Elon Musk, the founder and CTO of SpaceX and product architect of Tesla Inc., recently took to Twitter to announce his successful leap in the field of Electric Automated Cars and his future plans. He wrote that he is elated about the upcoming Tesla Autopilot Software and is certain about the algorithms.
Excited about the Tesla Autopilot software release rolling out next month. New control algorithm feels as smooth as silk.

Unfortunately, India is still deprived of automated cars. A few Indian companies tried to enter the market but failed miserably. An inquisitive Indian dropped in a question to Musk about the launch in India. In his tweet, Avinash Singh, said: “@elonmusk Are there any chances for Tesla to release in India in 2017 or 2018? Waiting for that.”

To which, Elon promptly replied:
@TheAvinashSingh Maybe I’m misinformed, but I was told that 30% of parts must be locally sourced and the supply doesn’t yet exist in India to support that.

This disclaimer surely did not go well with the Government of India. Reminding Musk about the business policies in India, the Make in India official account tweeted:

Automated cars may come sooner or later, but you’d have to agree that Elon Musk will think twice before underestimating India again.
