Tesla Expands Supercharger Network

With the network spread across 5 locations in 3 cities, the latest ‘Supercharger’ is now operational at Nexus Seawoods Mall in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. At this location, the EV maker has installed 4 AC fast-chargers and 4 DC fast-chargers respectively for a total capacity of charging 8 EVs at any given time. 

Notably, this development will allow Tesla customers visiting the area to top-up their EVs at a super-fast rate of up to 250kW. This means that Model Y drivers can add up to 275 km of range in just 15 minutes of charging which will be especially useful for undertaking longer road trips.

About The Tesla Model Y

Tesla’s sole offering in India currently is its coupe-SUV, called the Model Y. In terms of design, the SUV is unmistakable as a Tesla in its minimalistic design language. Up front, it gets a connected LED light bar and vertically stacked LED headlamps. 

The side profile features flush-fit door handles, the coupe-like roofline and 19-inch alloy wheels. The rear-end styling too is minimal with a connected LED taillamp cluster taking centre stage. There is also a heavily cladded bumper along with a bootlid-integrated spoiler for added sportiness. 

The Model Y’s equipment list includes a 16-inch touchscreen infotainment system, powered, heated and ventilated front seats, 8-inch touchscreen for rear occupants, 9-speaker sound system and a powered tailgate.

Safety features include multiple airbags, built-in dashcam, 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake (EPB), electronic stability control (ESC) and a lot more. You can also opt for the full self-driving capabilities for a price of Rs 6 lakh, which will be rolled out in the future via a software update.
