Mumbai — After more suspense than a Christopher Nolan movie and more delays than Indian Railways on a foggy morning, Tesla has officially touched down in India. Elon Musk’s electric dreams are now plugged into Mumbai, with Delhi getting its dose of volts in the coming weeks.
And what better way to start than with the Model Y — the electric crossover that thinks it’s a spaceship and drives like butter on hot paratha. Priced at ₹59.89 lakh for the Rear-Wheel Drive (500 km range) and ₹67.89 lakh for the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (622 km range), it promises performance, minimalism, and a user manual you’ll never read.

Model Y-eh Dil Maange More
Tesla’s Model Y in India comes with:
- Two variants: One for your daily dosa run (500 km), and one for Jaipur round-trips (622 km).
- Colours galore: You can pick from 6 shades – Grey (free), and five others (White, Black, Blue, Silver, and Red) that’ll cost anywhere from ₹95,000 to ₹1.85 lakh. So, choose wisely or choose Grey.
- Wheels: 19-inch crossflow alloy wheels – because style matters, but variety clearly doesn’t.
Interior options include standard All Black and a fancy Black & White combo, the latter costing ₹95,000 extra — perfect if your vibe is “Stormtrooper meets Silicon Valley.”
FSD? FOMO? Tesla Has It Covered
In a move that surprised even the cows on Indian highways, Tesla is offering its Full Self-Driving Capability in India at ₹6 lakh. While actual autonomous driving might still have to negotiate potholes, auto-rickshaws, and wedding processions, the hardware is ready and waiting.
Features That’ll Make Other SUVs Feel Like Rickshaws
- Redesigned Front and Rear Lightbars for max aerodynamics (read: street cred).
- 15.4″ central touchscreen to control everything — except your in-laws.
- 8″ second-row screen so backbenchers don’t feel left out.
- Heated and ventilated front seats, heated second row, and second-gen suspension noise-reduction tech — perfect for Indian roads and mother-in-law complaints.
- 9-speaker sound system for your long drives and low-budget karaoke.
- Dashcam & Sentry Mode – so even your parked car can say, “Smile, you’re on TeslaCam.”
And yes, it goes from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.6 seconds and can hit 201 kmph — but given Indian traffic, it’ll mostly do 25 kmph and honk politely at buffaloes.
Booking & Delivery
You can book the Model Y from the comfort of your bean bag via the Tesla India website, and deliveries are estimated to begin from Q3 2025 — assuming the stars align and EV infrastructure cooperates.
Welcome to the EV-olution
With Tesla’s arrival, the Indian EV scene has just received its biggest jolt. Whether it’s a fashion-forward tech nerd in Bengaluru or a Bollywood star looking for a guilt-free chariot in Mumbai, the Model Y promises to be the electrifying upgrade they’ve been waiting for.
So, fasten your seatbelts, adjust your ambient lighting, and whisper sweet nothings to your AI-powered steering wheel — Tesla India has officially entered the chat.
