Tesla’s yet to have electric start in India
Tesla has hit the slow lane soon after making its long-awaited entry into India’s rapidly growing luxury electric vehicle (EV) market.
The US carmaker delivered 48 cars in November-trailing leading luxury marques BMW and Mercedes-Benz, showed data from the government’s Vahan portal. Since September, when the company started selling its sole vehicle, the Model EY electric SUV, in India, Tesla has sold 157 units so far. BMW India sold 267 EVs in November. The German automaker sold 910 vehicles during September-November. Of this, the iX1 SUV, the main rival to Tesla’s EY, sold more than 150 units on average every month.
