Tesla set higher prices for the Model S Long Range and Model S Plaid. However, they are introducing a new benefit for new buyers of the Model S.
The company recently raised the prices for two versions of the Model S in the United States:
- Model S Long Range now costs $79,990, which is a $5,000 rise.
- Model S Plaid now costs $94,990, also a $5,000 rise.
This increase aligns the Model S price with the Model X at the same starting point.
It also matches the prices for Tesla Cybertruck AWD and Cyberbeast Trimotor non-Foundation Series models.
However, The vehicle configurations remain the same, suggesting the price hike relates to market changes.
This follows Tesla’s earlier 15% price drop for the Model S and Model X in 2023.
Free Supercharging
However, in a bid to attract buyers, Tesla now offers Free Lifetime Supercharging for new Model S purchases made after December 13, 2024.
Key details of this promotion include:
- This offer links Supercharging to the specific vehicle and owner’s Tesla account.
- The benefit cannot transfer to another vehicle or a new owner.
- Owners still need to pay idle and congestion fees at Supercharger stations.
- Currently, there is no set end date for this promotion.
The Lifetime Supercharging is valued at $5,000, which matches the recent price increase.
Looking ahead, the Model X remains steady for now, but more updates may come.
Potential buyers should watch for any changes to the Model X line.
This promotion might aim to encourage buyers who hesitate about choosing a premium Tesla vehicle.
It could also signal a return to including Lifetime Supercharging as a bonus for high-end models.
