Over four lakh bookings have been registered so far for Model 3 and each car will be sold with wiper system parts sourced from an India company. The firm in question is Gurugram-based auto parts maker Sandhar Technologies.

Sandhar Technologies is supplying two components of Model 3's wiper system from its Spanish subsidiary Sandhar Technologies Barcelona. And the parts are being shipped from the firm's plant in Mexico. Though the specific parts have not been revealed yet, Autocar Professional reports that it is aluminium pressure die-cast parts used in the wiper system. However, Sandhar Technologies refused to officially ratify the story.

Sandhar Technologies specialises in automotive latches and lock systems and is one of the leading vendors to many OEs in India that include Honda Cars India.

The firm has 33 manufacturing plants in India and across the globe with an employee base exceeding 6,500 people.
