News Summary

Tesla opened its first showroom in India, yet many early supporters, who pre-booked the Model 3 years ago, expressed disappointment. Vishal Gondal of fitness-tech startup GOQii and other loyalists, frustrated by long delays and refund issues, have lost enthusiasm. Tesla’s lack of communication and high pricing due to import tariffs further dampened excitement. With a limited Supercharger network and no local manufacturing, Tesla’s appeal wanes as India’s EV market grows with domestic players like Tata Motors gaining traction. The brand’s early allure is overshadowed by practical concerns and competition.
