- Tesla is gearing up for its India launch, with Model 3 and Model Y spotted without camouflage.
The Model Y is expected to debut first due to its suitability for Indian roads, featuring enhanced ground clearance and advanced safety technologies. (Twitter/ TeslaClubIN) Get Launch Updates on Notify me There is no hiding the fact Tesla is preparing for its India launch. A few of its vehicles have already been spotted on our roads. However, this time, the Model 3 and Model Y were spotted in a parking lot that too, without any camouflage. A total of four vehicles were there, with one of which being the Tesla Model Y facelift, which is also known as Juniper. From acquiring land to scouting for talent, the electric vehicle manufacturer has been preparing for its entry into the Indian market. The American company has also submitted homologation applications for the Model 3 and Model Y variants in India. It is expected that the first dealership will be inaugurated in Mumbai. Tesla is also testing the Juniper version of the Model Y, which is the facelifted version, recently launched in the global market. (Twitter / TeslaClubIN) The Model Y is anticipated to be the inaugural model that Tesla will introduce in India. This assertion is justified, as SUVs are presently the most favoured body style worldwide. The Model Y provides the additional advantage of enhanced ground clearance, which is crucial for vehicles designed for the Indian market, considering the state of the roads in the nation. In the past, Tesla faced several difficulties with the previous generation of the Model 3, mainly because of its inadequate ground clearance. In the global marketplace, the Model Y is available solely in a single configuration. It is equipped with an all-wheel drive system combined with a long-range battery pack, which provides an EPA-rated range of 526 kilometres and a top speed of 200 kilometres per hour. The vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 96 kilometres per hour in merely 4.6 seconds. Also Read : Tesla Model S and Model X updated with better range and design tweaks.
