Well, Prashant imported a Model X finished in Electric Blue colour to India in 2017. Since then he has been spotted driving the electric SUV quite a few times.
Mukesh Ambani
Tesla Model S 100D
Mr. Ambani’s garage also known as Jio Garage owns not one but two Tesla cars. Both the vehicles were imported to India. The first one is the Model S 100D. It is the flagship sedan that Tesla has to offer. Moreover, his Model S is not the regular one, he has the 100D version which is the high-performance version of the Model S. Now, Tesla has discontinued this version.
The D in the name denotes dual-motors while the 100 denotes the battery capacity which is 100 kWh. It produces a max power output of 483 bhp and 660 Nm of peak torque. The driving range of the Model S is 315 miles. It can hit a ton in 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 250 kmph.
Tesla Model X 100D
The second Tesla that Ambani owns is a Model X SUV. This is also the high-performance variant. It is also called 100D. One of the specialities of the Model X is its rear doors. Tesla calls them falcon wings. This is because they open upwards, kinda like gullwing doors. This makes it very easy to get in and get out of the vehicle. Moreover, they open and close automatically and have sensors in-built so they do not hit the adjacent car or the roof of the garage.
