Tesla Model Y Caught Testing Under Wraps in India

4 months ago | 5 Views

For a long time, Tesla has been testing its electric cars on Indian roads. The company is now getting ready to introduce its electric vehicles to the Indian market. The Model Y and the Model 3 are anticipated to be the first electric vehicles to arrive in dealerships.

The Model Y has now been seen again on Indian roads, however it's intriguing to note that it was covered in camouflage and had red plates from Karnataka.

Mumbai will soon have a Tesla store.

The second dealership is anticipated to be integrated in Delhi, while the company is getting ready to open its first facility in Mumbai. By the middle of July, formal notification is anticipated.

The arrival of the company's flagship Model Y rear-wheel drive SUVs from its Shanghai factory marks the start of its retail business in India, according to the American electric vehicle behemoth.

Few of the previous spy shots of the Tesla Model Y were not camouflaged. However, this one is.
Official import records, examined by Bloomberg News, corroborate the arrival of at least five Model Y vehicles at the Mumbai port. With import charges of more than ₹21 lakh, reflecting India's high tariffs on fully constructed units, these devices were valued at ₹27.69 lakh (about $31,988).

In India, the Model Y, which is regarded as the best-selling electric automobile worldwide, is expected to cost over $56,000 before taxes and insurance. The price is much greater than the $44,990 that it sells for in the United States, and it is much higher when U.S. tax credits lower the cost to $37,490. One of Tesla's main challenges in India is convincing price-conscious consumers to purchase a high-end electric car, as demonstrated by this large price difference.

Even if electric vehicles make up slightly over 5% of new passenger car sales in India, the luxury market still only accounts for less than 2% of total sales. This makes it difficult for Tesla, which must carefully balance its pricing, product placement, and customer appeal.

The Model Y is offered in just one arrangement across the world market. It has a long-range battery pack, an all-wheel drive system, a top speed of 200 km/h, and an EPA-rated range of 526 km. In only 4.6 seconds, the car can accelerate from 0 to 96 kilometers per hour.

Additional features include eight cameras, a hands-free trunk, a 15-speaker, one-subwoofer audio system, and power-adjustable seats with heating and ventilation. In addition, it has active safety features including Lane Departure Avoidance, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Forward Collision Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking.
