Tesla Cuts Model S and Model X Options and Adjusts Prices
Tesla has ended complimentary Supercharging on its private network of fast-charging stations for new owners, and the EV maker has also changed its prices and option configurations.
Model S and Model X sales after November 2 no longer qualify for Supercharging credits that allow owners to consume 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, reports Tesla’s support website. That benefit, or roughly 1000 miles of prepaid driving, has phased out except for some Model 3 Performance model owners who now receive free unlimited Supercharging for life or for customers who bought a car with a referral code that offers charging for six months.
As we reported three weeks ago, Tesla has dropped interior options in a bid to reduce production costs. On the Model S, the black cloth and black leatherette and beige headliner options are no longer available on the configurator. An all-black leatherette cabin with ash wood is standard, and the two options (black/white and beige/black) are $1500 each instead of $3300. The rear-facing child seats-that funky $4000 option offered on no other sedan-are now no longer offered by Tesla. Neither is the $2000 panoramic moonroof. In its place is a fixed glass roof. Exterior colors drop from seven to five, with the removal of a silver and black metallic.
Model S 75D base prices have increased by $1000 to $79,200, while the 100D decreases by $500, to $97,200. The P100D remains the same price, $136,200.
This story repeats for the Model X, with all of the trim and option changes detailed above save for the fixed console between the second-row seats on six-seat models. That’s not available anymore. The 75D trim increases by $1000 to $85,200, the 100D is down by $500 to $100,200, and the P100D hovers at the same $141,200.
