Buying a Tesla, especially the Tesla Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) variant, can be an exciting plan. It has an WLTP range of 500 km and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds. But most buyers have to opt for a loan to manage its substantial on-road price. In this article, we break down of the actual cost of purchasing a Tesla, so you can plan your purchase efficiently.
The Tesla RWD model has a total on-road price of ₹63,78,285. This price includes the ex-showroom price of ₹59,89,000, and additional costs such as insurance (assumed to be ₹3,29,395).
Since lenders typically finance up to 90% of the on-road price, buyers have to make a minimum down payment of 10%. For Tesla RWD, this translates to a payment of ₹6,37,828.5.
After this, the remaining loan amount comes to ₹57,40,456.5.
Assuming that you have taken the loan for 5 years at an interest rate of 9.5%, your estimated EMI would be ₹1,20,560 per month. In this case, the total payable interest would amount to ₹14,93,160. This will take the total amount payable ₹72,33,616.
