It won't succeed in India as far as I know . There is a lot of infrastructure lacking here too which will pose a big problem but even if that is solved the market is not huge yet , people here aren't yet buying electric cars . Already settled and popular companies like TATA only are struggling to sell theirs so it won't be easy for Tesla but it seems like our govt is in full support for bringing Tesla over here

Ah that's too bad. I didn't know too much about it but I did remember Ford or some other US company failing. That's why I was wondering if what the video was saying about the troubles was true or not. Your response shows that its likely to fail given the amount of cars are low and the infrastructure is missing for EV charging.

The whole automobile industry itself isn't doing well right now in India for the past 2 years .
Regarding the infrastructure , yeah only in our national capital we can see sufficient infrastructure requried for Electric vehicles , even in other metro cities it is lacking .
And the Hybrid vehicles are way too costly for an average person .

Things can change quickly though. Do not underestimate how rapidly infrastructure can be deployed. There is a plant in china where they are building 10K charging stations a year (in addition to the ones in Nevada I believe).
Musk moves very quickly.

It can happen over here too but a lot of infrastructure projects are already on a halt due to backlash from Environmentalists so it will take time for India to fully setup whats required for Electric vehicles .
If at all it succeeds , I think the Indian manufacturers will have an upper hand because of the subsidies being given to them by various state governments.

The environmentalist strike again. It's common here in California since they are so stubborn and reject any housing/water solutions.

Yeah but in some cases ( 2 out of 10 ) the environmentalists are right . Here the government is trying to expand roads in Himalayan mountain region but to be honest it is one of the fragile ecosystem in our country and it is not feasible but the government isn't dropping the project.

Profits over what's right in the eyes of the government. I am not surprised as everyone has different views. I would think adding infrastructure in the cities to be more important. Once that takes off, people will want roads and it expands slowly.

Yeah I totally support infrastructure in the city but in fragile Himalayas we should be very careful because it is our national heritage and once damaged it will take decades to recover.
