Tesla debuts in India with Mumbai showroom - and a flood of memes
With flagship properties in Mumbai and Delhi, Tesla appears to be building a premium presence in India from day one — and doing so at a record-breaking price point.

Elon Musk's electric vehicle giant opened its first Indian showroom at the plush Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai today. The company has also launched the Model Y SUV, priced at Rs 60 lakh, sparking equal parts excitement and meme-worthy chaos across social media platforms.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik. But beyond the glitz of the launch, the real buzz happened online - with trending news turning into meme gold.
