Tesla has rolled out refreshed versions of its Model S and Model X in the U.S., introducing a series of subtle yet refined upgrades aimed at elevating luxury, performance, and comfort.
Among the highlights is a new Frost Blue paint option, adding a sleek visual appeal to the lineup. The Model S Long Range now boasts an extended range of up to 410 miles, while both vehicles benefit from enhanced interior quietness thanks to advanced Active Noise Cancellation.
Additional updates include:
- Dynamic ambient lighting for a more immersive cabin atmosphere
- Adaptive driving beams for improved nighttime visibility
- Redesigned wheels that enhance both aesthetics and aerodynamics
While the upgrades have been welcomed by many Tesla enthusiasts who appreciate the incremental improvements, the $5,000 price increase for both models has sparked debate.
Critics question whether the enhancements are substantial enough to justify the price bump—especially as Tesla’s more affordable Model 3 and Model Y continue to dominate sales and appeal to a broader market. Some industry watchers also express skepticism about whether the updates will drive a significant increase in new buyers or prompt current owners to upgrade.
The discussion now centers on whether these refinements will translate into stronger sales in Tesla’s premium segment or if the company may need to offer more dramatic innovation to stay competitive in the evolving EV landscape.
