Pure electric vehicles account for only 1% of Japan's social automobile sales, far lower than China and some European countries, but the Japanese pure electric car market seems to be starting to start.
According to market research, Tesla's annual sales in Japan are expected to increase significantly, exceeding 5,200 units in 2021, an increase of more than 174% year-on-year. With Tesla's Berlin factory coming online, a large number of Chinese-made Teslas will enter Japan in 2022.
In February last year, the price of the Model 3, the main car in Japan, was significantly lowered, boosting sales. In fact, Japan is one of Tesla's earliest Asian markets, and tesla's first supercar sold to Asia in 2010 was in Japan, which shows musk's emphasis on the Japanese market. It is worth noting that as early as 2010, Tesla Musk predicted that one day, Japan would become Tesla's second largest market in the world, second only to the United States.
Some analysts point out that Tesla pure trams are popular among young and wealthy people in Japan. Analysts at Tokyo-based Tokai Research said Tesla's share price surpassed Toyota's, which greatly increased Tesla's popularity in Japan, and Tesla has even become a status symbol in Japan.
