Elon Musk-run Tesla set to inaugurate Delhi showroom today
New Delhi: Elon Musk-run electric car-maker Tesla was all set to enter the national capital on Monday with opening its second showroom in India. The US automaker was set to inaugurate its showroom in the upscale Worldmark 3 complex at Aerocity in the national capital. It will cater to customers in the national capital region -- a key hub for India's electric mobility push. Tesla's India portfolio currently includes the Model Y electric SUV in two configurations. The standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) version is priced at Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Long Range RWD variant is available at Rs 67.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Deliveries for both are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025. In a post on social media platform X, Tesla had posted, 'Arriving in Delhi - stay tuned," along with a graphic showcasing its upcoming arrival in the national capital. This follows the opening of the company's first India showroom in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex on July 15. The high-profile Mumbai launch was attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who praised Tesla's entry into the state and invited the company to set up R&D and manufacturing facilities there. Tesla Model Y is available in two versions: a standard rear-wheel drive with a 60 kWh battery offering a WLTP-certified range of 500 km, and a long-range rear-wheel drive variant with a 75 kWh battery delivering up to 622 km on a single charge. Deliveries will be prioritised for buyers in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Gurugram, with vehicles transported on flat-bed trucks directly to customers' homes. The company has also updated its website to allow vehicle registration across all states and union territories, expanding access beyond its initial launch cities. While Tesla lists its full self-driving (FSD) feature as an optional extra for Rs 6 lakh, the advanced capability will be introduced in India at a later stage.

World's best-selling car is now even better as Tesla updates Model Y
Exterior looks, interior quality and all-round practicality have all received a boost. Of course, there wasn't a lot wrong with the Model Y prior to the latest upgrade, hence it claimed the mantle of the world's best selling car in 2023 and 2024. But it's a competitive market and Tesla was determined to continue striding ahead. The Tesla Model Y Launch Edition has clean and confident lines This likeable SUV has undergone extensive re-engineering to maximise efficiency, comfort, connectivity, and safety, with a completely redesigned interior and exterior. The Model Y is a very efficient electric car, with a range to rival the best electric SUVs. The AWD Launch Edition, tested here, offers a WLTP-certified range of 353 miles. Charging speeds of 250kW are among the best, meaning you should be able to add around 150 miles of range in 15 minutes at a Supercharger. The Supercharger network is reassuring for Tesla drivers when it comes to charger availability The suspension, wheels and tyres have also been updated to ensure a smoother and quieter ride. The first thing you notice is the redesigned exterior, featuring improved aerodynamics. It features a lower front-end with a full-width, three-piece lightbar. Below it, a redesigned front fascia enhances width and stability, integrating aerodynamic ducts for improved efficiency. At the rear, an innovative 1.6m lightbar uses indirect reflected lighting, making it one of the industry's largest. The redesigned tailgate looks smart The redesigned tailgate, spoiler, and extended diffuser enhance aerodynamics, stability, and impact protection. A revamped tow hitch features a quick-release cover for ease of use. Tesla Vision, relying solely on cameras and neural networks, gives the Model Y an edge in aerodynamic development. Other new aerodynamic features include a thermoplastic rear spoiler and ultra-efficient 19-inch wheels. A new front camera, now integrated into the fascia, provides an expanded view, complete with a fluid washer and heating for fog prevention and defrosting. The Model Y remains the most efficient SUV in its class, with the Rear-Wheel Drive variant achieving just 13.9kWh/100km—lower than many small city cars. With Tesla's Supercharger network and Trip Planner, long-distance travel feels stress-free. The cabin has an uncluttered feel In terms of the cabin, a strong emphasis has been placed on interior refinement. It's a pleasant and relaxing place to be, with premium aluminium and textile materials found throughout, along with ambient lighting that each driver can customise to their own liking. One criticism of previous models was that wind noise at high speeds was a little intrusive. Tesla has tackled that issue with 360-degree acoustic glass and other sound-dampening materials, reducing road and wind noise by as much as 22 per cent. Ride comfort has been improved with a stiffer body, redesigned suspension geometry, and damping tech. The vehicle has a mature and sleek appearance from all angles A refined front suspension and steering ratio has boosted highway stability, while optimised rear suspension reduces impact harshness and improves ride quality over rough roads. The redesigned front seats are more comfortable and better ventilated than before, while the new centre console features smooth-sliding aluminium doors, extra storage, and cupholders. The cabin remains minimalist and uncluttered, but a design flourish comes in the form of aluminium accents that now enhance the steering wheel, door trims, and instrument panel. Steering wheel controls offer quick access to key functions, while a precision-engineered indicator stalk ensures effortless use. The upgraded Tesla audio system delivers an immersive experience with up to 16 speakers. It's not easy to make significant improvements to the world's best selling car, but Tesla has achieved just that. Tesla Model Y Launch Edition RANGE: 353 miles (WLTP) TOP SPEED: 125 mph 0-60MPH: 4.1 seconds PAINT COLOURS: Black and Quicksilver INTERIOR: Black WHEELS: 20' Helix 2.0 Wheels ACCESSORIES: Tow hitch included PRICE: Launch Edition no longer available for sale but was originally £60,990.
