What you need to know about the arrival of Tesla in India!

On January 8 this year, Tesla registered its Indian subsidiary in Bangalore. With its brand value and popularity, the news became trending in no time. However, experts believe that it is going to be a long road for Tesla in the Indian automobile market. 

Hurdles on the way

     Infrastructural barriers

At present, there are about 500 power stations in India when there is a requirement of at least 2600 as of now which limits the services for electric cars in India than for the motor cars.

     High price

The Indian market has one of the highest interest rates in the world. Taxes that reach up to 50% and high import duties can result in a potential barrier. However with time, if the company starts manufacturing in India, electric cars may become affordable. 

     Autopilot mode

Considering Indian Road conditions and driving practices, it will be a task for the Indian audience to enjoy the autopilot mode of the car. 

     Electric over fossil

There is still a large portion of Indian population unaware of the environmental hazards caused by motor vehicles. For the company to do well in the market, more awareness and education needs to be spread about going electric as the Indian audience is unaware of environmental problems posed by motor vehicles.

 

Tesla's debutant

Tesla is preparing to debut on the Indian roads with the model 3 Sedan. It is the company's most affordable model and will come to India as a CBU.

     Design

Unique LED headlamps and tail lamps, strong character lines over the wheel arches add on to the design of the car.

     Features

From a ginormous touch screen to autopilot mode, model 3 is loaded with features in the US. However, it is unknown if the company will offer these features in India or not. 

     Price

Looks like even Tesla's most affordable car is likely to appeal the Indians considering its extravagant price. The starting price is expected to range from about INR 55 - 60 lakh.

 

Upcoming Electric cars in 2021:

Apart from model3 Tesla, other EVs are also set to enter the market in 2021.

     Mahindra XUV300 Electric with a range of 300 km in a single charge.

     BMW i3, lightweight vehicle offering 128-150 km in a single charge.

     Tata Altroz EV with a 30kWh battery and a range of 300 km on a single charge.

     Triton Electric Vehicles, a US-based company planning to launch its N4 Sedan at INR 35 lakh.
