Tesla CEO Elon Musk was advised by Vivek Wadhwa to reconsider manufacturing in China and consider India instead.

Indian-American academic, entrepreneur, and author Vivek Wadhwa cautions Tesla CEO Elon Musk against choosing China as a manufacturing base, warning it could result in a loss. Wadhwa suggests Musk consider moving manufacturing to India instead, as US and European automakers fail in China due to short-term gains and technology transfer. Musk cancelled a trip to India to announce a $3bn investment and later visited China.
