‘We don’t drive carts or tanks!’ Putin says he can imagine himself buying Tesla car
President Putin says he has tried driving various foreign electric cars, and may even buy one himself. Because, believe it or not, it is not all carts and tanks that people drive in Russia.
“Why not?” said Putin, answering a journalist’s question on whether he wants to buy a Tesla car. The Russian leader was speaking during the plenary session at the Russian Energy Week.
“We are open, we buy and sell – we buy everything that is useful for us, and sell everything that is profitable. Therefore, there is nothing special about it. Do you think that we will only drive carts – or tanks? No, we don’t drive carts anymore,” he said.
