While Tesla has delivered over 300,000 Model 3 cars globally, its Indian fans who paid the early deposit are a disappointed lot.

It’s $1,000, but still, they have just taken my money…” This is the sentiment among scores of Indians who booked a Tesla Model 3 when the car was announced in 2016 and CEO Elon Musk announced that pre-bookings would be available for customers from many countries outside North America, including India. Customers had to put up a refundable deposit of $1000 at the time. And while Tesla has delivered over 300,000 Model 3 cars globally, its Indian fans who paid the early deposit are a disappointed lot. Some are still waiting for refunds.
