New Delhi, June 17
US-based auto maker Tesla opened its fifth Experience Centre in Hyderabad's HITEC City on Wednesday, where customers can view the new 2026 Model Y Premium Rear‑Wheel Drive and Model Y L.
Visitors around the area can explore the vehicles through guided walkarounds and immersive product experiences provided by Tesla Advisors, the statement from Tesla said.
The company has begun delivery and after‑sales services in the Bollaram Industrial Area to support owners across Telangana.
"Customers can learn about Tesla's design philosophy, cutting-edge electric vehicle technology, safety features, and performance capabilities in an interactive environment," the statement said about the experience centre.
The company said both models are available to order on Tesla's official website and that customers who place orders before June 30, 2026, will receive a complimentary Wall Connector.
Tesla also offers home Charging support across all states in India ensuring a smooth ownership experience and redefining convenience in sustainable transportation.
Both models have received top safety ratings from multiple globally renowned safety organisations, including NHTSA and IIHS (United States), Euro NCAP (Europe), ANCAP (Australia and New Zealand), and C-IASI (China).
The newly launched 2026 Model Y Premium Rear‑Wheel Drive offers 2,138 litres of storage, seating for five, power‑folding seats, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.9 seconds and a Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test (WLTP) range of up to 500 km.
The Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive is available in India at Rs 50,89,000 with a down payment of Rs 6 lakh and monthly EMI starting from Rs 39,990, with Deliveries commencing in July 2026.
The Model Y L is All-Wheel Drive SUV engineered as the ultimate family vehicle. It offers a range of up to 681 km (WLTP), 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 5 seconds, and a cargo space of up to 2,539 litres.

Thrilled to see Tesla investing in HITEC City! 🚗⚡ We need more EV infrastructure in Telangana. The Wall Connector offer till June 30 is smart. But Rs 39,990 EMI for 6 lakh down payment? Only IT folks in Hyderabad can afford that easily!
Good move by Tesla but honestly, without a local manufacturing plant, prices will stay high. The Model Y RWD at Rs 50 lakh is still out of reach for most Indians. Also, what about charging stations beyond metros? Just saying.
The 681 km range on Model Y L is impressive! Perfect for family trips. But I wish they had mentioned service costs – EVs are great but battery replacement scares middle-class buyers like us. Still, nice to see global safety ratings from all agencies.
As someone who moved from the UK to Bangalore, it's great seeing Tesla expand here. But Indian roads and traffic? That Model Y L acceleration (0-100 in 5 sec) is almost wasted in city jams. Good for highway trips though. Hope they offer test drives soon!
Experience centres are fine, but what about spare parts availability? My cousin owns a Tesla in Mumbai and had to wait 2 months for a replacement part. The after-sales support in Bollaram is a start but needs to scale up. Still, happy to see EV adoption growing in India! 🚗
