Why Are Tesla Cars Expensive in India?
Tesla cars are currently imported as CBUs (Completely Built Units), which attract high import duties — up to 100% of the car’s cost. Unless Tesla sets up a local manufacturing or assembly unit, the pricing will remain steep. However, reports suggest that Tesla is in talks with the Indian government to establish a Gigafactory, which could significantly reduce costs in the future.
Features That Justify Tesla’s Premium Price Tag
Tesla cars come with cutting-edge technology and luxury features:
- Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capabilities
- Over-the-air software updates
- High-performance electric drivetrain
- Long-range battery packs (up to 600+ km on a single charge)
- Minimalist interiors with a large central touchscreen
- High safety ratings and crash performance
These features set Tesla apart from existing EV offerings in India.
