Auto
Tesla just dropped its second car in India, the spacious, six-seater Model Y L SUV, priced at ₹61.99 lakh.
Deliveries kick off in June, but so far only 342 Teslas have been registered here, falling short of the company's 2,500-unit target.
Tesla blames 110% duty, adds chargers
Blame the steep ₹61.99 lakh price tag on a massive 110% import duty: Tesla hasn't gone for local manufacturing yet, which could've made things cheaper.
Still, they're pushing ahead by adding 20 Superchargers across five stations and opening new service centers in Mumbai, Gurugram, Delhi, and Pune, with four more cities to be added this quarter to make owning a Tesla more practical for Indian drivers.
