So you are saying Qatar, Jordan, and UAE are bigger than Saudi auto market? Somebody needs to do their homework

[moresea]

Saudi isn't a large consumer market?? Are you serious? They have 30M+ ppl with a strong purchasing power. What a dumbass take.

[samheartnet]

Saudi Arabia might be the only country on earth with Lucid, BYD, Tesla in the same country

[HiddenWen]

Musk has a feud with this guy? Musk seems to have a lot of feuds...

[usmanmt]

0:00 honestly what type of question is this?? why wouldn't he, the Saudis are one of the super powers in the world even if the market isn't big, it's a very important one, especially for a global player

[samanthaw]

Why would they buy a Tesla when they have super super luxury cars? 🤔

[user-uh]

What is the news here? This is just BS. Other Saudi investors have been backing other Elon's company. This is clickbait journalism and I clicked.

[mohammed-plzt]

Why would anyone open any shop anywhere ? What kind of question is this ?

[ymalik]

Will be huge as KSA is investigating billions of USD into solar and battery based energy storage.

[KTAC]

This isn't news. This is clickbait

[MohammedShakoor-fd]

On the contrary, it could be huge given the government support in KSA. The public standards here are to support our government. Perhaps that's one angle Mathew couldn't relay.

[mshmsh]

Saudi Arabia not big market? 😂 are you guys serious. Im Saudi Arabian. 60% of my country is below 35 years old and LOVE tech! You kidding me?! There are almost zero electric cars in Saudi Arabia and now is the time to move the entire population to electric cars because we are adaptive! We are ready.

[ScarletPrincessaWales]

In the end... The west runs to middle east.... Money comes from them .. not from west 😂😂😂

[flowerpleasant]

Yes Saudi will invest in Tesla if their people really like it.

[RonVaughn]

He has to sell them somewhere since he burnt his bridges everywhere else

[jcgo]

If Elons feud with Al Rumayyan is over that's a good thing. It's amazing how the woke MSM wants to spin that into a controversy.

[AmerBoyo]

A major EV company selling in a petrostate? Seems like a win to me!

[الجنوبالعربي-زل]

Saudis Toyota pickup truck or Land Cruiser 😂

[LenaRaman-uv]

Please Saudi sir, you’ll get targeted if you back him up! Don’t do this to yourself!

[renerene]

The most popular and perceived cool truck right now in the UAE is the Tesla cyber truck
