In terms of dimensions, the Model Y measures 4,790 mm in length, 1,982 mm in width, and 1,624 mm in height, with a ground clearance of 167 mm. It rides on 19-inch wheels and has a kerb weight of 1,928 kg for the Standard variant and 1,901 kg for the Long Range.
Tesla offers the SUV in six exterior colour options. Stealth Grey is the standard finish, while other colours such as Pearl White Multi-Coat and Diamond Black cost Rs 95,000 extra. Glacier Blue is priced at Rs 1.25 lakh, and both Quicksilver and Ultra Red come at a premium of Rs 1.85 lakh. Buyers can also opt for a beige-and-black interior theme for an additional Rs 95,000.

The Model Y in India comes equipped with features including a 15.4-inch central touchscreen and a secondary 8.0-inch display for rear passengers. It also includes powered, heated, and ventilated front seats, electrically folding and heated rear seats, a 9-speaker audio system, ambient lighting, powered air-conditioning vents for both front and rear passengers, a panoramic glass roof, built-in dashcam functionality, eight external cameras and more.
An optional Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature is also available at an additional cost of Rs 6 lakh. While this system provides near-autonomous driving capability in markets where it is legally permitted, its functionality in India is likely to depend on future regulatory approvals.
Bookings for the Model Y are now open, with an initial reservation amount of Rs 22,220, followed by a booking amount of Rs 3 lakh within one week. The SUV is being imported as a completely built unit (CBU), with deliveries of the Standard Range variant expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025. The Long-Range variant will follow in the fourth quarter of the same year.
Tesla offers a warranty of 4 years or 80,000 km on the entire vehicle, whichever comes first. In addition, the battery and drive unit are covered by an 8-year or 1.92 lakh km warranty, whichever occurs first.
Tesla plans to establish four charging stations each in Mumbai and Delhi, featuring a total of 16 Superchargers in both cities. Additionally, Mumbai will see the installation of 16 Destination Chargers, while Delhi will have 15.
