The internet and social media has been buzzing with Tesla updates ever since the American electric vehicle (EV) giant officially set foot in India with its first shop in Mumbai. The company also launched its first product in the country — Model Y — at a starting price of Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
Instead, Tesla extended the wheelbase to 3,040mm, or 150mm (5.9 inches) longer than the five-seat Model Y. In addition to the added length, the new Y L gets unique wheels, an updated spoiler, new seats, and appears as though it’ll be available with a new gold paint color.
With delivery estimated to start from the third quarter, Tesla will drive on to India's busy roads, targeting a niche premium EV segment that accounts for just 4% of overall sales in the world's third-largest car market.
