Tesla Model Y Launches in India: Mixed Reactions Online
Tesla's Model Y electric car is now available for people to buy all over India.
People are excited, but some think the price is too high.
The cars are made in China, which makes them more expensive because of import taxes.
There are two types of Model Y: one with a shorter range and one with a longer range.
You can also pay extra for a feature that lets the car drive itself.
Many people shared their feelings on social media, including jokes about the price and features.
Tesla Model Y is now available for order across India.
The launch sparked a mixed reaction on social media, with excitement and criticism.
Pricing is considered steep due to import duties on the China-made Model Y.
Two Model Y variants are offered: RWD and RWD Long Range.
Full Self-Driving feature is available at an additional cost.
