Tesla offers the Model Y in India in two main variants: the Standard Rear-Wheel Drive and the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive. The ex-showroom prices range roughly from 59.89 lakh for the base model to 67.89 lakh for the Long Range version. An optional Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability package is available at an additional cost.

2. Battery and Range

The base Standard RWD variant uses a smaller battery pack and has a WLTP-certified range of about 500 km on a full charge. The Long Range RWD version initially carried a larger pack rated at around 622 km WLTP, but Tesla has since upgraded this with an even bigger battery, boosting WLTP-certified range to approximately 661 km without altering the price.

3. Power and Performance

The Model Y in India is configured as a five-seat SUV with a flat floor and typical Tesla proportions. It shares its platform and most core mechanicals with the global Model Y specification, offering generous cabin space and cargo capacity relative to its footprint.

5. Charging Capability

The Model Y supports DC fast charging via the CCS-II standard. With compatible high-power chargers, it can accept significant power input, enabling substantial range recovery in short stops. AC home charging is supported through Tesla’s wall connector solutions, with charge times dependent on local supply and equipment.

These points reflect the latest verified specifications for the Tesla Model Y as offered in India.
