A user commented on the X platform, “Waste of engineering time. There’s no way anybody can actively use the application while they are driving and it is uncomfortable to use in terms of typing because of your back having to twist very weirdly.

Musk was supposed to visit India on 21 April, for a two-day visit during which he was to meet the Prime Minister and other government officials to talk about the launch of Tesla in India. But because of Tesla commitments, he had postponed the trip. He looks forward to planning his visit and scheduling it later this year.

“Unfortunately, very heavy Tesla obligations require that the visit to India be delayed, but I do very much look forward to visiting later this year,” he said.
