Tesla updates Models X & S and raises prices in the USA
As Tesla wrote on social media, the biggest update for the new models is that the Model S Long Range can now reach a total of 410 miles of range. A new paint tone is also available with ‘Frost Blue’, among a few other cosmetic updates.
Social media users were quick to complain about this, as the screenshot below shows. While a more effective Active Noise Cancellation system likely makes an impact on the driving experience, the updated price tag has not impressed drivers. The AWD variant of the Model X now starts at $89,990, while its plaid variant is priced at $104,990. The Model S all-wheel drive now costs $84,990, and its plaid variant is $99,990.
Upgrading the vehicle’s range has cost the vehicle in terms of acceleration, and the Model S Plaid now has a 149 miles per hour top speed, down from a previous 200 mph. Its range increased from 348 miles to 368 miles. Insideevs even speculates that the changes may have a different reasoning, as it “makes their more affordable counterparts–the Model 3 and Model Y–even more attractive to prospective buyers.”
