🇺🇸 Tesla’s Grand Debut in India
Tesla’s entry into India has long been awaited, and with the Model Y, the American EV giant has made a bold statement. Initially imported from Shanghai, the Model Y will be available in three cities — Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram — with the first Tesla showroom in India expected to open in New Delhi by the end of July.
🚗 A Look That Speaks the Tesla Language
Front Profile
The Model Y keeps things clean and futuristic. With its signature blanked-off nose, a smooth bumper, and LED DRLs connected by a sleek light bar, the front design screams modernity. Positioned slightly lower, the LED headlamps with aerodynamic air gaps add to the overall efficiency and style.
Side Profile
From the side, the Model Y gives off crossover vibes with a sloping roofline that flows into the tailgate. The flush door handles and 19-inch blacked-out alloy wheels with aero covers complete the minimalist yet athletic look.
Rear Profile
At the back, simplicity continues with a full-width LED light bar joining the tail lamps. The bold “TESLA” lettering integrated into the strip gives it a premium touch, while the blacked-out lower bumper adds a nice contrast.

Interior Cabin
The cabin of the Tesla Model Y is a masterclass in minimalism. The all-black interior looks classy and futuristic. A black-and-white theme is also available for an additional Rs 95,000.
There are no knobs or buttons on the dashboard — just a clean surface and a massive 15.4-inch touchscreen that controls everything from AC and music to drive settings. Ambient lighting runs neatly across the soft-touch dashboard.
The centre console between the front seats is wide and functional, housing cup holders, wireless charging pads, and storage compartments. The three-spoke steering wheel comes with controls for headlamps, indicators, and audio.
Rear passengers aren’t left behind either. They get powered reclining seats, an 8-inch infotainment screen for media and climate control, and rear AC vents for added comfort.
