Elon Musk in response to a post by the Unofficial Tesla India Club has indicated that a 2021 launch in India is very possible. This comes right after reports that Tesla is opening an R&D center near Bengaluru.

With a lot of focus from GoI on electrification and coupled with what can only be called a growing EV ecosystem, A well positioned product from Tesla could give that much needed push to galvanise the Auto industry.

And given India problems with a reliable and stable power grid, their portfolio of products built around energy storage could disrupt another industry as well.

If Tesla and Elon are serious about India, we have a lot to look forward to in the coming years.

Apart from the bragging rights, buying a CBU doesn’t make sense at all! But it’s a start nevertheless. I’m more worried about the redtapes we have in iur County. I just hope it will not push Mr. Musk to take some knee jerk decisions.
