Tesla Model 3 In Bangalore — Performance EV Imported Privately Ahead Of Tesla’s India Launch

Tesla announced its entry into the Indian market several months ago and registered itself in the country a few days after the start of this year. Post this, there have been numerous spy shots of the brand's entry-level model, the Tesla Model 3 being tested with camouflage.

That being said, Tesla is planning to officially launch the vehicle by the end of this year. Meanwhile, a family in Bengaluru has already taken delivery of a Tesla Model 3. The vehicle delivered is a Tesla Model 3 in its dual-motor setup finished in a lovely shade of Red.

The picture of this particular vehicle has already started doing rounds on various social media platforms. In the USA, the Tesla Model 3 range starts at $39,990, which is around Rs 29.76 lakh in today's exchange rates. However, because Tesla will be sold in India as a CBU, the prices are expected to jump up considerably.

We expect the Model 3 to be priced above Rs 70 lakh. It is said that the base model of the Tesla Model 3 can do 423 kilometres on a single charge, while a sprint from 0 to 100km/h takes just 6 seconds.

The top-end variant can do 586 kilometres on a single charge and the 0-100km/h dash takes just about 3 seconds.

Thoughts On Tesla Model 3 In Bangalore

If Tesla prices the Model 3 at around Rs 70 Lakh, a huge chunk of premium car buyers in Tier 1 cities and Tier 2 cities will be flocking to book their first luxury EV. Until then though, Bangaloreans can feast their eyes on this private import.
