With Tesla losing so much of its market share in China (due to recently imposed tariffs), it would make sense for Tesla to attempt expansion in the other high-population country which is undergoing rapid industrialization -- and that's India.
It just seems odd that the first media outlet to report this would be
Business Insider, given its history of publishing outright anti-Tesla FUD from one of its so-called "reporters".
But it's possible. BI has also published stories that are neutral towards Tesla, and some that even appear to me to have a positive spin. I don't think BI has an entrenched editorial position against Tesla, it's just that they don't seem interested in exercising any editorial control over the factual accuracy or bias of what they publish.
Wikipedia's article on BI says in part:
Business Insider's CEO and Editor-In-Chief Henry Blodget... previously worked on Wall Street until he was banned for life from the securities industry because of his violations of securities laws and subsequent civil trial... Nicholas Carlson, whose past experiences include... Gawker Media's Silicon Valley gossip blog, Valleywag, is Deputy Editor.
Lack of integrity (journalistic or otherwise), and a preference for click-bait sensationalism rather than responsible reporting, seems to stem from the top at BI.
