    Hi all
    I'm currently working in the United States, but may need to move to Taiwan soon. I got my Model 3 early last year, and want to see if anyone here has any experience transporting their Tesla (specifically Model 3, but S and X works too) to Taiwan or anywhere in Asia with a similar voltage outlet.
    Thanks!

    Importing a standard ICE car to Taiwan is a major hassle. If there is no special consideration for ZEV, I would not bother. I have a former colleague who took a 3 year old Benz to Taiwan when he moved back and after it was all said and done he said he should never have done it. He should have sold the car in California and bought a used car in Taiwan. Of course, with the Model 3 not available in Taiwan yet, there is some motivation there. However, once you pay the FRT (or whatever they call the new car tax there) you will want to sell it there because you've already increased the value by paying that huge tax.
