How much will a Tesla cost you in India? About double the price it is available for in the United States. And in India, the cost also depends on where you live. Tesla is only offering registrations in three Indian cities so far: Delhi, Mumbai, and Gurugram. The car will be the most expensive for those living in Gurugram.
Consider this: the Model Y Rear Wheel Drive will cost you Rs 66,76,831 on the road if you live in Gurugram. If you opt for the long-range version of Model Y, it will cost Rs 75,61,021. This price includes almost Rs 9 lakh in GST and road tax for both variants.
