As per a news story by Drive Australia, the 2022 Tesla Model Y SUV has finally arrived in one of the largest countries on Earth, yet the biggest continent across the globe.

While the Tesla Model Y debuted in the US way back in 2019, the Australian market had to wait for three years to get their hands on the electric SUV offering of the EV maker.

Drive Australia notes that rumors have previously hinted that the Model Y is inching closer to reaching the shores of the Aussie.

Apart from Australia, the Model Y also took some time before its much-awaited arrival in Japan.

According to the latest report of Teslarati, the hit electric SUV now welcomes orders from folks in the Land of Rising Sun, none other than Japan.

The news outlet further suggests that the global market expansion of the Tesla Model Y hints that the EV production at its Giga Shanghai facility is ramping up once again.

The opening of Model Y orders in Japan and Australia requires the production of the electric SUV to significantly increase to feed the demand in these two massive nations.

It is worth noting that the production of the Model Y in Giga Shanghai, unfortunately, had to be put on hold amid the raging effect of COVID-19 in the Chinese city.
