BHPian | ![]() There is a tweet by Harsh Goenka who is the chairman of the RPG Group. (Ceat Tyres, Infrastructure, Technology). Owing to the stature of Harsh Goenka there can be some credibility to his public social media posts. As per Harsh Goenka the Model X belongs to the Ruias in Bombay. Ravi and Shashi Ruia have a far higher net worth owing to their ownership of the Essar group. Now these are only tweets by an individual and they can’t be verified if it is indeed true. There are many discreet high net worth Individuals in the Island city who can easily afford to import a car costing roughly about 150 thousand US dollars and pay more than 150% on custom duties and other taxes to drive it on Indian roads.

| ![]() Not sure if I missed reading the critical part - I believe this business tycoon also has an electric charge station built inside his mansion to recharge the juice of this marvel? Damn this model has 967nm of torque combined by 2 electric motors ![]() Btw, if you were wondering how 967nm looks like against Lamb, here you go; Last edited by gururajrv : 14th December 2017 at 01:03. |

| ![]() It would be interesting to see the autopilot screen on Indian roads. No lane markings, autorickshaws and random people crossing the road will give the software nightmares. In the video you could see the car beat everybody at the traffic signal (0:48) where it just took off. |

| ![]() Ritiesh Deshmukh seems to have been gifted a Tesla X according to TOI. But from the pic its clear that it is not in India and also it is a left hand drive. So maybe it was just a drive on his birthday. ![]() Pic taken from his instagram account. |
