Tesla entered India's market for the first time on Monday, making its Model Y SUV available and opening its first showroom in the nation.

With delivery estimated to start from the third quarter, Tesla will drive on to India's busy roads, targeting a niche premium EV segment that accounts for just 4% of overall sales in the world's third-largest car market.

Beyond the car specs, Tesla cars are known for its cutting-edge automotive technology such as its Autopilot features and Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised as well as other unique features such as Bioweapon defence mode.
