The Tesla Model Y has finally arrived in India, ending years of speculation and, obviously, the wait! Since it has taken the completely built-up (CBU) route, the price is on the relatively higher side, courtesy of the import duties. The electric car is being offered in two rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variants. Let us have a closer look at both of them with a focus on the differences.
The Model Y has entered the Indian market in the standard RWD trim and the Long Range RWD trim.
