Tesla Hikes Model S, Model X Prices With Minor Updates, New Paint Option
Tesla (TSLA, Financials) launched updated versions of its Model S and Model X vehicles with minor changes and a $5,000 price increase across all trims. The refresh includes a new Frost Blue paint option, improved cabin noise insulation, adaptive driving beams, updated wheel designs, and a new front bumper camera for better visibility and road condition detection. Tesla also added dynamic ambient lighting with animated entry effects, bringing these features in line with what's already available in the Model 3 and Model Y. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Sign with META. The Model S Long Range now offers up to 410 miles of range on the redesigned 19-inch Magnetite wheelsan improvement of just 5 miles. The new 21-inch Velarium wheels reduce range to 380 miles, two miles less than the previous version. The Model X receives similar cosmetic updates and slightly more space for third-row occupants, although Tesla did not provide detailed specifications. Pricing has increased to $84,990 for the Model S Long Range and $99,990 for the Plaid version. The Model X Long Range now starts at $89,990, while the Plaid variant is priced at $104,990. Tesla did not include upgrades such as 800-volt battery architecture or 48-volt systems, features that are increasingly common in rival EVs. With Tesla delivering just 12,881 units of its "other models" segmentincluding the Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and Semiin the first quarter of 2025, analysts say these modest updates are unlikely to reverse the broader decline in demand for the company's flagship vehicles.

5 Most Expensive Teslas — Can You Afford One?
Now that Tesla's CEO, and richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has left his White House duties and is once again refocusing on the finances of his car company, it's interesting to see just what his favorite income earner charges consumers. Teslas are many things, but one thing they are not is cheap. Read Next: Find Out: These cars offer some of the most innovative technology available to drivers today — that is, if they have the money to afford them. Here are some of the most expensive Teslas and what it could cost you monthly to buy one. 2025 Starting MSRP: $81,630 to $91,630 Estimated average monthly payment: $1,148 The Model S from Tesla has a lot to boast about, including a base dual motor which can power the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds, as well as go for a 405-mile range. However, the price point is equal to that of the company's Model S Long Range, which was more than $88,000 back in 2023. It's a powerful electric vehicle that requires a bit of green to get behind the driver's seat. Discover More: 2025 Starting MSRP: $81,630 to $96,630 Estimated average monthly payment: $1,299 While it was originally priced at about $140,000 in 2023, the Model X Plaid has come down in terms of cost, but not in features. It has the same tri-motor AWD set up as the Model S Plaid while offering a roomy interior for up to six riders. While it's heavier than the average SUV and not as aerodynamic as other cars, it has a range of 326 miles and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds, which is why drivers pay top dollar to own one. 2025 Starting MSRP: $81,985 Estimated average monthly payment: $1,209 Love 'em or hate 'em, the Cybertruck is out on the road and for a pretty penny, too. The Cybertruck provides an up to 340-mile range, 600 horsepower, an estimated 340-mile range and 11,000 pounds of towing capabilities. After numerous production delays, Tesla's founder, Elon Musk, tried to make the Cybertruck $30,000 cheaper, but despite not being able to reach that price, thousands of drivers are currently behind the wheel of these EVs. 2025 Starting MSRP: $101,985 Estimated average monthly payment: $1,766 If you want the Cybertruck souped up, you will have to order the Cyberbeast. Deliveries tend to take about a year, making it the most expensive Tesla that one can find in the catalogue. It can still tow up to 11,000 pounds, as well as get a top speed of 130 with 845 horsepower and go for a range of about 320 miles. What you end up paying for is the power of the Cyberbeast. 2026 Starting MSRP: $200,000 to $250,000 Estimated average monthly payment: Could be upwards of $4,000 over five years One of the brand's original models got a significant upgrade with the New Tesla Roadster, a car that reigns as Tesla's most expensive vehicle to date — if it gets released, which would be in 2026 at the earliest. In order to simply reserve it, drivers need to put down $50,000 and then come up with the average starting price of about $200,000, with a Founders Series model specially priced for an estimated $250,000 total. If you are looking to get behind the wheel of one, start saving your pennies now. Caitlyn Moorhead contributed to the reporting for this article.

Tesla's new Model X and S are quieter, heavier, and more expensive
Tesla's most expensive EVs just got pricier. The carmaker unveiled refreshed versions of the Model S and X on Friday, featuring a host of upgraded features — and a $4,500 price increase. Tesla said the new versions of its electric crossover SUV and sedan, which are now on sale in the US, come with more effective noise cancellation, smoother suspension, and increased range. The Model S Long Range now has 410 miles of range, which Tesla says is its longest-range EV yet, and the Model X All Wheel Drive and Plaid variants have also had their range increased. The upgrade also includes customizable dynamic lighting on the interior, and new front-facing cameras for Tesla's autopilot and "Actually Smart Summon" (ASS) features. Both EVs, which are already the most expensive models Tesla offers, now cost an extra $4,500, and both are now slightly heavier. The Model S Plaid has gained an extra 26 pounds, while the new Model X Plaid is 186 pounds heavier than its predecessor. The updated Model S Plaid also has a top speed of 149mph, less than the 200mph max of the previous version. As two of Tesla's oldest models, the X and S were overdue for a refresh, but the updated EVs do not include many of the more innovative technologies Tesla introduced in the Cybertruck in 2023, such as the divisive pickup's steer-by-wire feature and 800-volt battery pack. The new X and S are unlikely to provide significant assistance in turning around Tesla's sales slump, with the automaker seeing deliveries drop around the globe amid growing competition and backlash against CEO Elon Musk's political interventions. Despite being an important part of Tesla's history, the two luxury EVs now make up a negligible proportion of the company's sales. Tesla sold 12,881 "other models" — which include the Model X and S as well as the Cybertruck — in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 323,800 of its mass market Model 3 and Y vehicles.
