Tesla has officially launched new versions of the Model S and the Model X in
the US. As Electrek notes, however, the upgrades may not be quite as big or
compelling as one could hope when the vehicles now cost $5,000 more. The
automaker has posted a list of updates for the vehicles on X, including a new
Frost Blue paint color option and a range of up to 410 miles for the Model S
Long Range version, which is Tesla's longest range yet. Getting the Frost
Blue paint will cost buyers $2,500 more, however, and the new range is only 5
miles longer than the previous versions.

The company said the vehicles are now quieter inside, thanks to a more
effective Active Noise Cancellation feature, and that their interiors now
come with dynamic ambient lighting with unique animations. They can run more
smoothly due to their new bushings and suspension design, and their new wheel
designs enable the longer range. In addition, the models now have a new front
bumper camera for better visibility, as well as adaptive driving beams. Model
S Plaid's new exterior styling was apparently optimized for high-speed
stability. Meanwhile, Model X now has more space for third row passengers and
cargo. Take note that the base vehicles come with 19-inch wheels, but
customers can upgrade with 20-to-22-inch wheels for $4,500 more.

Tesla only sold approximately 50,000 Model S and X vehicles around the world
last year, whereas it delivered over 1.7 million Model 3 and Model Y
vehicles. Whether these changes can convince people to buy the Models S and X
remains to be seen. The Model S will now cost customers at least $84,990,
while the Model Y will set them back at least $89,990.

Model S & X are now even better – launching today in the US 🇺🇸
