Hyderabad, June 17
Electric vehicle maker Tesla has expanded its presence in India with the launch of its fifth Experience Center in Hyderabad's HITEC City, while also commencing delivery and after-sales services in Telangana as it deepens its footprint in the country's growing EV market.
The company said the new Experience Center, located in Knowledge City, Madhapur, will allow customers to experience the "2026 Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and Model Y L" from June 17 onwards.
According to Tesla, visitors will be able to explore the vehicles through "guided walkarounds and immersive product experiences" and learn about the company's "design philosophy, cutting-edge electric vehicle technology, safety features, and performance capabilities in an interactive environment."
As part of its expansion plans in Telangana, Tesla said it has also started delivery and after-sales operations in the Bollaram Industrial Area.
"To create a seamless and direct-to-consumer experience for customers in Hyderabad, Tesla also commences delivery and after-sales services in the Bollaram Industrial Area to support a seamless ownership experience for customers across Telangana," the company said.
Tesla said the newly launched 2026 Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive offers a range of up to 500 kilometres (WLTP) and can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 5.9 seconds. The vehicle is priced at Rs 50.89 lakh and deliveries are scheduled to begin in July 2026.
The Hyderabad Experience Center will also showcase the Model Y L, a six-seat, all-wheel-drive SUV that Tesla described as the "ultimate family vehicle."
According to the company, the Model Y L offers a range of up to 681 kilometres (WLTP), can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 5.0 seconds, and comes with cargo space of up to 2,539 litres. The model is priced from Rs 61.99 lakh.
Highlighting safety credentials, Tesla said both vehicles have received top ratings from global safety agencies, including NHTSA and IIHS in the United States, Euro NCAP in Europe, ANCAP in Australia and New Zealand, and C-IASI in China.
The company said the models are "setting new benchmarks in safety, efficiency, performance, and advanced technology."
Tesla added that both Model Y variants are now available for booking through its official website and that home charging support is available across India.
The company also announced a limited-period offer under which customers placing orders before June 30, 2026, will receive a complimentary Wall Connector for home charging.

Great news for Hyderabad's tech corridor! HITEC City is the perfect place for a Tesla experience center. The Model Y L with 681 km range is a game-changer for family road trips. But pricing is still steep compared to local options like the Tata Harrier EV that's coming.
I'm thrilled Tesla is finally taking India seriously. The safety ratings from global agencies are reassuring – we need safer cars on our roads. But delivery in July 2026? That's a two-year wait! By then, Hyundai and BYD will have more competitive offerings. Keep the momentum going, Tesla! 🚗⚡
The free Wall Connector offer is nice, but what about charging infrastructure? In India, range anxiety is real when highway chargers are few. Also, at ₹50-62 lakh, it's competing with luxury ICE cars. Tata and Mahindra need to step up their game to compete with Tesla's technology. Interesting times ahead!
As a Hyderabad local, I'm excited to visit the new center! The 2,539L cargo space in the Model Y L is perfect for our big family trips. But honestly, for the same price, I could buy a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and a small EV for city use. Tesla needs to understand the Indian mass market better. Still, props for bringing cutting-edge tech here! 🙌
Impressive specs – 0-100 in 5.9 seconds for the RWD and 5.0 for the AWD is super quick. But let's be real: most Indian roads won't
