Tesla's first showroom in India opens in India's Financial capital, Mumbai on 15th of July 2025.
This move signifies Tesla's intensified efforts to establish a presence in India, following discussions between Elon Musk and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
While the company plans to directly sell imported vehicles, it currently has no manufacturing operations in India, despite the government's incentives for local production.
Tesla is also recruiting for various roles in Mumbai and New Delhi as it prepares to face competition from established players like BYD and Tata Motors.

Does India have the necessary infrastructure in place to supports EV's?
The US does not. The rush to eliminate fossil fuel powered autos in the US was a political stunt that was never possible. It would take twenty years and the creation of thousands of new nuclear power plants and an entire grid upgrade to accomplish all EV transportation. The mandate in the US was reversed.
Before Elon Musk supported Trump, everyone loved his cars. They were the top of the line EV in the US.
Perfect vehicle for those that had available and reliable charging options.
Will you go look that them?

Aren't Elon Musk's cars not loved now? The breakup between the two hasn't changed anything physically or feature-wise in his cars, isn't it?

@Vikingswest1 Whatever horrifying explanation you just put up here is for real? I mean are these kinds of things literally happening there in the US? Or is Elon Musk fearing that something like this can happen?

The only thing that has changed about Musk's vehicles is the public opinion of Musk.
His vehicles are still the top tier EV on the planet.
The campaign to bash him, destroy his vehicles, attack the drivers of his vehicles, firebomb Tesla dealerships and post negative reviews is directly related to his connection with Trump and DOGE.
The left in the US are deranged at times.

Just now
I hope Indians do not buy Tesla.
If they can't make them in India and create jobs for Indians they should be subject to huge tarrifs to help Tata and BYD
