Tesla has been at the forefront of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution since the launch of its first production car, the Model S, in 2012. Now, the company is taking its commitment to the EV market even further by slashing the prices of its premium Model S and Model X electric vehicles for the second time in 2023.
The overnight update to Tesla’s US configurator shows cuts of $US5000 for the Model S Long Range AWD and Tri-Moto Plaid, and a $US10,000 price cut in both the Model X Long Range AWD and Plaid versions. This means that the Model S and Model X Plaid variants now cost the same.
The price cuts come just two months after Tesla made huge price cuts across its whole range in January. The Model 3 and Y price cuts in January made huge news in the automotive industry and essentially kicked off an EV price war that forced other EV makers to also cut their prices significantly.
The new price cuts also come as Tesla recently updated the Model S and X to include Tesla’s new Hardware 4 computer with new cameras and sensors. This update has allowed Tesla to reduce the cost of its flagship models by as much as $US29,000 ($A43,000).
Tesla’s commitment to making EVs more affordable is a major step forward in the fight against climate change. By making EVs more accessible to consumers, Tesla is helping to reduce emissions and create a more sustainable future. With these latest price cuts, Tesla is leading the way in making EVs more affordable and accessible to everyone.
