Tesla might officially launch in India by mid-2017: Elon Musk

When Tesla unveiled the Model 3 in April 2016, the company had announced that the electric car can also be booked by Indian customers. However, no specific timeline for Tesla's official India launch was mentioned. Now, company founder and serial entrepreneur Elon Musk has indicated that Tesla might officially launch in India by mid-2017.

The revelation was made after someone on Twitter asked the CEO about the timelines of Tesla's India launch, to which Elon Musk replied, "Hoping for summer this year". The automaker is yet to reveal an official announcement of its launch schedule in the country.

Tesla will be entering India with its most affordable car yet, the Model 3. This entry-level model from the American electric carmaker boasts of a company-claimed range of 346 km and a 0-96 km/h acceleration time of less than 6 seconds.
