Tesla's $56K India Gamble: Will the Model Y Sell in a Price-Sensitive Market?
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is finally hitting the accelerator in India. After years of back-and-forth, the EV giant is opening its first showroom in Mumbai this July, followed by another in New Delhi. It's starting with the Model Yshipped straight from its Shanghai plantmarking the company's first official sales push into the world's third-largest car market. Internal documents and people familiar with the matter confirm that Tesla has also brought in Supercharger hardware, car accessories, and parts from the US, China, and the Netherlandslaying the groundwork for a broader rollout. This move follows Elon Musk's February meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and could signal the start of a long-term India strategy. But it won't be an easy ride. Each Model Y imported was declared at just under $32,000, but racked up over $25,000 in import duties due to India's 70% tariff on fully-built EVs. Final sticker price? North of $56,000 before tax and insurancenearly 50% more than the U.S. price post-incentives. For a market where EVs still make up just 5% of new car sales and luxury vehicles are under 2%, Tesla will need more than brand power to spark volume. Still, the company is quietly building momentum. It's securing warehouse space in Karnataka and Gurugram, boosting hiring across charging, retail, and policy teams, and sending execs from abroad to oversee showroom setup in luxury districts. The early signs point to a premium positioning play aimed at affluent Indian buyers. Whether that strategy holdsor pivotswill depend on how fast Tesla can shift from imports to local production. For now, it's a high-stakes, high-margin experiment in one of the world's fastest-growing auto markets. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Amazon Robot Army Could Crush Tesla in the AI Race
June 20 - Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has the potential to become one of the most prominent competitors in the robotics and AI industry, and it could become an attractive alternative investment to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) due to its lower volatility. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with AMZN. Tesla used to be priced highly, and some investors might be reluctant to do it due to its expensive pricing as well as difficulties with the car business. According to the analysts, the company that has entered the political stage and competes with Chinese EV car manufacturers also contributes to the risk picture. Amazon, on the other hand, is already utilizing the large-scale use of robotics in its logistics and facilities network. The company has installed more than 750,000 robots on its premises that consist of autonomous systems like Proteus and robotic arms like Sparrow and Cardinal, designed to increase the efficiency of operations in the company. In the mean time, Amazon is continuing to expand AI with its AWS cloud services and also with the development of custom chips through Annapurna Labs. Its Zoox unit also plans to roll out the robotaxi service in Las Vegas and expand it to San Francisco. Valuation may also favor Amazon. Forecasts from analysts suggest the stock trades at about 35 times 2025 earnings estimates, dropping to roughly 14 times by 2030 as profits grow. Tesla's forward price-to-earnings multiple, meanwhile, sits significantly higher, estimated at 172 times for 2025. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) has projected the humanoid robotics market could expand to $5 trillion by 2050, while Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) sees potential for $38 billion by 2035. Both Amazon and Tesla are identified as potential leaders in this space. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) estimates Amazon could save $7.1 billion annually by 2032 through expanded use of robots and AI. Shares of Amazon recently bounced back to around $215 after falling near $160 in April. The 50-day moving average is near $196, and the 200-day sits around $203. The analyst views pullbacks below $200 as potential buying opportunities for long-term investors. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
