The 285 mile Model S will cost $78,000, while the 250 mile Model X will be $83,000. The progressions come in the wake of Tesla stopping online sales of the $35,000 Model 3 and adding Autopilot as standard to the remainder of its vehicles.
The new Model S and Model X cars will almost certainly charge all the more rapidly from Tesla's Superchargers. They'll have the capacity to draw 200kW from the company?s V3 charging stations, and 145kW from the V2. At the point when the V3 superchargers were first reported toward the start of March, the two cars were restricted to 120kW. Just the Model 3 can exploit their maximum rate of 250kW.
Outside of the new drivetrain design, the new Model S and Model X cars are likewise furnished with another air suspension system that Tesla says should feel softer while cruising and more responsive during ?dynamic driving.? The company says it plans to continue upgrading the system with future software updates.
The new Tesla Model S and Model X are accessible beginning today. On the off chance that current owners of either car need to get one of the new models then Tesla will include the $20,000 Ludicrous Mode upgrade at no additional charge.
