Mahindra benchmarking its EVs against the Tesla Model Y

While expected, it's quite nice to see Mahindra benchmarking & learning from the best.

A Tesla Model Y has been spotted inside Mahindra's test facility in Pune, which indicates that the carmaker is benchmarking its upcoming electric SUVs against the Model Y.

The Model Y is a crossover based on the Model 3 and comes in a 5 or 7-seat configuration. It looks almost similar to the Model 3 and shares 75% of its components with the sedan. However, it has a raised ride height and some minor design changes.

The Model Y comes with a single or dual-motor setup. Depending on the variant, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 - 6.0 seconds.

The Tesla Model Y was the world's best-selling EV in 2022. Tesla sold 7,45,500 units, registering a massive 91% increase compared to the previous year.
