Since having an electric vehicle in Russia has numerous disadvantages, several Tesla fans and owners have urged Elon Musk to have a Tesla Russia office.
Responding to the request, the Tesla CEO stated that they are already working on this matter.
Tesla Russia Office Coming Soon?
Tesla owners in Russia have appealed to Musk, requesting the company to open a Russian branch, per Tesmanian.
Many consumers are hesitant to buy without access to the manufacturer's charging network and service center, so there is a possibility that having a Tesla office in the country can help boost sales.
Aside from this, the said office could also address the concerns of the existing owners as well as to easily solve the issues of their cars. In fact, owning a Tesla automobile in Russia comes with several disadvantages.
One of these is that there are no Superchargers, making charging electric vehicles a challenge. Second, there is no service facility in the nation that can support the vehicle, send necessary components, and repair them if necessary.
To further emphasize the said disadvantages, Tesla owners made a statement through a YouTube video.
In the said video, numerous Tesla fans along with their electric vehicles gathered to express their reasons for a Tesla office.
"We are happy to drive our Teslas every day despite having no Supercharges, Tesla Service or dealerships; we order spare parts for our cars and wait for months, we share tips and knowledge to overcome issues while having no access to certified experts," one of the owners stated in the YouTube video through Tesmanian.
They added that despite these issues, they still admire Tesla and there is no going back to gas automobiles for them.
With that being stated, they strongly urge the electric car manufacturer to have a Tesla office in Russia.
Surprisingly, it appears that this call-to-action video has reached the CEO, replying that "Tesla is working as fast as possible to support Tesla owners worldwide."
After answering the owners' request, a Twitter user seemed to be not contented with the sustainable energy-matter that the South-African-born business mogul reasoned about.
"Your cars are coal powered more often than solar or wind powered. You are responsible for those emissions," the Tweet continued.
