I doubt that Tesla intends to market to the average Indian. I'm not sure it has reached out to the average American, yet. I think it has, but only at the bottom of its target market.

Oh, I'm sure it doesn't, but my point is that there's no way sales in India will have a meaningful impact on Tesla's bottom line anytime soon.

Obvious math:

Population of US: ~340M

1 percenters of US: ~3.4M

1% of 1 percenters of US: ~34K

Population of India: ~1.4B

0.1 percenters of India: ~1.4M

1% of 0.1 percenters of India: ~14K

So if you only target the extreme top of the wealth demographic in India, the numbers still matter. If you somehow convinced 1/2 of 1% of the millionaires in India to purchase a Cybertruck and donate it to a local mobile health clinic, you would increase global sales of Cybertrucks by 100%.

Is there any way sales in New Mexico will have a meaningful impact on Tesla's bottom line? West Virginia? South Carolina? There are more Tesla dealerships in New Mexico than in all of India.
