Watch: Tesla Model Y spotted once again on Indian roads
- The Tesla Model Y is anticipated to be the inaugural model that the company will introduce in India.
Tesla has commenced testing the new Model Y on the Indian roads. The electric vehicle was spotted once again while it was driving on a highway. This is the third time that the Model Y has been spotted while it was wearing thick camouflage. Tesla has started hiring in India for multiple operations and it is expected that Tesla is set to launch its inaugural dealership in Mumbai, where it will initially offer fully imported electric vehicles for sale in India.
Model Y is expected to be the first model that Tesla will sell in India. This reasoning is valid, as SUVs currently represent the most popular body style globally. The Model Y offers the added benefit of increased ground clearance, which is essential for models intended for the Indian market, given the condition of the roads in the country. Previously, Tesla encountered numerous challenges with the earlier generation of the Model 3, primarily due to its insufficient ground clearance.
