Indians who pre-ordered Teslas in 2016 are giving up and chasing refunds


Elon Musk dodged another India visit, and many who placed $1,000 Tesla deposits admit the dream is over, while fanboys keep the faith.

Musk’s will-he-won’t-he relationship with India, in posts to X since 2017.“People who booked around eight years ago aren’t the ones to fret on [the] $1,000 amount,” Yugal Joshi, partner at global research firmEverest Group, told Rest of World. Tesla is “looking for a liberalized duty regime as well because it’s a huge undertaking they’re doing,” Mahesh Murthy, founder of venture capital fund Seedfund and digital marketing firm Pinstorm, told Rest of World.
