But what makes this moment even more iconic is the car itself – the Tesla Model 3.
Tesla Model 3: All You Need To Know
The Tesla Model 3 is one of the most talked-about electric vehicles worldwide. It’s sleek, smart, and powerful – a perfect blend of innovation and sustainability.
Here are the top features of the Model 3:
The Long Range version of the Model 3 can travel up to 602 km (WLTP) on a single charge, making it ideal for long journeys without frequent stops.
In terms of performance, the Performance variant can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, giving it the power and thrill of a sports car. Inside, the Model 3 boasts a minimalist interior centred around a large 15-inch touchscreen, which controls almost all functions – from navigation and entertainment to climate control.
When it comes to safety, the Model 3 proudly holds a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, making it one of the safest electric vehicles on the road today.
Tesla’s Autopilot system adds to this by offering advanced driver assistance features, with an optional Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability for a near-autonomous driving experience. For charging, the car supports fast charging via Tesla Superchargers and Type 2 connectors, ensuring that users can quickly power up and get back on the road with ease.
Price in India
While Tesla is yet to officially launch in India, the estimated price for the Model 3 would be around Rs 70 to Rs 80 lakh (ex-showroom) after import duties and taxes. This puts it in the premium EV bracket in the Indian market.

Seeing an Indian number plate – especially one marked MP 09 (Indore) – on an American street outside one of the world’s most advanced AI companies is no small moment. It’s not just about the car, but what it symbolises – the global Indian identity, innovation, and ambition.
