Tesla Motors launched its first showroom at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai on Tuesday, as the India website of the world’s most valued EV maker went live, revealing the cars on offer and their prices. It currently lists only the Model Y in two variants—Rear-wheel Drive starting at ₹61,07,190 on-road and Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive starting at ₹69,15,190 in Mumbai.
Tesla launches its first Experience Centre in the world’s third-largest car market earlier today in the presence of Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis.
