Tesla marks formal India entry with Mumbai launch event
Tesla will open its first India showroom in Mumbai next week, having imported $1m (R17.82m) worth of cars and merchandise, marking its entry into the world's third-largest car market despite CEO Elon Musk's complaints about high import tariffs. In an invitation to media late on Thursday, the carmaker said the July 15 event was the 'launch of Tesla in India through the opening of the Tesla experience centre at Bandra Kurla Complex' in the city's leading commercial business district. Grappling with excess manufacturing capacity at its other factories and falling sales, Tesla has pivoted to selling imported cars in India on which it will need to pay about 70% import duty and other levies. Commercially available customs records from January to June showed Tesla imported vehicles, chargers and accessories into India worth close to $1m, mainly from China and the US. The vehicles included six of Tesla's best-selling Model Y at a shipment value of $32,500 (R579,426) each for five cars and $46,000 (R820,110) for the long-range version, as well as several Superchargers.

Magic math got Trump's bill through, but it won't make debt vanish
Washington | The national debt clock has been ticking away in New York since 1989 as a dynamic reminder of how much the United States has on its collective credit card bill. But on the streets of Washington DC, a more personal reminder has popped up. The Peter G. Peterson Foundation, named for the late Nixon-era commerce secretary and former investment banker and private equity titan, is running bus shelter billboards that portray the debt per person. On Thursday (Friday AEST), when Republicans passed Donald Trump's major tax cut and spending bill, the figure sat at $US106,110 ($161,590).
