snip—————————— this was published today.
Tesla recently unveiled a refreshed Model 3, but that’s not the only news. The brand announced a reduction in price for Models S and X by 15-19% on all trim levels. The company launched shorter-range variants of the vehicles, and owners looking to drive the models can now do so for $10,000 less.
According to Nasdaq, the new Model S Standard Range Model starts at $74,990, a 15% decrease in price from $88,490, while the Model X Standard Range Model starts at $79,990, an 18.8% drop from $98,490. The tri-motor plaid versions of Models S and X also receive price cuts, dropping from $109,880 to $91,390.
Another significant change is the larger battery for both vehicles, with an increased EPA range of 405 miles for the S and 348 miles for the X. Due to the price cuts, the SUV is now eligible for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit.
The Model X isn’t eligible for the tax credit because the Inflation Reduction Act caps the prices of vehicles. The threshold is $80,000 for SUVs and trucks and $55,000 for cars, and since the Model X costs $24,000 more, it fails to qualify. Buyers also don’t have to trade between price and color, as Tesla has made all the colors available at the same price.

I post this to ask the question. How slow IS the media.
I don’t want to join the site to correct them about the difference between the Models X and S.
