Tesla Opens Shop In Bengaluru's Whitefield Area, After Mumbai And Delhi

Tesla has launched its new experience center in Whitefield, Bengaluru, India's tech capital. Starting May 14, 2026, visitors can check out the Model Y, alongside the recently launched Tesla Model Y L, the six-seat SUV. To keep up with India's growing interest in electric vehicles and advance its vision of a cleaner, better world, Tesla is also rolling out after-sales service in Whitefield, making ownership smoother and more reliable for Bengaluru customers.

The brand states that the Tesla Model Y L six-seater electric SUV with a 5-star safety rating in ANCAP, is designed as the ultimate family vehicle.  Model Y L offers a range of up to 681 km (WLTP), 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 5.0 seconds, and cargo space of up to 2,539 L, providing more interior space, versatility, and utility for family users. With the three-row design, Model Y L maximizes headroom, legroom, and comfort to give a unique experience to the driver and the passengers.

Tesla vehicles are engineered for safety. Both Model Y L and Model Y have received the highest safety ratings in multiple renowned global safety organizations, including NHTSA and IIHS (America), Euro NCAP (Europe), ANCAP (Australia and New Zealand), and CIASI (China), setting new benchmarks in safety, efficiency, performance, and advanced technology.

Both the Model Y Long Range and Model Y L share the same 83 kWh battery and top out at 250 kW charging speed. Yet the Model Y L actually squeezes out 20 km more range on a full charge, which is pretty remarkable given that it's the bigger car and runs an all-wheel-drive system that adds extra weight.

The gap holds up at the Supercharger, too. In just 15 minutes, the Model Y L delivers 288 km of range versus 267 km for the Model Y Long Range, that's 21 km more from the same charging stop.

Further, the brand also emphasises that the seamless "Plug In, Charge and Go" experience enables convenient and stress-free long-distance travel, making electric mobility practical for everyday use. In addition, home charging support is available in India to ensure a smooth and efficient ownership experience while redefining convenience in sustainable transportation.
