Battery & Range:<\/b><\/p>\n

Charging Time, Speed & Compatible Chargers:<\/b><\/p>\n

Tesla claims its Long Range variant battery (83 kWh) can be juiced up to 267 km of range in just 15 minutes using its Supercharger (which has a charging capacity of 250 kWh). Tesla wil<\/span>l set-up 16 Superchargers in India shortly, with the first 8 coming up in & around Mumbai, and the next 8 in & around Delhi. These will be the company\u2019s fourth gen \u2018V4\u2019 chargers which feature <\/span>longer cables, credit card payment slots and increased power output. (<\/span>V4 Superchargers are capable of delivering up to 325 kW, a 30% increase over V3’s 250kW).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Model Y uses a <\/span>CCS2 plug<\/span><\/a> in India. This makes it compatible with the existing EV charging infrastructure in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tesla Model Y will come with an 11.2 kW AC home charger. These home chargers can provide up to 70 km of range per hour of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Features:<\/b><\/p>\n

The front row of the Tesla Model Y comes with heated, ventilated recliner seats. The car features a 15.4 inch infotainment touchscreen in the front. Other features include <\/span>heated rear seats, a 9 speaker audio system, rear AC vents, 8 exterior cameras (for ADAS), panoramic glass roof, connected car tech, heate<\/span>d steering & windshield, a dashcam and an 8-inch rear touchscreen. The second row can be folded electronically via the 8-inch screen. Also, the panoramic glass roof is tinted so it doesn\u2019t warm up the cabin. The car gets \u2018double-glazed acoustic glass\u2019 windows to ensure the cabin remains as silent as possible. The Model Y comes with a generous boot space of 854 L, which expands to 2130 L with second row seats folded flat. There is also a 117 L frunk.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature allows for more autonomous driving capabilities with driver supervision, while the standard ADAS includes<\/span> features like lane departure warning & forward collision warning. However, Tesla states that some autonomous features will not be activated yet in India as they require regulatory approvals in specific regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/b><\/p>\n

The two variants of the Model Y are priced at Rs 59.89 lakh & Rs 67.89 lakh.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Indian market, the Tesla Model Y will compete against other premium electric cars, like the Mercedes-Benz EQB, BMW iX1, Volvo EC40, Kia EV6 and BYD SEALION 7.<\/span><\/p>\n
