Inspired by @JakeLangford6, I dug a bit into Tesla Japan website. Yes, I can find the hidden VINs.
What does it mean to have a listing stating "limited availability", yet associated w/ a specific VIN?

While fiddling around to make VINs show up, I found a reference to "showroom_discount" w/ value of "599300". In USD, that's about $5,450 for a car on sale for ~$95K. One CPO car on US site I looked at had "0". Any potential buyer in JPN should check it out.😁

Another example. I can also tell this car is in Osaka.
No luck on this CPO. "discount" field is empty.☹️
Looks like "showroom_discount" is limited to inventory (i.e. kind of new), and not CPO. This "new" 2017 Model X is getting ~$25K discount! Location is blank on this one for some reason.
It's possible that these discounts are from the original prices, i.e. listed price is already discounted. I can't find the original price there, so I can't tell.
This seems to work for any locale where inventories are listed. Here's one in Canada, w/ 9K "showroom_discount".
