Tesla Model Y: The India-Specific Line-Up
The Tesla Model Y comes in two options - both rear-wheel drive:
Variant | Battery | Claimed Range | Ex-Showroom Price |
RWD (Standard) | 60 kWh | 500 km | ₹59.89 lakh |
Long Range RWD | 75 kWh | 622 km | ₹67.89 lakh |
That’s the starting point. But what most buyers quickly realise is that this is just the beginning. You’ll have to make some choices - colour, interior, and maybe the optional Full Self Driving - before locking in that final price.
What Colours Can You Get?
There are six options. But here’s the catch - only one comes without any added cost. The rest will nudge your final amount upwards, depending on which shade you pick.
Colour | Extra Cost |
Stealth Grey | Included |
Pearl White Multi-Coat | ₹95,000 |
Diamond Black | ₹95,000 |
Glacier Blue | ₹1,25,000 |
Quicksilver | ₹1,85,000 |
Ultra Red | ₹1,85,000 |
Let’s examine them properly, not just in terms of price but also how they feel in real life, especially on Indian roads.
Stealth Grey: The Standard
If you don’t want to spend extra, this is what you get. Surprisingly, it doesn’t feel like a compromise. Stealth Grey is sharp and clean and works well in Indian driving conditions. It doesn’t scream for attention and doesn’t look dull either. For many, it’s all the colour they’ll ever need.
Pearl White Multi-Coat: Classy but Familiar
White is probably one of the safest colour choices in India. This version, though, is slightly different. It has a richer finish, thanks to the multi-coat layer. That extra ₹95,000 gives you something that looks more premium than a basic white sedan on the road.
Diamond Black: Sleek and Businesslike
Black always has a premium vibe, but this one takes it up a notch. The glossy finish makes it stand out at night and look elegant during the day. Just be prepared to wipe it clean more often - black isn’t great at hiding dust.
Glacier Blue: Light and Fresh
There’s something about this shade that feels refreshing. It’s not too bold, not too soft. Almost a summer tone. It looks great under sunlight, but still holds up well on cloudy days. At ₹1.25 lakh extra, it might be the sweet spot between unique and practical.
Quicksilver: For the Futurists
Now we’re stepping into statement territory. Quicksilver is modern, crisp, and makes the Model Y look like it just rolled off a sci-fi movie set. That ₹1.85 lakh premium is steep, but if your goal is to drive something that doesn’t look like anything else on Indian roads, this one’s worth a second look.
Ultra Red: Bold and Unapologetic
If you like being the centre of attention, Ultra Red has your name on it. It doesn’t hide. It’s confident, strong, and quite the opposite of what most Tesla owners go for. But sometimes, different is good. Just make sure you’re okay with people noticing your car every time you drive it.
Interior Themes: What’s Inside Matters Too
Tesla keeps it simple. You get a fully black interior by default, and it looks nice - clean lines, dark tones, and a modern feel. But for ₹95,000 more, you can swap that for a black-and-white theme.
It’s not just about style. The white accents brighten up the cabin, especially useful when you’ve got the glass roof above. If you pick Glacier Blue or Pearl White on the outside, this interior matches beautifully.
So, How Much Will It Actually Cost You?
Let’s do some quick math. Here are some possible combinations to help you estimate the final Tesla price based on your selections:
Variant | Ex-Showroom Price | Colour Chosen | Colour Cost | All Black Interior Cost | On-Road Price | Black and White Interior | Final Cost (on-road) |

Final Thoughts: So, What Should You Pick?
This part is entirely about you. If you want a no-fuss, classy look, go with Stealth Grey or Diamond Black. Want a bit more shine? Glacier Blue or Pearl White hit the mark. Looking to show off? Ultra Red has you covered.
Interior-wise, consider the climate where you live. That white dash might feel great in winter, but could reflect more light in peak summers. Budget will matter, too, especially with customisation stacking up quickly.
If you’re buying the Model Y, it’s not just an EV - it’s a statement. So, whether it’s subtle or striking, your car’s shade is the first impression it makes. Might as well get it right.
