Tesla bypasses South Africa due to high import taxes

Elon Musk has announced that Tesla will not sell electric cars in South Africa due to high import duties and taxes, due to a lack of incentives for local electric vehicle manufacturing. Importing a Tesla Cybertruck to South Africa can cost upwards of R1.3 million (incl. VAT). According to ‘My Broadband’, South Africa’s tax regime protects domestic car factories while failing to develop a policy to incentivise local EV manufacturing.
