The post was written by the man's son who explained how a technical glitch on the Tesla website caused the audaciously expensive error.Hyundai&nbsp;Kona Electriccc | Electric | Automatic₹23.79 - 23.98 Lakhs*Tesla&nbsp;Model SElectric | Automatic₹70 - 1 Cr*Tesla&nbsp;Model 3Electric | Automatic₹70 - 90 Lakhs*The post goes on to highlight that the man was looking to replace his old Ford Kuga with a Tesla Model 3. His decision was also backed by a slew of offers and incentives available in Germany for EV purchases. After filling in all details and adding the desired optionals, the customer clicked the 'Confirm' button but received no message.
