I doubt that Tesla intends to market to the average Indian. I'm not sure it has reached out to the average American, yet. I think it has, but only at the bottom of its target market.
So if you only target the extreme top of the wealth demographic in India, the numbers still matter. If you somehow convinced 1/2 of 1% of the millionaires in India to purchase a Cybertruck and donate it to a local mobile health clinic, you would increase global sales of Cybertrucks by 100%.
Is there any way sales in New Mexico will have a meaningful impact on Tesla's bottom line? West Virginia? South Carolina? There are more Tesla dealerships in New Mexico than in all of India.

Oh, I'm sure it doesn't, but my point is that there's no way sales in India will have a meaningful impact on Tesla's bottom line anytime soon.
Obvious math:
Population of US: ~340M
1 percenters of US: ~3.4M
1% of 1 percenters of US: ~34K
Population of India: ~1.4B
0.1 percenters of India: ~1.4M
1% of 0.1 percenters of India: ~14K
