An Imported Long-Range Tesla Model Y has been Spotted in India

While Elon Musk has stated that he will not bring Tesla vehicles to India unless his demands are met, the rich and famous are not deterred from importing a Tesla vehicle. A privately imported long-range Tesla Model Y on a Bengaluru street has now surfaced online.

The car is shown at a washing shop in posts shared on social media by carcrazy.India, with the tailgate and left side door open. Model Y is a crossover version of Model 3 that is slightly more expensive than Model 3, Tesla's entry-level vehicle that was supposed to arrive in India last year.

According to Tesla, the long-range Model Y can transport 7 passengers and their luggage. Each second-row seat folds flat independently, allowing for versatile storage of skis, furniture, luggage, and other items. The liftgate opens to reveal a low trunk floor, making loading and unloading simple and quick.

The long-range variant has a driving range of 524 kilometers and a top speed of 217 kilometers per hour. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Musk stated last month that Tesla will not manufacture cars in India unless it is permitted to sell and service its electric vehicles.
