Tesla has just announced a major price cut on its flagship Model S and Model X vehicles. The Model S now starts at just $90,000, down from $94,990 for the Long Range AWD version. The Model X Long Range AWD is now priced at $99,990, down from $109,990. The Tri-Motor Plaid versions of both vehicles have also seen a price reduction of $5,000 to $10,000.
These price cuts come after years of significant price increases on Model S and Model X following a design refresh two years ago. Tesla had difficulties ramping up production of the new version of the vehicle – creating long wait times that the automaker took advantage of price-wise.
The new prices are basically back at the level they were in the summer of 2021. Interestingly, the Model S Plaid and the Model X Plaid are now the same price. It’s not the first time it has happened, but it makes little to no sense as Tesla has generally kept the price of the bigger electric SUV higher than the sedan, which is still the case for the non-Plaid version by as much as $10,000.
The price cuts come just as Tesla updated Model S and Model X recently. The vehicles now feature the new Hardware 4 Autopilot/Self-Driving suite of sensors and a new computer, as well as a slight update to the rear of the vehicles. All Model S and Model X vehicles are built in Fremont, California, and shipped to all Tesla markets worldwide.
