    Cyber Truck in Tokyo

    Hi all, I came across this on Instagram. Does anyone know where the Cybertruck is going to next? I'd like to see it, but I don't want to travel all the way to Tokyo if there's a chance it might come up to Tohoku. 😅

    Battery and Drive Unit Warranties ending soon. What next?

    Hi Hiroshiy, thanks for sharing this. I was surprised at the price too. Yours seems a lot more reasonable. :D Maybe Tesla is just trying to scare me into purchasing a newer model.

    Battery and Drive Unit Warranties ending soon. What next?

    I test-drove the MY down in Tokyo once and sat in the highland/refreshed M3 which I liked. Not sure when we will see a refreshed MY but that would probably be my preference if I went down the brand new route. I do like the MX but I'm just a sucker for those doors, the 3rd-row seats in the MX are...

    Battery and Drive Unit Warranties ending soon. What next?

    I just wanted to add that I asked my local Tesla Dealer what the cost would be and they came back with 2,300,000 yen for the HV battery and 2,000,000 yen for the drive unit.

    Battery and Drive Unit Warranties ending soon. What next?

    Thanks for the reply. I'd be interested to know what made you feel the MY was the right choice over the Plaid MS, aside from having RHD ofcourse. Thanks for the reply. Where did you get that price from for a new battery? That price is getting close to 2nd hand Model 3 territory. Given the...

    Battery and Drive Unit Warranties ending soon. What next?

    Hi all, my 2016 Model S P90D drive unit and battery warranties are ending in May 2024. I was just wondering if anyone here has found a way to extend the battery warranty either with Tesla or a 3rd party in Japan? I looked at possibly trading in my car with Tesla for something newer almost 1...

    Tesla Wheel Lug Nuts for Model S

    Sadly not anymore. But I did notice something that went completely over my head until I put the new lugs on. When I purchased my car back in Feb 2021, it only came with summer tires and I live up North, so I needed to put winter tires on them immediately. At that time when I switched the tires...

    Tesla Wheel Lug Nuts for Model S

    After what feels like searching through all of Amazon Japan and various other retailers, I've decided to go with the offer from my local Tesla dealer. While there are some M14x1.5 lug nut options in Japan, they all seem to be too short at 1.4inches. Need 1.6inches. The M14x1.5 lug nuts here in...

    Tire shops that work on Tesla

    Fuji Tires - Bought new summer tires off Rakuten and paid Fuji Tires to install them on my 21" rims.They charged me a more expensive labor fee because I didn't buy the tires from them directly but this was still way cheaper than buying the tires directly from them. Yellow Hat - Up to 19" (Some...

    Tesla Wheel Lug Nuts for Model S

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for an alternative to the OEM lug nuts Tesla Japan is offering to sell to me. Their asking price is ¥12963. The price seems reasonable but I'm curious if anyone has found any better options? Aluminium / not steel Colouring Cheaper 😅 The OEM tire lug nut size for the...

    Tesla & shaken... Anyone done this on their own?

    Hi there, I appreciate the really long detailed replay. I actually went ahead and did self shaken on my Model S back in early Feb. My experience was pretty much the same as yours, so I've listed below what was different in my case. At my test center, you have to make a reservation which you...

    Selling your Tesla

    Hi Daniel, what is the car showing for range when fully charged? Do you have a Tesla Wall Connector you could include too? Could you share the price? Thanks.

    Model 3 insurance and general maintenance in Japan

    It does seem pretty low, but there are so many variables that are taken into consideration when calculating insurance that it's difficult to compare one insurance plan to another. I drive a 1st gen Model S P90D and am currently paying just under 90,000yen a year with MS&AD (Mitsui Sumitomo...

    Tesla & shaken... Anyone done this on their own?

    Hi TesQuestJapan, How was your self-shaken experience with your Model 3? I'm taking my Model S in for self-shaken next week and was just wondering if you had any tips or advice regarding self-shaken for Tesla / EV's in general. I have experience doing self-shaken 4 years ago with my old Honda...

    ABRP wrong pricing for japan Superchargers

    I have a similar issue with the Tesla App on my Smartphone. The smartphone language is set to British English, so the Tesla app will only show £ and not ¥. So whenever I check my Charge Stats in the app, I have to remind myself that £ = ¥. 😅

    Chademo Charging Adapter Fault

    Sadly no. However, when I tried using the Chademo charger where I first experienced the issue, I was able to charge without any errors. I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time around. I'm wondering if the chademo charger software was updated. If I experience the issue again, I'll post an...

    Wheel alignment results

    @hiroshiy Thank you for taking the time to put together these numbers. It's much appreciated. Is it common practice in Japan that the wheel alignment inspection and alteration are separate? I'm from the UK and usually, when we take a vehicle in for an alignment check, the cost includes any...

    Wheel alignment results

    Hi all, upon switching out the summer tires to my winter tires, I noticed I had significant inner wear on all 4 of my summer tires. I've been told that innerwear on tires is common but even so I felt it was best to get an alignment check just to be sure. I live in Sendai, Tohoku, and my...

    Chademo Charging Adapter Fault

    Hi everyone, I drive a Model S 2016 (1st Gen) P90D here in Japan. Recently I've been experiencing issues with charging using my Chademo Adapter. Before I could charge without issue and charging speed seemed to be dependent on my car battery condition and the Chademo charger capability. Now...

    Question About Winter Tires

    @mk677, @hiroshiy, Thanks for the advice and information. In the end, I decided to purchase some 2nd hand Tesla Model S (discontinued) 19" base alloys from Yahoo auction which has Michelin X-ICE XI3 tires already attached. The tire condition looks good with about 6mm of tread remaining on...

    Question About Winter Tires

    Hi mk677. Ironically I did come across some of these when looking on Yahoo Auction. So, yes they can be found in Japan, but they're not really an off the shelve purchase here. More of an online order them from overseas purchase, which means just the tires alone for 4 of them is almost the...

    Question About Winter Tires

    Hi Andy11, thanks for the advice. I actually went into a Yellowhat today and they said something similar, though the woman was specifically saying they didn't want to jack it up as it was an EV. I'm going to do some window shopping tomorrow and if I can't find anything, I'll just have to go...

    Question About Winter Tires

    I'll be picking up my Model S soon and the car will only have summer tires when I take delivery. Does anyone have any recommendations for where to go to get some winter tires? I have a few more snowboard trips I want to do, so I absolutely need them. I'm interested in 245/45R19 winter tires...

    Is undercoat protection necessary on a Tesla?

    Living in Sendai and going snowboarding often during winter season, I've always been told to add undercoat protection to my cars to protect it from snow, ice, water, sand, sea salt etc etc. Is this at all necessary on Teslas? I've read on the other community forums that the underside of the...

    Hi again Hiroshiy. Thank you so much for all the useful info! I'm going to have a look after dinner! I might be back with more questions... ;) Thanks again!

    How to charge using CHAdeMO and other non-Tesla EV chargers in Japan.

    Hi everyone, I live in Sendai up in Tohoku where sadly there aren't many superchargers. So aside from charging mainly at home, I assume I will also be charging at service stations that offer charging via CHAdeMO. What is the experience like for charging using a CHAdeMO here in Japan? When I had...

    Question about Tesla Wall Connector

    Just an update. My wall charger was delivered to my home yesterday. I got the Gen 3 wall connecter (Long Cable) version. I'm 99.9% sure it's free as I'm not seeing the cost of it on my final invoice. It might just be my low level Japanese, but there was no clear indication that I was getting...

    Question about Tesla Wall Connector

    Hi Hiroshiy, thanks for the reply. My Japanese isn't very good, so I think I just had a miscommunication with my salesman at Tesla. So I found out that they're including the wall connector for free (I believe... :rolleyes:) with my 2nd hand Model S but I will have to pay for the full price of...

    Question about Tesla Wall Connector

    Hi everyone, I've purchased a 2nd hand Model S. Just waiting to take delivery later this month. Exciting times! Tesla Japan quoted me a rough ballpark estimate to install the Wall Connector for about 30,0000 to 40,0000yen which I thought was pretty ridiculous and put me on the search for...

    Selling your Tesla

    Hi Andy, I wish I knew you were looking to sell back in December last year. :( How much are you looking to sell the car for and are you able to share any photos here? I know there are a few car dealerships that are selling 2nd hand Tesla's, so you could go on to kakaku.com / car sensor, take...
