Final Verdict:

Tesla Model Y makes a strong debut in the Indian EV market, offering an excellent combination of brand reputation, driving range, modern design, and tech-rich interiors. However, adding optional extras like color upgrades, interior finish, and self-driving capability can push the price above ₹70 lakh.

While it competes well in terms of performance and practicality, it still lacks key features like ultrasonic sensors or 360-degree cameras, which could be a concern for buyers at this price point.
