Tesla has formally opened its online Design Studio in Qatar, marking a significant step in the company’s expansion into the Middle East. The update allows Qatari customers to configure and order their preferred Tesla, with deliveries set to begin in the first quarter of 2024.
A Seamless Electric Experience
The launch of the online Design Studio is just the beginning of Tesla’s commitment to the Qatari market. In early January, the company will also open a pop-up location at Doha Festival City. The location is expected to offer customers a chance to get up close and personal with Tesla vehicles. Visitors will also be able to test drive vehicles.
For added convenience, Tesla will also establish a dedicated Store and Service location in Doha during the first quarter of 2024. The facility should provide Tesla owners with quick and efficient service.

Supercharging Qatar
To further enhance the electric driving experience of Tesla owners in Qatar, the electric vehicle maker will open its first Supercharger station in Doha in January. A second location is expected to go online in February. These stations will offer a combined 12 individual Superchargers, each delivering up to 250 kW of power. This means that a Tesla can regain an impressive 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes of Supercharging.
In a press release, Tesla highlighted that it is not only supporting electric vehicle owners with the Supercharger Network. The company also offers a range of home charging solutions, including the Tesla Wall Connector, which ensures convenient daily charging for EV owners.

Tesla’s Giga Nevada has reached an impressive milestone, producing its 6 millionth drive unit as 2925 came to a close.
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
6 million drive units
The achievement was shared by the official Tesla Manufacturing account on social media platform X. “Congratulations to the Giga Nevada team for producing their 6 millionth Drive Unit!” Tesla wrote.
The photo showed numerous factory workers assembled on the production floor, proudly holding golden balloons that spelled out “6000000″ in front of drive unit assembly stations. Elon Musk gave credit to the Giga Nevada team, writing, “Congrats on 6M drive units!” in a post on X.
Giga Nevada’s essential role
Giga Nevada produces drive units, battery packs, and energy products. The facility has been a cornerstone of Tesla’s scaling since opening, and it was the crucial facility that ultimately enabled Tesla to ramp the Model 3 and Model Y. Even today, it serves as Tesla’s core hub for battery and drivetrain components for vehicles that are produced in the United States.
Giga Nevada is expected to support Tesla’s ambitious 2026 targets, including the launch of vehicles like the Tesla Semi and the Cybercab. Tesla will have a very busy 2026, and based on Giga Nevada’s activities so far, it appears that the facility will be equally busy as well.
