The Tesla Model Y is the first vehicle to be launched in India, marking the company's long-awaited entry into the market after years of negotiations. Tesla opened its first showroom in Mumbai at BKC and will open one in Delhi soon. Tesla will bring the Model 3 sometime later in the year. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis arrived at the first Tesla showroom in India, to commemorate the occasion.
Tesla Model Y pricing and variants
The Model Y comes in two variants – the rear-wheel drive (RWD) and long range rear-wheel drive options. The RWD variant is priced in India at Rs. 59.89 Lakhs, whereas the long range RWD is priced at Rs. 67.89 lakhs. These prices are not inclusive of GST and TCS. The company additionally levies a charge of Rs. 50,000 as ‘administration and service fee’.
Tesla Model Y self-driving capabilities
Tesla notes that the Tesla Model Y will also get full self-driving capabilities in a future update. To be eligible for this update, Tesla asks for an additional Rs.6 Lakhs up front. Offering clarity over autonomous driving capabilities, Tesla notes, “The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. Some features require turn signals and are limited in range. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.”
