Business Line ( 16 June ) carries following news report :
“ Tesla seeks import relief till it builds e-cars in India “
In a tweet on Thursday, Musk said :
“ Tesla is in discussion with the government of India requesting temporary relief on import penalties / restrictions until a local factory is built “
THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE MUST NOT MISS !
WHY ?
Because , only Elon has the imagination / resources and the passion , to transform the transport scenario of India by implementing the following initiatives of our government :
· 6 million e-cars by 2022 ( acting as a CATALYST for Indian Car Industry )
·
· All e-cars by 2030
·
· Small swappable Li-ion batteries for 3-wheelers
·
· EV charging Stations based on Tesla’s Solar Roof Top Tiles
·
· PowerWall ( solar ) storage solutions for domestic use / grid storage
·
· Solar roof top tiles ( to replace Solar panels ? )
·
· Solar Panel roofs for cars ( translating ISRO design into reality )
·
HOW TO PERSUADE ELON ?
By agreeing to set off “ import penalties ( import duties ? ) “ in exchange for Elon accepting :
# “ Export “ commitment for equivalent amount in 3 years
# Accepting the following PMP ( phased manufacturing program ) , as suggested in my following blog ( earlier sent on 24 May 2017 , as email to NDA ministers / Secretaries and to Elon , as well ) :
Dear Elon :
For immediate approval ( in 24 hours ) , pl submit your PMP as follows :
2017-18 :
Set up factory next to Mundra Port ( Gujarat ) to facilitate world-wide exports
2018-19 :
Source locally , Tyres / Chasis / Body / Electricals / Windows / Dashboards ..etc
2019-20 :
Manufacture in your own factory , Li-ion Battery / Wall-mounted Powerwall Storages /
Solar Roof Tiles
2020-21 :
Manufacture RFID Sensors - Cameras – GPS locators
2021-22 :
Augmented Reality Devices / Autonomous Navigation Devices ( Radar – Lidar )
Now , it is very possible that neither Shri Gadkariji , nor Shri Goyalji , would be satisfied with such a slow PMP , spread out over a period of 5 years
They may , well request Elon to cut it down to 3 years
And , if they do, I get a feeling that Elon would telescope the entire PMP , in 2 YEARS !
After all , Elon is the biggest proponent of :
Dear Shri Nitin Gadkariji :
Only Elon has the passion to implement YOUR dream
It is time to send him an SMS ( ala Shri Narendrabhai ‘ s SMS to Shri Ratan Tata to relocate NANO at Sanand ) , which reads :
“ Welcome to India “
