Tesla Model X Electric SUV Spotted In Bengaluru, Deets Inside
Tesla Inc., the prominent American electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, is gearing up for the launch of its Indian subsidiary, Tesla India Motors and Energy Private Ltd. In a recent development, a Tesla Model X, the company’s premium EV Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), was sighted navigating the streets of Bengaluru in Karnataka, as reported by Cartoq.
The identified Model X sported an international license plate, leading to speculation that Tesla executives have been actively testing and driving it in and around Bengaluru. The Tesla Model X has garnered attention as North Bangalore Post shared images of a red Model X, captured at a traffic signal in a recent tweet. The two images showcase the sleek vehicle in a brief pause. Moreover, reports of sightings continue to surface, with the latest one occurring near Minsk Square, in proximity to the Cubbon Park metro station.
The presence of a Dubai license plate on the spotted Tesla Model X suggests that it is probably a Carnet import for corporate executives. This development comes as Tesla prepares to officially enter the Indian market. Reports from December 2023 indicated that the company was expected to announce its entry into India during this month’s Vibrant Gujarat Summit held in Gandhinagar.
Tesla is currently finalizing negotiations with the Indian government to secure land for the establishment of its manufacturing facility. Sanand, Becharaji, or Dholera in Gujarat are potential locations for the first manufacturing facility. The upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Summit is anticipated to be a significant event for Tesla as it plans to sign Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) during the event.
In addition to their manufacturing plans in India, Tesla has expressed their intention to manufacture a Rs 17 lakh electric vehicle specifically designed for the Indian automotive market. This affordable electric vehicle is already in the works and will cater to emerging markets, including the Indo-Pacific region.
The Tesla Model X, which was spotted at a traffic signal in Bengaluru, is one of the world’s most powerful and popular electric SUVs. It offers two electric powertrains, including a long-range variant and a stronger Plaid variant. The Plaid variant can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 2.5 seconds, making it the fastest SUV in terms of acceleration.
Excitement is building as Tesla’s official entry into the Indian market draws closer. With sightings of the Tesla Model X in Bengaluru, it seems that the company is actively conducting tests and preparing for its upcoming launch. As the Indian government and Tesla continue to negotiate and finalize their plans, automotive enthusiasts and potential buyers eagerly await more news and updates regarding Tesla’s foray into the Indian electric vehicle market.
