Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) is set to double its service center network in Japan as part of a significant infrastructure expansion aimed at enhancing after-sales services and its Supercharger network nationwide. This initiative reflects Tesla’s strategy to strengthen its presence in a market traditionally dominated by local automakers and comes amid a surge in sales, which rose 90% year-over-year in 2025, totaling around 10,600 vehicles, up from 5,900 in 2022.
The company is also increasing the deployment of V4 Superchargers in major cities like Tokyo and Osaka to facilitate faster charging for its newer Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. By establishing additional service centers, Tesla aims to provide better support for inspections, repairs, and maintenance, thus addressing consumer concerns about long-distance travel with electric vehicles.
Currently, Tesla sources a large portion of its components from Japan, with Panasonic being the crucial supplier for battery cell production. The expansion includes utilizing turnkey properties that were previously maintenance facilities to manage costs effectively.
