The first model to be introduced is the Tesla Model 3, and this premium edition is expected to cost around 60-70 lakh rupees (ex-showroom). The deliveries from the automakers plan to commence later in the year only.
Tesla is not likely to collaborate with any distributors and other showrooms, as the company plans on promoting itself through digital sales, and plans to work independently.
