Tesla has made changes to its popular Model Y L. This car can now accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.5 seconds. According to the company's statement, this improvement allows it to reach this speed 0.5 seconds faster compared to the previous version.
However, it should be noted that this performance increase is not available on all Model Y L units. Changes to the exterior and interior design of the car are also absent; the appearance remains the same.
These updates will be available for vehicles purchased after October 1, 2026. The price of the Tesla Model Y L starts from 61.99 lakh rupees for the display model. With an initial down payment of 6.5 lakh rupees, the monthly payment will be 49,990 rupees. Currently, no official discounts are offered on this model.
Despite the improved acceleration, the stated range of the Tesla Model Y L remains at 681 kilometers, consistent with the figures of the previous version. It is important to note that actual mileage depends on many factors, including driving conditions, speed, and weather. The car is equipped with an 88 kWh battery pack.
The Model Y L is equipped with an all-wheel-drive system and dual motors. Although Tesla has not officially disclosed detailed powertrain specifications, it is assumed that the car can produce 514 horsepower and 590 Nm of torque. The maximum speed is 201 kilometers per hour.
According to the company, using a Tesla Supercharger station, the Model Y L can cover a distance of up to 288 kilometers after a charging session of only 15 minutes. The car supports both fast DC charging at 250 kW and AC charging up to 11 kW. Tesla is actively expanding its charging network in the Indian market.
Currently, the Tesla network includes 20 Superchargers and 28 Destination Chargers. By the end of 2026, the company plans to add three more new locations to this list. In the premium electric vehicle market, the Model Y L competes with models such as the BMW iX1 and BYD Sealion 7.
