    Country: Japan Model: Long Range Model 3, Black/Black Ordered March 17th VIN assigned May 12 Original Delivery Date: 17th of June, skipped to June 30 because I was abroad I'm sharing this info because I've been wondering for so long whether it'd be possible to skip the assigned delivery day by...

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Just delivered. All fine, except the Toy Box doesn't include Sonic the Hedgehog, which I'm a big fan of. I'm still undecided about installing the rear spoiler:

    Price trends in Japan

    1M price increase in three months. ETD: February/March 2023. I'm starting to see my ready to be delivered (06/30) car as an investment. 😁

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    So we contacted our SA this morning to explain the situation, and he was kind enough to postpone our delivery until June 30. If everything goes smoothly, we should have no problem getting our car that day. I ordered the mobile connector and console trays and have already received them at our...

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    I was assigned a delivery date today (March 17). I won't be in Japan until June 27, so I am asking now if it's possible to delay delivery by two weeks. I will keep you posted on this. I am sure someone is or will be in a similar situation.

    Difference in acceleration between Model 3 LR w/boost and Model 3P?

    I watched this video long ago to convince myself the LR would be good enough, however I found it kind of odd. How reliable is that? Does it even make sense?

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    We are preparing for delivery these days with our SA. At the moment we expect the car to be delivered by the end of June. We have not received any update from the date of order until the VIN has been assigned. Now we are filling out the documents for registration (parking, license plate...

    Difference in acceleration between Model 3 LR w/boost and Model 3P?

    I love your car. I'm planning to do something similar with my LR as soon as I get it delivered. Paint the sport wheels black and install the spoiler. Thanks for sharing. I wanted to see how it looks in real life.

    Difference in acceleration between Model 3 LR w/boost and Model 3P?

    Ok, probably this is the right place to ask: Last year I rented a Model 3 Performance simply because I was curious to test the car. Needless to say, I fell in love with the car. I love speed, but I'm moving to Japan and won't have much opportunity to drive faster because of the strict...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Black Model 3LR AWD, black interior, 19" sport wheels, no FSD. Ordered March 17 in Japan. VIN received May 12. Right now it seems like the black LRs are taking priority. On the (automated) email received on the 12th of May the SA said that if everything goes smoothly, we should receive them...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I'm not following this thread and I haven't read the previous pages, so I hope I'm not repeting something that's been said already. I ordered a Black Model 3 Long Range, black interiors, 19" sport wheels, no FSD, for delivery in Japan on the 17th of March. Made in Shanghai. Me and other...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ok, I didn't understand that this seems to be a North American problem (until now). Since this is the only Tesla forum I read, I had no idea that things seem to be going well in Shanghai (aside from lockdowns). I thought it was a far question too :D And yes, I'll ask SA, but I've a feeling he...

    Do you have any idea if the Model 3s being produced in Shanghai these days are equipped with Matrix headlights?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    100%. I kept monitoring the situation since October. I wanted to buy then, but I couldn't take delivery until the end of June, so I had to wait until mid-March to order. Long story short, the same car has gone from ¥5,300,000/$41,000 to ¥7,100,000/$55,000 (today). The good news is that the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Japan was the first (if not the only) country not to include the mobile connector, and that really annoyed me. Prices have been going up steadily. In the last three months, there's been a price increase every two weeks. If they raised the price to $1200 instead of $1000 and kept the mobile...

    March 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    I haven't read the previous page, so I hope I'm not repeting something that's been said already. I ordered a Black Model 3 Long Range for delivery in Japan. Made in Shanghai. Me and other Japanese buyers received the VIN yesterday.
  18. nishinari

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    It seems they are prioritizing the Black Long Range orders. While most people can't wait to get their car, right now I'm hoping there'll be a slight delay since I won't be in Japan until the end of June. I hope they'll be flexible enough to wait a few days...

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    I'm just writing to let you know that the SA contacted me today and says the car is being produced. He said that soon I'll receive the documents. Usually the VIN is assigned shortly after. In the email he wrote that if they keep the current pace, my car will be delivered by the end of June...

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    Finally I get to offer someone some tips :D I was on the other side until now. This (circled in red) is what the "design locked" looks like on the website: Basically, it means you've completed the first two steps. Until then, you can still change the configuration of your car. The list was...

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    Yeah, right. Here you can find the Teskas order spreadsheet, so you can compare your situation with other buyers: モデル3納車進捗チェッカー I've added some notes in case you don't understand Japanese. Some mid-February orders were among the last cars delivered (end of March). After that, we're all in the...

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    I actually don't want to receive the car faster than expected. I've no problem with a month or two delay, if that's the case. The problem is that unlike other buyers, my EDD never showed up. And I was wondering if this is normal. 🙄 When I ordered the car (mid-March), the order page said it...
  26. nishinari

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    It's all clear except for the fact that my EDD never showed up. It doesn't come go randomly. It was never there, neither on the online website nor in the mobile app. I've tried searching other threads and forums with no luck. I can't find any other buyers who are in the same situation. 🤔

    No EDD. Is this normal?

    I ordered my Long Range Model 3 in mid-March and both the Tesla app and website show no EDD. I am attaching screenshots just to ask you, is this normal? In the North American forum (M3LR waiting room) all users mention their EDD, but I can not see any on my screen. The only one I have is my RN...

    Price trends in Japan

    Another round of price increases for the Model 3. The same white model in the original post is selling for ¥6,928,000, with the option of downgrading from 19" Sport Wheel to 18" Aero Wheels. The exact same model (Black LR 19") I ordered mid-March, instead, increased about ¥700,000. I don't...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    On average, in Japan, one month and two weeks pass between the VIN being assigned and the actual delivery. The doubts I had were about the steps after the order was completed. I thought that some kind of ETD is displayed on the account page, but if I am not mistaken, it only happens when AFTER...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I check the account page every day. I have not yet been assigned VIN and there is no expected delivery date in my case. I thought this was normal, but I am reading about some new buyers with an ETD in months, so I am wondering if I am missing something. Overview screenshots attached: Next Steps...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I feel a little silly asking, but: where can you see the "date"? I ordered on March 17 on the Japanese website and so far I have no updates. We should get an estimated delivery date after we are assigned the VIN, is that right?

    Serious question: can the SA manually change delivery dates, prioritize other clients, etc?

    CHAdeMO Missing From Tesla-Japan Website

    Questions for all the Tesla owners in Japan: how often are you actually using the CHAdeMO adapter? I'm thinking to rely on the mobile connector and Superchargers, saving on CHAdeMO. Does it make sense?

    Giga Shanghai China

    Thanks for your message. When you say "people still have May delivery dates", what are you actually referring to? Previously I mentioned my car will be supposedly delivered at the end of June because, when I ordered it (March 17th), the site was estimating a 12-16 weeks delivery. As of today I...

    Giga Shanghai China

    Yes, that's what I was assuming, unless they speed the production up once they're back to work. Are there any precedents? What happened during previous lockdowns? I ordered a Model 3 Long Range in Japan. Expected delivery is end of June.

    Model 3 incentives/subsidies

    So they've finally released the new details: http://www.cev-pc.or.jp/hojo/pdf/R3ho/R3ho_meigaragotojougen.pdf If I'm not wrong, all Tesla cars are eligible for 650,000¥ subsidy now. This is a good news for me as I've recently ordered the car. Worst case scenario my Long Range will be delivered...

    19” Sport Wheels Covers.

    Hi everyone. I thought this way easy, but I couldn't find covers for Tesla 19" Sport Wheels online. My idea was painting them black, but since the prices for a paint job in Japan are pretty crazy (over $2000) I was looking for a cheaper option. I really like the Rimetrix Orbital Black, but they...

    Missing parking information

    Thanks for your kind reply, Hiroshi. That's pretty much what we've been told by the specialist when we met him last January, but I was wondering whether the order process moves forward despite the missing details. I know about other Tesla owners who had their entire order process stucked because...

    Missing parking information

    Ok, guys, so I ordered my M3LR about ten days ago. We're moving from Europe to Japan end of June and I've planned the order so that (hopefully) the car would be delivered around that time. Worst case, we'll skip the first delivery and wait for the next. Since we don't have a house and a parking...

    Buying a Tesla in Japan - what they don’t explain well or at all

    I was literally shocked to know the mobile connector is not included. I couldn't believe it. Since my wife is taking care of the ordering process, I kept telling her she must have misunderstood or something. If they raised the price 30,000¥ beforehand including the connector I wouldn't even...

    Black Spoiler for Model 3 Long Range.

    Thanks! I'll definitely ask on Teskas. I finally placed the order of my Black Model 3 LR today and I'm almost officially part of the Tesla Owners Club. :D I had to wait a long time (and it was costly) because we're moving back to Japan from Europe and we couldn't order the car earlier...
