Tesla launched its operations in Saudi Arabia on Thursday, recording a new chapter in the expansion of this company globally, while Riyadh seeks to adopt the use of electric cars widely.
The “CyptraRAR Tesla” and “Wi -Wi -Model” cars dominated a yard full of palm trees, with the opening of the manufacturer of electric cars officially.
A small crowd tried the two cars during a display on a huge outdoor video screen that showed a cyberraircry roaming a desert left behind sand columns.
Tesla needs new clients. On the global level, this American company recorded a 13% decrease in sales of the first quarter of the year, and it has been the weakest performance for nearly 3 years, driven by violent reactions on the role of Elon Musk in President Donald Trump’s management, the increasing competition and the status of its products.
The Kingdom – a major investor in the competition company, aims to adopt the use of electric cars by 30% after 5 years from now, compared to about 1% last year.
With the opening of the first showroom and a service center in the Saudi capital, Tesla will start in the Saudi market after a long wait.
Various models will be available in the showroom, including Model 3, Wi -Cyberbarter, and temporary stores will be opened in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.
Data from the Statista data collection platform – based on data from the electronic website to monitor shipping stations – showed that Saudi Arabia in 2024 had 101 charging stations for electric cars only.
The government announced plans to expand shipping networks as part of its sustainable goals.
The Kingdom established the infrastructure company for electric vehicles, which aims to increase the number of shipping outlets to 5,000 by 2030, equivalent to about 50 such as the current number.
