Tesla Model Y Deliveries Begin: Over a month after its official India entry with the opening of its first showroom in Mumbai, Tesla has commenced deliveries of the Model Y electric crossover in India. According to Bloomberg, the deliveries will initially be limited to four major Indian cities, namely Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram, and Pune. Tesla has its second experience centre in Delhi's Aerocity, with the third one expected to come up in Sohna Road, Gurugram.

First Tesla Model Y Delivered: Watch Video

Elon Musk-owned Tesla, which has garnered 600 bookings for the Model Y in India since launch in July, has delivered the first unit to Maharashtra’s Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik. A video, released by news agency ANI, is a testament to that.

The video captures Pratap Sarnaik taking delivery of his all-white Tesla Model Y at the company's experience centre at Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai, Maharashtra. Tesla inaugurated its Mumbai experience centre in mid-July. 'It is a matter of pride for me. I did not get this car at any discount; I bought it by paying the full amount. I plan to use this Tesla to drop my grandson off at school so that more people see it, learn about electric vehicles, and are encouraged to adopt them,' said Sarnaik.
