- Model S – Rumored to arrive around January 2026; expected to cost ₹70 lakh+ (CarWale, CarWale)
📌 Why such high prices in India?
- Import duties on fully‑built imported EVs exceed 100%, and luxury taxes add further cost (Reuters)
- Tesla currently imports CBUs (“completely built units”)—no local assembly yet, driving up costs (AP News)
- Positioned as a premium EV brand competing with BMW and Mercedes, rather than mass-market EVs (Financial Times)
✅ Should you consider buying?
- Elsewhere in India? Registration now open nationwide, though delivery priority is in Mumbai, Delhi, Gurugram, and Pune (www.ndtv.com)
- Ready for electric luxury? Model Y offers excellent range, performance, and advanced tech—but at a luxury-car price
- Future prospects: If Tesla begins local manufacturing or kit assembly, prices could fall significantly. Meanwhile, there are strong local EV alternatives (Tata, MG, BYD) in more affordable segments.
