! Apologies for not responding sooner. If your parents own a Model 3, the U.S. version of the Wall Connector works just fine. Japanese Tesla models share the same connector and A.C. standards (100V / 200V instead of 120V / 240V). About non-Tesla chargers...

My 2017 Model X had similar issues. It showed Parking assist unavailable message many times while driving on highways. It also displayed that autopilot is not available. However, this message was on for like 10 seconds and disappeared momentarily, rinse and repeat. My FWD open button on the...

FYI https://blog.evsmart.net/english-content/restricted-power-issues-for-porsche-taycan-at-ev-race-series-jevra/ Porsche Taycan has a "restricted power issue" due to insufficient cooling and withdrew from the JEVRA EV race series? I found this video somehow (it's not publicly searchable), and I...

I just wanted to give you a little bit of Japanese flavor on this incident. It looks like the car stopped in front of the ped crossing with autonomous mode on, but the driver pushed the "go" button to override, resulting in the accident. As I don't know why the driver made such a simple...

My 2017 Model X failed this month at approx. 88000km (54700 miles) for the exact symptom as the OP. Out of warranty. Tesla charged 4259 JPY for parts (USD 42) and 15000 JPY ($150) for labor, so they finally charged 21262 JPY ($212). Mine is RHD, so the part number seems to be slightly different...

Probably OT, but I need some advice on my car's HVAC. Attached is the screenshot of SMT, and I'm a long-time user of SMT. The outside temperature was 35 degrees Celsius, and HVAC is set to 23. Can you see why PTC cabin heater is on?? Is my HVAC somehow broken?

Hi, I have an order for Plaid Model X (current 2017 Model X owner) but not Cybertruck - I have seen some of the Twitter users ordering the CT.

Not sure about this exact case, but in general, many billboards are online, and you can purchase the ad online if you are an ad agency and have accounts on systems like Google Ads.

106k USD for the LR, 136k USD for the Plaid. I think other Mercedes / BMW / Audis are more expensive, as Japanese dealers have very high costs with white glove services. Mercedes GLE 300 d 4MATIC 87k BMW xDrive35d 86k Audi Q7 55 TFSI quattro 86k These are the lowest grades without options, so...

Yes. My mother says Camry is a prestigious car... And that 1 inch is crucial. Japanese parking lots are usually double-lined, and my Model X sometimes step on the lines on both sides, which means very rude to other people (I personally don't care much but ordinary people can not do that). Above...

Tough question. IMHO joint ventures do not work, because it slows down the business. The only way to succeed (I would guess) is to hire a perfect Japanese president and his support personnel, who can bridge him and Elon. Many people still don't speak English here, and it's super hard to find an...

Yes, I think Tesla has a chance to gain a particular market share in Japan. As you know, Apple dominated the Japanese smartphone market with a whopping 70% share, making all Japanese smartphone manufacturers bankrupt. Now we only have Sharp. It will take some time, as the general population is...

I have an employee who is going to get Japanese citizenship soon, who is a Chinese national. It's difficult, but not impossible. BTW here, Tesla will need three essential things to penetrate the Japanese market. 1. Cost. Japanese is not getting richer in these 10 to 20 years, of course, except...

@NamaDenki さん、こんにちは、 案外セールスは忙しくて、きちんと連絡を取っているケースのほうが少ないくらいです。 1か月に1回くらい、電話して、確認されたほうが良いかと思います。 こういうのを私は 「逆カルチャーショック」 と呼んでます（汗

@NamaDenki 様、私は電気工事士ではないのですが、コメントいたします。まず現状のケーブルが何のケーブルであるかをお調べいただけますでしょうか？ケーブルにより、許容電流は異なります。仮にVVFケーブルであると仮定すると https://denko-land.com/search/allowable-current1.html#heading-34 許容電流は32A。しかし配管がある場合、配管で熱がこもりますので26Aまで。 26Aを連続で流すと仮定した場合、ブレーカーは0.8がけにしないといけないので、20Aブレーカーということになります。 充電は20Aまでとなります。...

I'm always watching this forum so please feel free to post questions to any threads!

@Flatbat, I removed WiFi settings and a USB stick from the car. For more than two days, my car didn't sleep at all - except, one time, my car reported offline status right after the charge, and it lasted one hour and 11 minutes since I configured TeslaFi to consider "offline" as "asleep."...

Thank you, @Flatbat! First time to hear that WiFi is bad for sleep. My WiFi is unstable as the router is in the car, and it is just a USB stick powered from the ODB2 port. No, my car doesn't sleep for months, and sentry is always OFF. After coming back home, I unregistered WiFi and now the car...
