Date: 11-apr-2025
Global electric vehicle giant Tesla has officially entered the Saudi Arabian market, opening its first showroom and service center in Riyadh. This strategic expansion marks a new chapter in Tesla’s relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, offering customers access to the latest EV technology directly from the manufacturer.
Popular Models Available in Saudi Arabia
The new Riyadh showroom offers some of Tesla's most popular models, including:
- Tesla Model 3 — Affordable sedan with long-range capability
- Tesla Model Y — Compact SUV with spacious interiors
- Cybertruck — The futuristic all-electric pickup truck
Pop-up Stores in Jeddah and Dammam
In addition to the main showroom in Riyadh, Tesla plans to open pop-up stores in Jeddah and Dammam. These temporary retail locations will allow customers in western and eastern Saudi Arabia to experience Tesla vehicles firsthand and place orders locally.
A New Chapter After Past Tensions
This launch marks a significant development in Tesla’s relations with Saudi Arabia, following past controversies. In 2018, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had considered taking the company private, citing backing from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). However, the deal fell through, leading to tensions between Musk and Saudi officials.
Now, with this official launch, Tesla appears to be strengthening its ties with Saudi Arabia, aligning with the kingdom’s Vision 2030 plan for sustainability and renewable energy adoption.
