Tesla to discontinue 75kWh bombardment Model S and Model X variants next week

Tesla is restructuring the Model S and X's pricing model

Starting on Mon, January 14th, Tesla will finish selling the 75 kWh versions of the Model X and the Model South, according to a recent tweet from Elon Musk.

Since Musk shared the news, there hasn't been much more in the way of new information related to the motion, but the executive did say customers who desire one of the presently-to-exist-discontinued models, should practise and so before the stop of Sunday, January 13th.

Twitter user Alistair Gray responded to Musk'south tweet to ask if Tesla plans to offer the Model S and 10 in the same trims as the Model 3, to which Musk answered, "yes."

Are you moving away from battery sizing in a similar sense to how Model 3s are sold ie Long Range, Functioning etc?

Consumers tin can purchase the Model 3 in "Mid Range Battery," "Long Range Bombardment" and "Performance" trim options.

It's unclear if this means that the 75 kWh model (marketed as the 75D) will return with a new name or if another mid-range choice will replace it. At that place are other options too:Engadgettheorizes that perhaps the standard 100D models will get a price drop to fill the bottom slot.

Ideally, something will happen if Tesla removes the 75 kWh models. If it doesn't, the cheapest Model Due south will be the 100D that costs $124,600 CAD and the near accessible Model Ten will cost $127,700 (75D costs $109,200).

Since Tesla still offers the much cheaper Model 3, it might rely on the removal of the depression-price Model S and X to push drivers to buy the Model 3 instead.
