Hi all.
I'm currently in Europe and I'm moving to Japan next summer.
Me and my wife are planning to purchase a Model 3 LR in Japan, ready to be delivered as soon as we arrive in Osaka (June-July).
The current ETD in Japan is 12-16 weeks, so it's a bit early to order. However, time passes and prices are going up.
I don't want to fall into FOMO, but in the last three months the price went up about ¥500,000/$4370 (pic attached).
So the idea is ordering the car now and postpone the delivery by about three-four months.
I wanted to understand if it's possible, so I called several Tesla dealers here in Europe and they all said it's not doable.
My wife, however, is currently in Japan and talked with the Tesla Shinsaibashi dealer. She explained the situation (mentioning the prices going up) and the Tesla guy said it wouldn't be a big deal to buy it right now (sign contract); they would keep the car (didn't mention where) and we would finally get it when we arrive.
My wife said he sounded a little "pushy".
She'll visit the store next week and I'm inclined to accept their offer if they guarantee I can accept/reject the delivery when I can physically check the car.
Also, I want to know where they are going to keep the car for three-four months.
What do you think?
Thanks
