New Delhi: With intentions to expand internationally, Elon Musk's electric car firm, Tesla, is grabbing media attention. Tesla is scheduled to debut in Saudi Arabia first, even though its arrival into the Indian market has been a hot topic. Reports have confirmed that the business has decided on a showroom location in Mumbai. On April 10, Tesla announced in an official post that it will make its electric vehicle debut in Saudi Arabia.
Tesla Automobiles Will Arrive on Saudi Arabian Roads
This is a big step for the electric vehicle market because Tesla is entering a nation that is well-known for its huge oil output. A PwC analysis from September states that little over 1% of all cars sold in Saudi Arabia are electric vehicles. On April 10, the official Tesla launch event will be held in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh.
Is BYD Gaining Ground on Tesla?
Tesla has experienced difficulties in sales despite its global expansion. Tesla's sales decreased by 1% in 2023. The Chinese EV behemoth BYD, which surpassed Tesla in global sales for 2024, is the main rival. Recent sources indicate that BYD surpassed Tesla, which made $98 billion in sales of electric and hybrid vehicles during the same time period, with $107 billion.
The anticipated arrival of Tesla in India
Tesla is now closer than ever to launching in India, where Elon Musk has long alluded to the company's arrival. CLSA estimates that the most reasonably priced Tesla vehicle in India will cost between ₹35 lakh and ₹40 lakh. The base versions of Tesla start at about $35,000 in the US. Tesla may present a significant threat to the nation's established EV brands if it can successfully launch electric vehicles there at a competitive price of ₹25 lakh.
Tesla is preparing for a rapid worldwide expansion as its preparations for India are moving forward and its Saudi launch is quickly approaching. All eyes will be on Tesla's strategy for entering new areas as the EV market becomes more competitive.
