The vehicle prioritizes ride comfort and refinement, incorporating acoustic glass, an enhanced suspension system, and adaptive damping technology to improve handling and minimize road vibrations.
For an elevated in-car experience, it includes an 18-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, alongside connected features such as live traffic visualization, satellite-view maps, real-time camera access, and streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Netflix.
The starting price for the Model Y L is set at Rs 61.99 lakh, with financing options available from Rs 49,000 per month. This launch signifies another milestone in Tesla’s growth in India, where the company is also enhancing its charging and service infrastructure.
