Sales of Tesla Inc.’s Model 3 appear to be taking off in Japan since the firm cut prices on the mid-range electric sedan last month.

Delivery times for the vehicle have expanded to between 12 and 16 weeks, compared with six to eight weeks before the price reduction, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Reservations for test drives are also harder to get, with wait times now at more than three weeks instead of one week, said the person, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public.

Tesla cut the price of the long-range version of the Model 3 by 24% last month to ¥4.99 million ($46,700), putting it in reach of consumers seeking to buy low-end luxury vehicles. With Japan’s government pushing to ban sales of cars with gasoline-only engines by the mid-2030s, Tesla’s price cut is putting Japan’s automakers on notice for a potential price war in the world’s third-largest car market.
