Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal toured Tesla's state-of-the-art electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Fremont, California this week. Goyal highlighted the contributions of Indian engineers and professionals at Tesla in senior positions. In response to Goyal's tweets about the visit, Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed regret that he was unable to meet the minister in person due to health reasons. "It was an honor to have you visit Tesla!" Musk tweeted, apologizing for not traveling to California and conveying his hope to meet Goyal at a future date. Musk's comments signal ongoing interest in India as a potential manufacturing hub for affordable Tesla models, even as he missed connecting with Goyal during the minister's US trip.
