Upset Dream11 CEO slams Tesla for returning his priority slot booked in March 2017, sends message to CEO Elon Musk: Tesla is turning ALL its fans in India into haters ...
Harsh Jain, the CEO of Indian fantasy sports platform Dream11 has publicly criticised Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk for returning his $1,000 reservation fee for a Model 3 that he had placed back in March 2017. The move, coming nearly a decade after the initial booking, has stripped Jain of his priority slot for a Tesla vehicle in India. Jain took to X (fernery known as Twitter) to express his disappointment. Read Dream11 CEO Harsh Jain's post on slamming Tesla In a post shared on X, Jain tagged Elon Musk directly, expressing his profound disappointment: "Wow Elon Musk, do you know Tesla is turning ALL its fans and early believers in India into haters?" He elaborated on his frustration, revealing, "I had paid $1k for a priority slot in March 2017 for Tesla's India launch. Now that Tesla is FINALLY launching almost 10 YEARS later they're only going to refund me $1k and take away my priority slot?" Jain further highlighted the financial implications of Tesla's delayed entry and his refunded reservation. He pointed out that had he invested that same $1,000 in Tesla shares in March 2017, it would now be worth approximately $20,000, underscoring his belief that Tesla "doesn't care" about its early supporters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo A screenshot shared by Jain revealed an email from Tesla, explaining that "the original Model 3 in your reservation was one of the products that have been replaced" as the company's product lineup evolves.

F1 is my only goal, but I know time is limited, says Kush Maini
Kush Maini (PTI Photo) MUMBAI: "There are more bad days than good days in sports," says Kush Maini. That one line from the 24-year-old aptly sums up how difficult it is to survive in the world of motorsport. But just as he was struggling to find momentum in the 2025 Formula Two season, came the victory of his life—at Monaco, late last month. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It wasn't the first win of his F2 career. The Bengaluru lad's maiden win came at the Hungaroring last year. But winning at Monaco—becoming the first Indian ever to do so—marked a major moment of pride. Currently in his third season in the F1 feeder series, Maini knows that building on the Monaco success is crucial to landing an F1 seat. "I haven't shown the kind of performance that warrants a seat in F1. I'm fast enough, I've won races, but you need to fight for championships," said Maini, who currently sits 11th in the standings with 21 points. To put that into context, Gabriel Bortoleto—Maini's teammate last season—won the 2024 championship and is now racing in F1 with Sauber. He knows the clock is ticking as he chases an F1 seat.

One of them is Gautam Singhania , chairman and managing director of Raymond, whose JK Racing has backed Maini for years. In fact, it was Singhania who convinced two-time F1 champion Mika Hakkinen to mentor the young racer. Maini's association with Hakkinen began just last year, but the Finnish legend has made a meaningful impact. "He's like my pillar. He's the guy who keeps pushing. He's a big reason I'm still so determined."
