Most of the Mori Trust buildings have HPCs installed (Shiroyama, Toranomon, Shinagawa, Tokyo, etc) but Mori Building ones not at all. When I worked at Roppongi Hills I only saw Level 2 charger exclusively for the ugly Mini EVs that BMW pays for. Same family but different mindsets ;)

Hi Hiroshi, I am fine with the left hand as that is the way I drive at my home country, but wife is the one driving the Model S so it has to be right hand. If you saw a black roadster at Shiroyama trust tower charging, it should be me as I work in Ark hills.

If that was an Obsidian Black Roadster, it is very likely me on my way home.

In Japan, there are a few gas stations that have supercharges, but still a weird feeling when entering and have all the stuff guiding me to the gas pump ;)

Hi Hiroshi, My roadster is my daily commuter so I use it at lot but if you cannot charge it at home, it totally makes sense to install at least a 200V circuit where you park you car the most after home. I go to Shizuoka every other weekend and have there a 200V/30A electric stove connector that...

If the engine roar sound comes as an option for the Roadster, I want it! Streets in Japan are very narrow that people have to use the pavement. I hate unleashing the horn on them so the roaring engine option would come in handy :-) Adjustable volume and switching engine sound to most popular...

I help running the world's biggest casino as a high-frequency gambling (aka trading) systems architect.

Yesterday night when I needed to commute back from Shizuoka to Tokyo, my wife seemed to be sleepy and tired. I felt sorry about her so I said "you can drive my Tesla Roadster if you want". By far, that was her best 1.5 hrs of the day!

I've just received Today one of the "final five" here in Japan :-)

If I am not mistaken, last I heard from the dealer here in Japan, there are about 60 roadsters left in the whole Europe/Asia. I am getting mine this Friday so I guess my VIN will be 23xx or 24xx.
