Overview
- Tesla raised starting prices for both long-range variants to $89,990 and Plaid trims to $104,990 after a uniform $5,000 bump.
- The refreshed Model S Long Range now delivers up to 410 miles per charge, while both models benefit from improved aerodynamics, redesigned wheels and enhanced noise cancellation.
- New additions include Frost Blue paint, dynamic ambient lighting, a front bumper camera for Autopilot and revised suspension for a quieter, smoother ride.
- Tesla declined to add Cybertruck-style innovations such as steer-by-wire or an 800-volt battery pack, and the Model S Plaid picked up 26 pounds, cutting its top speed to 149 mph.
- Deliveries of the Model S and X have plunged to a negligible share of Tesla’s output, underlining the company’s pivot toward higher-volume models.
