Overview

  • Tesla will officially launch in Saudi Arabia on April 10 with an event at Riyadh's Bujairi Terrace.
  • The event will showcase Tesla's electric vehicles, solar energy solutions, autonomous driving technology, and the Optimus humanoid robot.
  • Saudi Arabia's EV market is small but poised for growth due to government incentives, including tax breaks, subsidies, and charging infrastructure development.
  • Lucid Motors, backed by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, already has a factory in the country, intensifying competition for Tesla.
  • Tesla's expansion into Saudi Arabia comes as the company faces declining sales in Europe and heightened global competition in the EV market.
