Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company will not manufacture cars in India if the country does not allow it to sell and service its electric vehicles.
When asked by a Twitter user Friday if Tesla would be manufacturing a plant in India in the future, Musk said the move cannot happen under the country's current rules.
"Tesla will not put a manufacturing plant in any location where we are not allowed first to sell & service cars," Musk tweeted.
The team Musk hired in India last year has since been instructed to focus on the Middle East and the larger Asia-Pacific markets.

特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克表示,如果印度不允许其销售和维修电动汽车,该公司将不会在印度生产汽车。
周五,当一名推特用户询问特斯拉未来是否会考虑在印度建立生产厂时,马斯克表示,根据该国现行的规定,此举不太可能发生。
“特斯拉不会在不允许我们首先能进行销售和维修汽车的任何地方建立制造工厂,”马斯克在推特上写道。
马斯克去年在印度聘请的团队已被指示专注于中东地区和更大的亚太市场。

Musk's comments come as the Indian government has yet to accept his demand to reduce import duties on Tesla cars.
Indian leaders have made multiple failed appeals for Musk to bring Tesla to India.
"Our request to him is to come to India and manufacture here. We have no problems. The vendors are available, we offer all kinds of technology and because of that, Musk can reduce the cost," Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said during the Raisina Dialogue 2022 conference last month, according to TribuneIndia.com.

马斯克发表上述言论之际,印度政府尚未接受他降低进口特斯拉汽车关税的要求。
印度领导人多次呼吁马斯克将特斯拉工厂带到印度,但都失败了。
据印度论坛报报道,在上个月举行的“瑞辛纳对话2022”会议期间,公路运输和公路部长尼廷·加德卡里表示:“我们对他的要求是来到印度并在这里生产。我们没有问题。这儿有供应商,我们能够提供各种技术,因此,马斯克可以降低成本,”

"India is a huge market and offers good export opportunities too. Musk can export Tesla cars from India," he added.
Gadkari said in February that Musk must first manufacture in India before Tesla cars can be driven on the roads.

“印度是一个巨大的市场,也提供了良好的出口机会。马斯克可以从印度出口特斯拉汽车,”他补充说。
加德卡里在 2 月份表示,马斯克必须首先在印度生产,然后特斯拉汽车才能被允许上路行驶。

Musk had tweeted in January that he could not release Tesla vehicles in India yet due to "challenges with the government." And last summer, the billionaire posted to Twitter that he would like to launch Teslas in India, but the country's import duties are "the highest in the world by far of any large country."
India currently levies a 100% tax on imported vehicles costing more than $40,000, inclusive of insurance and shipping expenses. Cars that cost less than $40,000 face a 60% import tax.

马斯克在一月份发推文称,由于存在“与(印度)政府的博弈”,他还不能在印度发布特斯拉汽车。去年夏天,这位亿万富翁在推特上发帖称,他希望在印度推出特斯拉,但该国的进口关税是“迄今为止世界上所有大国中最高的”。
印度目前对价值超过 40,000 美元的进口车辆征收 100% 的税,包括保险和运输费用。价格低于 40,000 美元的汽车则面临 60% 的进口税。
