Tesla makes huge price cuts to Model S and Model X
Tesla finally announced the long-awaited (and long-promised) $35,000 base version of the Model 3 on Thursday, but the company also dramatically reduced the starting price of its other cars, the Models S and X. Each version of those cars now costs between $12,000 to $18,000 less than they did earlier this week.
The Model S now starts at $79,000. That base version is now called “standard range,” just like the Model 3. (In fact, Tesla has adopted the Model 3 naming convention for the Model S and Model X moving forward.) The standard range Model S will travel up to 270 miles on a charge, has a 140 mile per hour top speed, and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds.
Above that, Tesla now sells a long range…
