Beyond the car specs, Tesla cars are known for its cutting-edge automotive technology such as its Autopilot features and Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised as well as other unique features such as Bioweapon defence mode.

Tesla launched on Tuesday its Model Y at about $70,000 in India, a significant markup relative to its other major markets, reflecting the country's high tariffs on electric vehicle imports which CEO Elon Musk has long-criticised.

Tesla enters the Indian market with Model Y, priced at ₹59.89–67.89 lakh—over double its US price due to steep import duties. As charging infrastructure begins rollout, experts question Tesla’s pricing and call for local manufacturing to enable broader adoption.
