Tesla’s CEO and founder Elon Musk has been calling out the high tax rates, that India charges on the import of cars, as a major delay in the rollout of electric cars in the country.
Following Musk, Volkswagen and Hyundai, among other global brands, also urged the government to lower the duties on the import of electric vehicles in India.
In response, the Central government indirectly signalled that the import duty on electric vehicles could be reduced if the company promises to manufacture luxury four-wheelers in India.
The new spy photos were shared by Tesla Club India on Twitter. In the shared photos, two completely camouflaged Tesla Model S cars were seen parked close to each other. The post suggested that the cars are parked on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, carrying Maharashtra-registered number plates.
