Tesla model y car experience

I have driven this vehicle around 400 km,on the behalf of this much driver I can say driving of tesla is goosebumps,so much comfortable, hesitation free,no fear of any collision or accident,so much safely feature, look wise from external to internal is amazing, I want to recommend this car to all which afford to it ,dont buy other car in car category I can say it is single men army.

Should be manufactured in India

No value for money. Should be manufactured in India and should be priced around 50L not more than that. On road price, many good options are there. After investing around 75L people prefer brand value. Can go for xc60 around 70L on the road

Tesla’s India journey is finally taking shape, and what better way to kick it off than with the Model Y, currently the brand’s most popular car globally. We recently got a brief taste of this offbeat EV on Mumbai roads.
