Rohit Sharma Buys Tesla Model Y With Special Plate - Elon Musk Reacts
Former Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma has made headlines off the pitch by adding a new Tesla Model Y to his garage. The ace batsman was spotted driving the electric SUV in Mumbai while arriving for an event, instantly sparking a social media storm.
The short video clip showing Rohit behind the wheel quickly went viral, not just for the car but also for its registration number. Fans noticed the number plate read MH01FB3015, which many believe carries a personal connection to his children, Samaira and Ahaan.
According to fan interpretations, the "30" and "15" could represent their respective birth dates-December 30 and November 15. Others linked the digits to Rohit's long-standing habit of personalising his number plates with significant milestones.
His previous Lamborghini Aventador bore the number "264," a nod to his record-breaking One-Day International score against Sri Lanka in 2014. With the new Tesla, the sentimental tradition seems to continue-this time tied to family rather than cricket.
Adding to the moment's buzz, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself reacted to the viral post. The original clip, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the account "Teslaconomics," claimed this was why Tesla didn't need traditional advertising. Musk reposted it, without comment, drawing global attention to Rohit's new ride.
The Tesla Model Y is one of the brand's most popular all-electric SUVs worldwide. It offers dual-motor all-wheel-drive, brisk acceleration, and an EPA-rated range of up to 533 km, depending on the variant. The SUV's minimalist interior, panoramic glass roof, and over-the-air updates make it a global benchmark for EV design.
In India, Tesla is yet to launch officially, but several units have been privately imported by enthusiasts. Rohit's Model Y is understood to be one such import, adding another high-profile name to India's growing list of Tesla owners.
Rohit's garage already features a collection of luxury cars, including a Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW 7 Series, Audi Q7, and Range Rover Autobiography. The addition of the Tesla brings an electric dimension to his lineup, blending sustainability with everyday usability.
The sighting also came at a key moment for the cricketer, shortly after he was relieved of ODI captaincy duties. He arrived at the CEAT Cricket Awards in Mumbai in the new Tesla, marking one of his first major public appearances since the leadership change.
Fans flooded social media with appreciation for the car and its unique number plate, with many calling it "the most Rohit way" to celebrate family. The reaction from Musk only fuelled the viral attention, turning a private purchase into an international talking point.
