This is so weird, did he miscalculate how intense the backlash would be? or he truly doesn't care?

Tesla needs to develop an affordable car for emerging economies (LATAM, EMEA), and their stock will increase faster than before. China is dumping its cars on these markets like crazy and even then most people are reluctant to buy them.

Many countries in latin america still subsidize gasoline, so EVs just aren't as viable here compared to e.g. Europe where gas is taxed significantly.

(anecdotally, Chinese cars are pretty popular here in Ecuador, but they're fossil fuel cars, not EVs)
