The Tesla Cybertruck is making its way back to Japan, this time heading to Fukuoka Prefecture. From September 27 to October 4, 2024, the electric pickup will be on display in Fukuoka, offering a brief window for enthusiasts to see it in person.
This visit follows the Cybertruck’s previous appearance in Tokyo in February 2024, which came after its tour in China. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously noted the company’s “remarkably low” market share in Japan, suggesting that Tesla should aim for a presence comparable to other non-Japanese automakers like Mercedes-Benz or BMW.
Fukuoka, the capital of Kyushu Island, is known for its rich cultural heritage, including various types of porcelain such as Arita, Imari, Satsuma, and Karatsu. The region, which includes neighboring prefectures like Kitakyushu, Nagasaki, and Oita, is also a hub for industries focusing on automobiles, semiconductors, and metal processing.
While the Cybertruck’s unique design has typically been its main attraction, its visit to Fukuoka might spark different interests. Given the area’s industrial background and artisanal traditions, local residents and businesses may find the vehicle intriguing for its engineering and manufacturing aspects, potentially bridging traditional craftsmanship with futuristic design.
As the Cybertruck prepares for its Fukuoka debut, it’s expected to draw significant attention, much like its previous Japanese appearance. Those interested in seeing this innovative vehicle are advised to plan their visit in advance, given the limited timeframe of its stay.
