Tesla Model3 Comparison of models sold in Japan and the United States

Sponsored links

It is model 3 that is finally to be sold in Japan, but I found that there is a model (Long Range) that is apparently sold in the US but not sold in Japan.
At first from Standard Range Plus.

Simply multiplying 240 miles by 1.6 will not result in 415 km, but I expect it to be the difference between WLTP and EPA range.
I think 5.6 seconds and 5.3 seconds is the difference between 100 km / h and 60 mph.
The price is quite different. At the current rate, Japan is about 800,000 yen higher.

The Standard Range Plus price of 5.11 million yen in Japan is equivalent to a Long Range not sold in Japan.
If you look at this, you will not feel like buying a standard range plus in Japan.
Roughly speaking, the US Long Range is about the same price, and the cruising distance is about 500 km(310mile), and 0-100 km / h (0-60mph) is also faster with 4.4 seconds. It becomes all-wheel drive of motor 2 from rear wheel drive.

The most popular model 3 is predicted to be Long Range.
Is it not possible to supply to Japan because priority is given to the United States?
Since Tesla wants to deliver cars to the world as quickly as possible, did it sell unpopular Standard Range Plus and Performance in Japan?
But in Japan, cars are usually right-handed.
It’s not a reason to be unsold, right?
If it is really unsold, it will be sold in Japan with the left handle.

And the wheel.
I personally think that the 18-inch isn’t cool, so I would like to choose the 19-inch.
However, it can not be selected in Japan, and can be selected in both the American Standard Range Plus and Long Range.
I felt the size down to 19-inch to just design the 20-inch aluminum wheel of Performance. These are cool.

I thought it would be cool if I bought a standard range plus in Japan and replaced the wheel.
Unlike Model S and Model X when I examined it, P.C.D. (Pitch Circle Diameter) is 114.3.
As my model S is 120, it is extremely small in the aftermarket.
Because the BMW series is 120, the shops and mass retailers specializing in BMW have small sales spaces and have had little preference.
This point is big. I want to differentiate from others.

For example, P.C.D. of the wheel of Model 3 is written as 114.3 as you can see.

If it is model S, it is 120.

Finally I will compare Performance.

The prices of Japan and the United States are almost equal (the yen / dollar rate in June 2019).
This point Tesla is fair. And, I think for a moment, but actually the US Performance has already included an option equivalent to a Japanese Performance Upgrade.
If it is the same specification as the performance of the United States, the Japanese one is about plus 500,000 yen high. However, Model 3 is imported into Japan. I think it is cheaper.

By the way, it seems to be possible to choose white in the interior color if you are in the US but it is optional. White is very beautiful.

I noticed now that there are speakers on the top of the A-pillar. I’m interested in immersive sounds with premium sound.

It will be very popular if the Long Range is sold in Japan.
Conversely, people who know this information are likely to refrain from buying.
