Charging and Convenience Features
Tesla is ensuring a smooth ownership experience by enhancing charging accessibility in India:
- Complimentary Tesla Wall Connector provided to every new owner.
- Public fast-charging hubs in Delhi and Mumbai, with plans for further expansion.
- Supercharger capability (250kW) enables ultra-fast recharging, adding up to 267km in 15 minutes.

Tesla’s India Strategy
By introducing the Model Y first, Tesla is targeting the growing demand for premium electric SUVs. Its strategic price positioning around the Rs. 60–68 lakh mark allows it to compete with luxury EVs from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi.
Tesla’s decision to offer two trims with strong range figures also helps address one of the biggest concerns of Indian EV buyers: driving range. Combined with the company’s charging infrastructure, the Model Y stands out as a practical luxury EV option.
