Ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s conversation with Elon Musk, the owner of electric car maker Tesla, Tesla vehicles have been spotted several times during testing on the roads of India. Now once again the Tesla Model Y has been spotted testing in India. It was first spotted on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. So let’s know what new details of the Tesla Model Y have been spotted this time.
What’s new in the testing model
According to a report by media reports, many new details have been seen in the Tesla Model Y spotted during testing this time. Its headlights look very sleek and a split LED design has been seen in it, which makes its front look even sharper and modern. Its front bumper also seems to have been redesigned, while the design of the alloy wheels is updated. At the rear, the tail lamp has a connected full-width light bar, which gives it an extra visual drama and a touch of cyberpunk cool! These changes will make this electric SUV even more attractive.
Battery pack and range
The globally offered Tesla Model Y is available in two variants: rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and long-range dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD). Its RWD model claims to offer a range of up to 719 km on a single charge, while the AWD long-range variant can offer a range of up to 662 km. This great range is likely to be retained in the model launched in India as well, making long-distance travel even easier.
Powerful in performance too
Its RWD model can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in just 5.9 seconds, and the AWD variant reaches this speed in just 4.3 seconds! It gets 250 kW DC fast charging, with the help of which it can give a range of about 250 km in just 15 minutes. These strong performance figures will attract Indian customers.
When will it be launched in India
Given the continuous testing of Tesla vehicles on Indian roads, it is expected that Tesla may open bookings for the Tesla Model Y in India by the end of 2025, with deliveries starting in early 2026. Its price in India can be between ₹ 55 lakh and ₹ 70 lakh. If Tesla works on this timeline, then the Indian electric vehicle market will see new exciting competition.
These new updates of Tesla Model Y and the possibility of launch in India is a happy news for Indian electric vehicle lovers. Now it remains to be seen when the company officially announces its launch and when it will be available in the Indian market.
