Tesla Quietly Boosts Model Y Long Range in India to 661km WLTP With Larger Battery

Prices in India remain unchanged following a quiet battery upgrade to the Long Range RWD.

Overview

  • Multiple Indian outlets report the Long Range RWD now claims 661km WLTP, a 39km increase.
  • The range gain is attributed to a larger roughly 84.2kWh pack, up from 78.1kWh, according to industry reports cited by the coverage.
  • Performance is unchanged with a rear-axle motor and a 0–100 km/h time of 5.6 seconds, while the Standard RWD continues with a 64kWh battery and a 500km WLTP rating.
  • Ex-showroom prices remain Rs 59.89 lakh for the Standard RWD and Rs 67.89 lakh for the Long Range RWD.
  • Outlets describe the change as a quiet update with no official Tesla announcement, and separate claims on DC fast-charging rates and FSD pricing are single-source reports.
