Tesla has officially announced the launch of its first-ever pop‑up experience in Bengaluru, marking a significant step in the electric vehicle makers ongoing expansion in India’s automotive market. The temporary showcase will operate from January 15 to January 31, 2026, and is designed to give residents of India’s tech hub a close‑up look at the company’s flagship SUV, the Model Y.
