Tesla has partnered with Indian used-car marketplace Spinny to make the shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) easier and more affordable for Indian consumers. The collaboration is part of Tesla’s ‘Switch and Save’ programme, designed to simplify car exchanges and boost EV adoption in India.
Under the partnership, Spinny becomes Tesla’s preferred exchange partner, enabling customers to sell their existing petrol or diesel cars seamlessly while upgrading to a Tesla EV. Buyers can avail an exchange incentive of up to ₹3 lakh, along with a Spinny-exclusive bonus of up to ₹25,000 on delivery.
To further improve affordability, Tesla is offering flexible financing options, with EMIs starting at ₹49,000 and a down payment of ₹6 lakh. Tesla also estimates monthly savings of up to ₹20,000 in running and maintenance costs compared to premium ICE vehicles.
Model Y buyers benefit from a complimentary home wall charger, enabling low-cost charging at around ₹1 per km. Customers can complete the exchange digitally via the Spinny app, at Spinny Hubs, or Tesla Centres.
The partnership aims to reduce friction, build trust, and accelerate India’s transition to electric mobility.
