The first step involves visiting Tesla.com and changing the country to India. In some cases, it may automatically direct you to the Indian website. The next step is to select “Order Now” and set your location. You then get the option to choose from two variants, the standard variant, which has an ex-showroom price of Rs 59.98 lakh and the Long-range version, which retails at Rs 67.89 lakh. Once you are done with that, you come to the most confusing yet interesting part: choosing exterior and interior colour options. Here’s a look at the exterior colour options, and a look at the premium you would have to pay for some of the options: Colour Rs 1.85 Lakh So spending up to almost Rs 2 lakh for a colour might not be illogical, but if you are willing to buy a Tesla, then you might as well get the colour of your choice. Once you are done choosing your hue, you get to spec the interior colour theme. As standard, it comes with an all-black cabin that’s free of cost, but if you want the white and black scheme, then you would have to shell out an extra Rs 95,000. The next step is to decide if you want Tesla’s self-driving package, which comes at an additional Rs 6 lakh! Lastly, you have to pay the booking amount of Rs 22,000, and it’s important to note that the amount is non-refundable. Tesla also provides you with an Auto loan option for those who are not willing to make the entire payment up front. You can either pay the booking amount through your cards, or you can also pay via India’s favourite payment method, UPI! So once you are finally done with the payment, patience is the key, as your Tesla will arrive in Q3 of 2025 as a fully imported model. To know more about the Model Y, check out this story.
