2019: Elon Musk presented Lukashenko with an electric car
In early September 2019, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that Elon Musk gave him an electric car.
 | I have a Tesla electric machine, I sometimes test it. Musk gave it. And I still have an electric motorcycle, which the Minsk plant is already producing, "the Belarusian leader said in an interview with schoolchildren, a fragment of which was shown by STV. |  |
Alexander Lukashenko did not specify which Tesla model was presented to him by Elon Musk. Nothing was reported about the meeting between the president and the American businessman, and some Internet users doubted that the founder of Tesla knew about Lukashenko's gift.
Earlier, the president tested the Tesla Model S in the most powerful version (P100D) on Belarusian roads. The head of state praised the characteristics of the car, noting that it "starts like a spacecraft and is even more powerful." During the test drive, he accelerated the electric car to a speed of 280 km/h.
| | The plane takes off and lands at such a speed. A very good car, "Alexander Lukashenko shared his impressions after testing the Tesla Model S. | |
Then the president of Belarus liked the Tesla electric car so much that he instructed local engineers to create a Belarusian analogue.
At the end of August 2019, Alexander Lukashenko held a special meeting in which manufacturers of Belarusian electric vehicles participated. He advised the developers to "take a closer look" at Tesla. At the same time, the president recalled that Belarus needs a domestic electric car as soon as possible in order to "ne swim in the tail of progress."
Tesla is not the only electric car in Lukashenko's garage. In 2017, during a visit to the BelG plant, representatives of the Chinese side presented the president with a Geely electric car.[1]
