MUSCAT : Tesla plans to enter Oman in 2027 and has begun hiring in Muscat, electric vehicle news outlet EVwire reported, citing a LinkedIn announcement by the company’s Middle East market lead.
Pawel Trzpis said Tesla was “building our team from the ground up,” with initial recruitment focused on sales and customer-facing roles. His post gave no specific launch date or details on which models Tesla would offer in Oman.
The expansion comes a decade after Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk named Oman, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia as markets the company intended to enter when it launched in the United Arab Emirates in February 2017, EVwire reported.
