Tesla launches in Saudi Arabia
Tesla launches operations in Saudi Arabia on April 10, 2025, a sign that Chief Executive Elon Musk has patched up relations with the kingdom and that the oil capital was moving forward with an ambitious electric-vehicle policy. A Tesla Cybertruck and a redesigned Model Y sedan dominated a plaza dotted with palm trees, as the EV maker officially opened for business. A small crowd tried out the vehicles as a massive outdoor video screen showed a Cybertruck plowing through a dusky desert, leaving behind plumes of sand. The kingdom, a major investor in Tesla rival Lucid aims for 30% EV adoption five years from now, up from about 1% last year. Musk engaged in a high-profile feud with the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund over a potential investment nearly a decade ago, but relations between Riyadh and Musk have improved since he took a high-profile role in US President Donald Trump's election campaign and administration.
