Tesla Unveils Upgraded Model S and X With Longer Range, Sleeker Design

Tesla has rolled out a new generation of Model S and Model X, giving its flagship EVs sharper aerodynamics, adaptive suspension tweaks, beefed-up noise cancellation and a cabin facelift. The Model S now stretches to an estimated 410 miles on a charge—Tesla’s longest range yet—while the Model X gains similar efficiency gains in a roomier shell that cuts drag without sacrificing the falcon-wing flair fans love.

Those engineering refinements come with a sticker shock: the Model S starts at $84,990 and the Model X at $89,990, roughly five grand more than the outgoing versions. Tesla frames the hike as a fair trade-off for premium touches and performance polish—think quicker 0-to-60 bursts and a ride that feels less like a tech showcase, more like a grand-touring cocoon. Early adopters will also spot subtler details: new wheel designs, recycled-material trim, and a refreshed infotainment stack tuned for smoother OTA updates.

Wall Street greeted the reveal with a cautious nod; shares edged up about one percent in Monday trading but remain 18 percent lower year-to-date after a Musk-Trump spat rattled sentiment in April. Bulls argue the refreshed duo keeps Tesla’s high-margin lineup competitive as luxury rivals flood showrooms, while skeptics note that premium EV demand is wobbling under tariff worries and cost-of-living fatigue. Either way, the 400-mile club just got two new members, and they’re unmistakably wearing the Tesla badge.
