To make the Tesla Model Y more attractive in India, the American carmaker has announced a new finance scheme that significantly reduces the monthly ownership cost. The company has now introduced EMI options starting at Rs 49,000 per month with a down payment of Rs 6 lakh.The Model Y is currently sold in India in two variants: rear-wheel drive and Long Range rear-wheel drive. Prices are Rs 59.89 lakh and Rs 67.89 lakh respectively, ex-showroom. Tesla reportedly sold 227 units in India last year from an initial batch of 300 vehicles. With the new financing plan, Tesla is attempting to make the Model Y more accessible. Although the company has not disclosed the interest rate associated with the EMI plan, the final monthly payment will depend on the loan tenure and the terms and conditions of the lender.
In terms of performance, the standard rear-wheel-drive Model Y offers a WLTP-certified range of 500 km. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds and its top speed is 201 kmph. The long range version increases the WLTP range to 661 km, with a slightly faster acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.6 seconds, while maintaining the same top speed.The company has recently offered a good discount of lakhs of rupees on this electric car. By combining a discount of Rs 2 lakh with a low monthly EMI, Tesla is clearly aiming to revive interest in its only India-bound model.
