Tesla expected to launch in Israel in January
Tesla will be the first car manufacturer to sell its vehicles in Israel rather than through an importer, reports claim
The electric car maker Tesla is expected to launch Israeli operations in January.
Tesla will be the first car manufacturer to sell its vehicles in Israel rather than through an importer.
The company, owned by Elon Musk, will start by opening a pop-up store at a mall in Tel Aviv, the Israeli business news website Calcalist reported. The store will display some Tesla models and take orders ahead of the opening of an official showroom.
A month ago, Tesla registered a fully owned subsidiary company in Israel — Tesla Motors Israel Ltd. — the daily business news website Globes reported.
In 2013, the electric car company Better Place filed for bankruptcy in Israel. The company left some 2,000 charging posts for cars and motorcycles installed around the country.
