Elon Musk congratulates businessman Siddharth Jain for joining the Tesla family

Tesla CEO Elon Musk extended his congratulations to Siddharth Jain after the latter became the first Indian businessman to own a Tesla Model Y electric vehicle. Jain, who serves as the Executive Director of the Inox Group, shared his excitement about the milestone on X (formerly Twitter).

In his post, Jain wrote, “This one’s for you ElonMusk!!! I am beyond thrilled to receive India Inc’s 1st Tesla! I have been waiting for this precious moment ever since I visited the Tesla Fremont factory in 2017! Dreams do come true!” Musk responded with a simple “Congrats!”.

Over a month after its India debut, Tesla handed over its first car—a white Model Y—to Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik in Mumbai.

The Tesla Model Y is available in two variants tailored for the Indian market: the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and the Long Range RWD.

RWD: Priced at ₹59.89 lakh (ex-showroom), this variant comes with a 60kWh battery, offering a claimed range of 500km and a 0-100 kmph acceleration time of 5.9 seconds.

Long Range RWD: Priced at ₹67.89 lakh (ex-showroom), this model features a 75kWh battery, extending the range to 622km with a 0-100 kmph time of 5.6 seconds.

Both variants have a top speed of 201 kmph and support Supercharging, which can add up to 267km of range in just 15 minutes. The cars also feature 19-inch crossflow alloys.

For an additional ₹6 lakh, customers can opt for Tesla's Full Self-Driving package. The Model Y is offered in six colors, with Stealth Grey as the standard option.
