Tesla made big news last month when it rolled out the Model 3,Yoshihiro Tanbara Archives its first "affordable" car — and now, some of the automaker's more deluxe options are getting a little cheaper, too.
The costs for the topline versions of the Model S and Model X have both been reduced on Tesla's online design studio. Electrekspotted the changes on the site, and the automaker confirmed the discounts in a statement.
The savings come after Tesla improved the efficiency of the production process for its 100kWh battery packs by about three percent. Those packs power the high end vehicles, so the automaker cut the prices between $3,500 and $5,000, depending on the model.
The discounts will be applied to all current undelivered custom orders for the cars, according to the report, so even customers who designed their vehicles before the changes went into effect will be eligible for the savings.
Here's a breakdown of the new price structure:
Model S 100D: $97,500 ➡️ $94,000
Model S P100D: $140,000 ➡️ $135,000
Model X 100D: $99,500 ➡️ $96,000
Model X P100D: $145,000 ➡️ $140,000
The decreased costs aren't a huge departure for the high-end versions of the Model S, though — they're actually reverting back to the original prices for the variants after a hike back in April. We reached out to Tesla to see if Model S owners who purchased a car at the higher price will receive some type of refund, and will update the story upon receiving a response.
These are the highest end models in the Tesla lineup, though, so knocking off a few thousand measly dollars doesn't make too much of a difference on the final sticker price of over $90,000. If you want a Tesla, you're gonna wind up dropping some cash, no matter how big of a discount you might get.
