Tesla Japan Expansion Targets 60% More Delivery Locations in 2026

Tesla Plans 60% Expansion of Delivery Locations in Japan

Tesla Japan expansion will increase the company’s delivery locations by 60% in 2026 as demand continues to rise. According to Nikkei, Tesla currently operates 14 service centers in Japan, mainly across major cities, providing inspections, maintenance, and repair services. The planned expansion will concentrate on new locations near existing showrooms, which currently display vehicles but do not handle vehicle deliveries. Alongside company-operated facilities, Tesla is also working with local partners to provide customers with access to more than 50 service locations across Japan, strengthening the company’s nationwide service and delivery coverage.

Japan Sales Growth Supports Network Expansion

Tesla’s expansion follows a sharp increase in sales in Japan. The company delivered approximately 10,600 vehicles in 2025, representing an increase of about 90% YoY. Promotional pricing initiatives contributed to higher demand, while Tesla also benefited from a shift toward in-person sales. The company has expanded its showroom network in Japan from around 10 locations to about 30. The wider retail and service footprint is intended to support growing customer demand and improve access to vehicle delivery, inspections, maintenance, and repairs as Tesla increases its presence in the Japanese passenger-car market.

FSD Supervised Could Further Increase Consumer Interest

Consumer interest could rise further after Tesla rolls out FSD (Supervised) in Japan. The technology is currently being tested in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, with a launch in Japan expected later in 2026. The planned introduction of FSD (Supervised), together with Tesla’s expanding showroom, delivery, and service infrastructure, could support additional interest among Japanese consumers. The company’s combination of higher 2025 deliveries, a larger showroom network, increased delivery capacity, and broader service access through local partners reflects an effort to strengthen its customer-facing operations as demand develops in Japan.
