Tesla Launches in Qatar: A New Chapter for Electric Cars in the Middle East

Tesla has launched its business in a new Middle Eastern country Qatar, marking the fourth in the region where it is selling its electric cars. Tesla also operates in Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, as the four countries are currently the only places in the Middle East where customers can buy the company’s vehicles.

Tesla announced on Dec. 12 that it has officially begun selling vehicles in Qatar, a small peninsular country located between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The electric automaker launched its vehicle configurator in Qatar on the morning of Dec. 12, offering the Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y to potential buyers in the country. Customers can configure and order Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y with deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2024.

Tesla's groundbreaking entry into Qatar marks a significant milestone in the Middle East's automotive sector. This move not only introduces Tesla's innovative electric vehicles to a new market but also signifies a growing interest in sustainable transportation solutions in the region. Qatar, known for its wealth and technological advancements, presents a fertile ground for Tesla's cutting-edge electric cars and energy solutions.

Here is Tesla’s first quarter plan for operations in Qatar:

     • Early January, Tesla will open a pop-up location at Doha Festival City where customers will be able to see and test-drive our vehicles.
     • A Store and a Service location will open in Doha in quarter one. The latter will provide Tesla owners access to quick and seamless service for their car.
     • In January, Tesla owners will have access to the first Supercharger location in Doha, followed by a second one in February giving customers access to 12 individual Superchargers in total delivering up to 250 kW of power. At a Supercharger, a Tesla can retrieve up to 322 km of range in 15 minutes.

Charging

A critical component of the adoption of electric vehicles is to create a seamless and convenient charging experience wherever customers choose to travel. Tesla owners can enjoy the convenience of plugging in anywhere to charge. Whether it’s at home, in the office, or on a long-distance road trip, Tesla has you covered.

The most convenient way to charge a Tesla is at home. Tesla vehicles provide ample range for daily travel. Most owners drive during the day and replenish the balance of remaining charge at night, waking to a full battery in the morning. Imagine never going to a gas station again.

Designed and built by Tesla, Supercharger stations charge your car in minutes rather than hours. Model S adds up to 322 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes.

Between the Supercharger network, convenient home charging solutions including the Tesla Wall Connector and the fast expansion of public and private charging networks, consumers from Qatar now have access to ubiquitous charging infrastructure enabling convenient daily and on-the-go charging experiences.

Tesla Autopilot

All Teslas come with Autopilot included. Tesla believes that technology can help improve safety. That’s why Tesla vehicles are engineered to be the safest cars in the world. The unique combination of passive safety, active safety, and automated driving is crucial for keeping not just Tesla drivers and passengers safe, but all drivers on the road.

Autopilot is an advanced driver assistance system that is classified as a Level 2 automated system for use only with a fully attentive driver with their hands on the wheel. This means Autopilot also helps with driver supervision. When used properly, Autopilot reduces a driver’s overall workload, and the eight external cameras provide an additional layer of safety that two eyes alone would not have.
