Tesla has introduced Halloween Mode for the Model Y and Model Y L in India for the first time, bringing ghost-themed visuals, spooky sound effects, a special light show and an in-car photobooth experience through an over-the-air software update.
Tesla India has announced the introduction of Halloween Mode for the Model Y and Model Y L in the country. The new software feature brings a range of Halloween-themed customisations and interactive experiences, allowing owners to give their electric SUVs a spooky makeover without visiting a service centre.
The update is being rolled out through Tesla’s Over-the-Air (OTA) technology, which allows the company to deliver new features, improvements and performance enhancements directly to vehicles. Customers can also visit Tesla Experience Centers across India to experience the Halloween Mode on the Model Y.
Tesla Halloween Mode Brings Five New Experiences
The Halloween Mode introduces several festive features designed to enhance the ownership experience. One of the highlights is the Ghost Costume, which transforms the vehicle’s in-app avatar with a special ghost-themed design.
The Trick or Treat Mode adds an interactive element, making the Model Y come alive when visitors approach the vehicle. It triggers spooky sound effects and flickering lights, creating a Halloween-themed experience for guests and visitors.
Tesla has also introduced a Signature Light Show featuring a new haunting light sequence. This is accompanied by exclusive seasonal vehicle wraps and an eerie lock sound to complete the festive theme.
Another addition is the Photobooth Experience, which allows occupants to capture fun photo moments directly from the vehicle. Meanwhile, the Voice From Beyond feature lets owners speak through the Tesla app, with the car delivering their messages in its distinctive voice.
These features are part of Tesla’s software-driven approach, allowing customers to access new experiences through OTA updates.
Tesla Extends Switch And Save Carnival Through Diwali
Alongside the Halloween Mode announcement, Tesla has invited customers to visit its Experience Centers across India to explore the new feature. The company has also extended its Switch & Save Carnival through Diwali, offering additional value to customers considering a switch to electric mobility.
Tesla is also highlighting the ownership economics of the Model Y, presenting a monthly cost breakdown to demonstrate potential savings compared with conventional petrol and diesel SUVs.
According to the company’s indicative calculation, the Model Y requires a down payment of Rs 6 lakh, while monthly payments start at Rs 39,990 under a seven-year financing plan at an indicative 8.5% annual interest rate.
Tesla estimates monthly savings of Rs 20,000 on fuel and maintenance compared with an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. Based on these calculations, the effective monthly ownership cost comes to Rs 19,990.
The company attributes the potential savings to lower running and maintenance expenses, including the absence of conventional oil changes, spark plug replacements and multi-speed transmission servicing. Regenerative braking also helps reduce brake pad wear.
However, the financing figures are indicative and subject to financier approval. The savings calculation is based on specified assumptions regarding electricity costs, vehicle efficiency, fuel consumption and servicing expenses.
Tesla Experience Centers Across India
Tesla currently lists multiple Experience Centers and approved service facilities across India. These include locations in Noida, Delhi, Gurugram, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Mumbai.
Customers can schedule a test drive of the 2026 Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and the six-seater Model Y L through Tesla’s official website or by calling its toll-free number, 1800-203-1538.
With the introduction of Halloween Mode, Tesla is further expanding the software-based features available to its Indian customers while using seasonal updates to make the Model Y ownership experience more interactive.
