Carl Pei bhai has the answer to how Elon Musk could open his Tesla factory in India

Nothing CEO Carl Pei - known for his innovative approaches in the tech industry - has extended a humorous yet insightful suggestion to Elon Musk regarding the establishment of a Tesla factory in India. With the imminent launch of "Nothing Phone 2a" in India next month, Pei's witty recommendation garnered attention amidst discussions surrounding Tesla's potential market entry.

In a recent social media interaction, Carl Pei proposed that Elon Musk should consider adopting the username "Elon Bhai" on a popular platform like X, humorously implying that this simple change could facilitate the process of opening a Tesla factory in India. Pei himself took the name 'Carl Bhai', which quickly gained attraction on X (previously Twitter).

Pei's tongue-in-cheek remark sparked a series of amusing responses from users. From "Elon Bhau" to "Elon Gaaru," suggestions poured in, each tailored to resonate with the regional dialects and identities of different states.

Amidst the lighthearted banter, discussions on Tesla's entry into the Indian market gained traction. The Economic Times reported on Tesla's imminent foray into India. Notably, discussions are revolving around potential concessions on import duties for electric cars, a crucial factor for Tesla's investment considerations.

Currently, India imposes significant import duties on cars valued above a certain threshold, presenting challenges for companies like Tesla seeking to establish a manufacturing presence in the country. Tesla has expressed willingness to invest substantially in India, depending upon favourable policy changes that could alleviate import duty burdens during the initial phase of operations.

Besides, Pei is also gearing up to launch a new Nothing Phone 2a smartphone and the latest move about changing his name and sensationalising the topic is part of his marketing strategy to gain a lot of attraction before the announcement of the next Nothing phone. The company just recently confirmed that the new Phone 2a device will be making its debut all over the world on March 5, which is just a few weeks away. The same handset is also expected to be showcased at the upcoming MWC event, which is set to take place on February 26 this year. The Nothing Phone 2a will likely be a toned down version of the original Phone (2) smartphone and will be cheaper than the Phone (1), something that the brand indirectly confirmed in an official video.
