For online bookings, users must visit the Tesla India website and select their preferred payment method, either full payment or an auto loan. They can configure the exterior and interior colours and choose the full self-driving capability package if desired. Personal details such as name and contact information are required. A booking amount of Rs 22,220 must be paid to confirm the order. After payment, customers receive a booking confirmation.

For offline bookings, customers visit one of Tesla’s three experience centres in India. A sales representative assists with the process, which mirrors the online procedure but is completed in person. Customers provide their contact details, select the variant, choose colour options, and decide on the self-driving package. Tesla recommends taking a test drive and reviewing all booking terms before making a payment.
