Tesla is the global leader when it comes to electric cars as it revolutionized this space single-handedly for over a decade now.

These famous Indians bought Tesla cars without ever seeing or test-driving them! That is something only the most affluent celebrities could afford. Test driving is the first step before buying any car. But since Tesla doesn’t operate in India, there is no way to have a look at the car in the flesh or get to test drive it. Nonetheless, that didn’t stop these celebs to jump on the EV bandwagon and splurge on their Teslas. Here is the list of these prominent personalities.

Reportedly, this Tesla is not in India as it is a left-hand version. Riteish also owns a swanky BMW iX in India.

Tesla India Launch on Anvil

A team of C-suite executives and managers from the supply chain, business, and manufacturing divisions of Tesla were on a visit to India a couple of weeks ago. They, most likely, discussed the plans to set up manufacturing in India after they were seeking to reduce the import duties on cars above the $40,000 price tag. Currently, an import tax of over 100% is imposed if a car over $40,000 is brought to India via the CBU route. Hence, the discussion might have been along those lines in addition to plans for the manufacturing facilities for domestic and export markets.
