Tesla releases first teaser ahead of India launch for the first time

Tesla has released its first teaser on its social media. The teaser is quite simple, you can see the Tesla's logo and ‘India’ text, and the caption says ‘Coming Soon’. The brand is already prepping to inaugurate its first dealership in India. It will be located in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. The first experience centre will open on July 15.

The electric cars have already landed in India, and we expect they are already in the experience centre because they were recently spotted being offloaded right outside the building.

The second experience centre by Tesla will be opened in New Delhi. The brand already has an office in Bangalore, and Tesla is also looking for warehouses in Karnataka and Gurugram.

Tesla testing their vehicles on Indian roads

The brand is testing its Model Y and Model 3 on the Indian roads. It is important to note that the Tesla vehicles that we will get will use CCS2 charging port instead of the NCAS that the brand uses in the US market.

According to reports, 5 Model Ys were brought to the Mumbai port. These are the rear wheel drive models that were imported from Tesla's Shanghai facility. The brand has been testing the electric vehicles actively on the Indian roads.

Worldwide, the Model Y is available in a single configuration that includes an all-wheel drive system and a long-range battery, providing an EPA-estimated range of 526 kilometers and a top speed of 200 km/h. It can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in merely 4.6 seconds.

Notable features include electrically adjustable seats with heating and cooling capabilities, a high-end 15-speaker audio system complete with a subwoofer, a hands-free tailgate, and a collection of eight external cameras. Additionally, the vehicle is outfitted with numerous advanced driver assistance technologies, such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane Keeping Assist.

The Model Y stands as the top-selling electric vehicle worldwide, with a price tag of $44,990 in the United States. Nevertheless, in India, where consumers are particularly sensitive to pricing, Tesla must devise a strategy to offer their electric cars at a competitive price.
