Are Tesla India Cars Available?

Yes, Tesla India cars are officially on the roads! The Model Y, a stylish midsize electric SUV, is the first to launch, unveiled at Tesla’s flagship showroom in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex on July 15, 2025. A Delhi showroom is next in line. Imported as Completely Built Units (CBUs) from Tesla’s Shanghai factory, these cars face high import duties (70–100%), which bump up their prices.

Are Tesla India Cars Permitted?

Absolutely, Tesla India cars are fully allowed. The Indian government slashed EV import duties from 110% to 70% for vehicles over $40,000, paving the way for Tesla’s entry. While charging infrastructure is limited, Tesla is rolling out Superchargers in Mumbai and Delhi to support owners of Tesla India cars.

Tesla Model Y: Pricing and Variants

The Model Y, a star among Tesla India cars, comes in two rear-wheel-drive variants. Here’s the pricing (ex-showroom, Mumbai):

Variant	Price (₹)	Range (km)	0-100 kmph (sec)
Model Y RWD	59.89 lakh	500	5.9
Model Y Long Range RWD	67.89 lakh	622	5.6

Note: High import duties make Tesla India cars pricier than in the US ($44,990) or China (¥263,500). The full-self-driving package adds ₹6 lakh.

Tesla Model 3 and Model X in India

While the Model Y leads Tesla India cars, the Model 3 is expected by late 2025, potentially priced at ₹35–40 lakh if locally made. The Model X, with its iconic falcon-wing doors, may arrive in 2026, starting at ₹70 lakh. These additions will strengthen Tesla’s foothold in India’s luxury EV market.

The Future of Tesla India Cars
