Tesla's new Model X: New color option, new wheels, higher price tag.

Overview

  • The Model S Long Range now reaches up to 410 miles on a single charge, the highest ever offered in a Tesla vehicle.
  • Both Model S and Model X feature new Frost Blue paint, redesigned wheels, improved aerodynamics and active noise cancellation for a quieter cabin.
  • Base all-wheel-drive trims start at $89,990, with Model S Plaid at $99,990 and Model X Plaid at $104,990, each roughly $5,000 above prior versions.
  • Production is confined to U.S. plants, exposing the refreshed sedans and SUVs to elevated U.S.-China tariffs that have led Tesla to suspend new Chinese orders.
  • Over the past year, Tesla has adjusted prices on its high-end models multiple times as competition intensifies and demand for premium EVs softens.
