Tesla Expands In India With New Experience Centre In Hyderabad
Tesla has opened a new experience centre in Hyderabad and showcased the Model Y electric SUV lineup.
Tesla has launched a new experience centre in Hyderabad (Telangana), becoming the fifth Indian city to get one. This centre has been set up in HITEC City as Tesla continues to expand its presence in India.
Customers can visit the new Tesla experience centre in the HITEC City area to explore the company's vehicles. Tesla has also opened a service centre in the Bollaram Industrial Area. With this addition, Hyderabad joins New Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram and Bengaluru as cities with a Tesla experience centre.
However, Tesla currently operates Supercharger stations only in Mumbai and Gurugram. The company is expected to expand its charging network to more cities in the future.
At the opening of the centre, Tesla showcased its lineup of vehicles that could be available in India. Specifically, two versions of the Model Y were displayed, both of which are electric SUVs.
- Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): This is the standard version and offers a claimed range of up to 500 km on a single charge.
- Model Y Long Wheelbase (L): This extended-wheelbase version offers a claimed range of up to 681 km and is also available in a six-seat configuration.
Both models are manufactured in China and imported into India as completely built units (CBUs). As of now, Tesla does not manufacture vehicles in India.
The Model Y RWD is priced from Rs 50.89 lakh, while the Long Wheelbase version starts at Rs 61.99 lakh. Tesla has already started deliveries of the Long Wheelbase variant in India.
India's electric vehicle market continues to grow, with brands such as Tata Motors and Mahindra currently holding a strong position. Tesla is one of the world's largest EV manufacturers and is gradually expanding its footprint in the country. Hyderabad, with its large technology workforce, could become an important market for the brand.
