Tesla is used as an example to illustrate that the world’s development is getting faster, Indonesia must catch up quickly.

In addition, Jokowi has also joked about Tesla, how this electric vehicle is a symbol of technological progress and even one’s wealth. He had ‘rejected’ the tradition of distributing bicycles to Bambang Soesatyo, who is now the Chairman of the Indonesian Parliament.

“Don’t give Mr. Bambang a bicycle. He is the owner of the first Tesla number 1 in Indonesia.
