The company just massively increased its potential sales by adding pre-orders in India (population 1.25 billion), Brazil (200 million), in addition to South Africa, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Ireland and potentially others. I say potentially others because the expansion is based on a tweet from CEO Elon Musk — given Twitter’s 140 character limit, there could be more countries that Musk wasn’t able to fit into his message. (We’ve checked in with Tesla to ask exactly which new countries it will sell in.)
Amit Bhawani, who runs PhoneRadarBlog, an advisory blog on smartphones and gadgets is among the first to pre-order the Model 3 in India. The Model 3, if imported into India as a complete built unit (CBU), will attract 125% customs duty and would be priced around Rs 50 lakh, equivalent to the basic version cost of Mercedes-Benz E class saloon. Venture capital investor Mahesh Murthy too ordered the vehicle. He took to Twitter to express his pleasure on booking the car.
