Tesla has launched the premium RWD variant of its popular electric car Tesla Model Y in India at an aggressive price. The company has recently reduced the ex-showroom price of this variant by Rs 11.10 lakh from the top variant to Rs 50.89 lakh. This step has been taken to make the Indian EV market more attractive and increase competition.

This update is a big milestone for Tesla in India, where despite 100% import duty, the company has brought the price to an affordable level. The Model Y Premium RWD will now compete directly with luxury electric SUVs like the BMW iX1 and Mercedes CLA EV. Deliveries are scheduled to begin from July 2026 and customers can book online. EMI option is also starting from ₹39,990 per month. Let's take a look at its design, battery, motor and range details.

The minimalist cabin takes some getting used to, especially due to the lack of buttons. The infotainment screen on this e-SUV is the command center.

It gets a clean dashboard design with everything integrated into the 15.4-inch central touchscreen, while rear passengers get an 8-inch rear screen. The EV features dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a power-operated tailgate and a panoramic roof.
