Tesla upgraded the India-spec Model Y Long Range RWD with an 84.2kWh battery, taking the WLTP range to 661 km. Prices are the same as before, features and design are also unchanged.
New Delhi. Tesla has quietly upgraded the India-spec Model Y Long Range RWD, increasing its WLTP-approved range by 39 km to 661 km. This change is reportedly due to the larger 84.2kWh battery pack, up from the previous 78.1kWh unit, while the base standard RWD variant's 64kWh battery and claimed range of 500km remain unchanged.
Since its launch in India in July 2025, Tesla has offered the Model Y in two trims – Standard RWD and Long Range RWD. The Long Range variant, designed for drivers seeking maximum range and performance, now comes with an upgraded 84.2kWh battery, giving it a range of 661 km on a single charge as per WLTP standards. Despite the increase in battery capacity, the rear-axle-mounted electric motor remains the same, helping it accelerate from 0-100 kmph in just 5.6 seconds.
No change in standard trim
The standard RWD trim, which is aimed at entry-level EV buyers, still comes with its 64kWh battery with a WLTP range of 500 km, accelerating to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds.
price did not increase
Tesla has not increased prices with this update. The standard RWD is priced at Rs 59.89 lakh, while the Long Range RWD is priced at Rs 67.89 lakh (ex-showroom). All other features of the Model Y, from its sleek exterior design to the feature-loaded cabin, remain the same.
Performance and charging
Both variants are single-motor rear-wheel drive, with top speed capped at 201 kmph. Tesla's super-fast DC charging technology allows for faster charging, with the Long Range variant adding 267 km in just 15 minutes under ideal conditions. The standard variant can cover a distance of 238 km in the same time.
Autonomous Driving Features
Tesla offers its Full Self-Driving (FSD) suite in India as an optional package worth Rs 6 lakh. The suite promises hands-free driving and advanced safety features, giving Indian EV buyers access to one of the world's most advanced autonomous driving technologies.
