Yesterday, Elon Musk made an announcement via Twitter that would make getting a Model S or a Model X a lot more expensive. They’ll be discontinuing or getting rid of their 75 kWh battery option for their 2 top-tier vehicles.
With them getting ditching that capacity battery, you’ll have to grab the only option left: the 100 kWh capacity. This would make the starting price for the Model S $94,000 from the $76,000 it was and the Model X starting at $97,000 from the $82,000 it was.
Starting on Monday, Tesla will no longer be taking orders for the 75 kWh version of the Model S & X. If you’d like that version, please order by Sunday night at https://t.co/46TXqRJ3C1

The new pricing will put a bigger gap between the Model 3 and the S + X. This also brings the flagship vehicles down to engine option. But you do have a window to order one before the new pricing kicks in. It is a pretty small one though. You got until Sunday evening as Monday the new price points go into effect.
This bit of news puts me a lot further away to Tesla ownership. I like the Model 3 and closer to affording that but prefer the space & features of the Model S instead.
I doubt anyone is excited for the new changes in Tesla pricing but what’re your thoughts on it?
