Tesla India officially marked the arrival of its new Model Y L this week, hosting a series of launch events across its key Experience Centres under the theme “Building a World of Amazing Abundance.”

As electric vehicles continue their global expansion, cost and total ownership have become one of the most searched and decisive themes influencing consumer behavior.

Elon Musk said Wednesday that millions of Tesla owners will need hardware upgrades to run a future version of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software that does not require human supervision, reversing years of assurances that existing vehicles would be capable of supporting it.

In the first quarter of 2026, Tesla recorded a sharp drop in U.S. sales, marking its third consecutive year of declining first-quarter results.

Tesla has rolled out a major over the air software update that introduces a suite of new features and refinements aimed at enhancing vehicle performance, driver convenience and overall user experience.

Tesla has once again emerged as the world’s leading seller of fully electric vehicles, regaining momentum in early 2026 after facing growing competition and a temporary loss of its top position last year.

Tesla is expected to report a decline in first-quarter vehicle deliveries compared to the previous quarter, as the electric vehicle maker faces uneven demand and growing competition in key markets.
