Tesla has officially arrived in India with the launch of its best-selling electric crossover, the Model Y. Available in two rear-wheel-drive (RWD) versions, Standard and Long-Range, the EV starts at ₹59.89 lakh (ex-showroom), with bookings now open in select metro cities.

BYD undercuts Tesla quite significantly. The Sealion 7 Premium variant is priced at ₹ 48.90 lakh, while the high-performance AWD version costs ₹ 54.90 lakh (both ex-showroom). BYD’s aggressive pricing strategy makes the Sealion 7 a compelling alternative for those seeking a feature-rich and high-performance EV without crossing the ₹ 60 lakh mark.
