Tesla is expected to launch operations in the UAE soon. The California-based automaker, known for its long-range electric cars, also posted on its website job postings for three positions in Dubai including a service advisor, a service manager, and a service technician, suggesting the UAE launch might be of a service centre.
The event and the job listings come just ahead of a visit by the company’s co-founder and chief executive officer, Elon Musk, to Dubai. Musk is scheduled to visit Dubai next week as he will be taking part in the fifth edition of the World Government Summit, which runs from 12th to 14th February.
Many Tesla owners who received an invite for the event, scheduled for 13th February at the Armani Hotel, expect Musk to be in attendance as he usually attends similar launch events in other parts of the world.
Tesla’s launch in the UAE would mark its first operations in the Middle East and Africa, with the company’s operations currently concentrated in the US, Western Europe, as well as some representation in Japan, China, and Taiwan.
